# throat
|
||
|
|
|
||
|
|
Throttle the parallelism of an asynchronous, promise returning, function / functions. This has special utility when you set the concurrency to `1`. That way you get a mutually exclusive lock.

||
|
|
|

## Installation
|
||
|
|
|
||
|
|
npm install throat
|
||
|
|
|
||
|
|
## API
|
||
|
|
|
||
|
|
### throat(concurrency)
|
||
|
|
|
||
|
|
This returns a function that acts a bit like a lock (exactly as a lock if concurrency is 1).
|
||
|
|
|
||
|
|
Example, only 2 of the following functions will execute at any one time:
|
||
|
|
|
||
|
|
```js
|
||
|
|
const throat = require('throat')(2);
|
||
|
|
// alternatively provide your own promise implementation
|
||
|
|
const throat = require('throat')(require('promise'))(2);
|
||
|
|
const promise = Promise.resolve();
|
||
|
|
|
||
|
|
const resA = throat(() => /* async stuff... */ promise);
|
||
|
|
const resB = throat(() => /* async stuff... */ promise);
|
||
|
|
const resC = throat(() => /* async stuff... */ promise);
|
||
|
|
const resD = throat(() => /* async stuff... */ promise);
|
||
|
|
const resE = throat(() => /* async stuff... */ promise);
|
||
|
|
```
|
||
|
|
|
||
|
|
### throat(concurrency, worker)
|
||
|
|
|
||
|
|
This returns a function that is an exact copy of `worker` except that it will only execute up to `concurrency` times in parallel before further requests are queued:
|
||
|
|
|
||
|
|
```js
|
||
|
|
const throat = require('throat');
|
||
|
|
// alternatively provide your own promise implementation
|
||
|
|
const throat = require('throat')(require('promise'));
|
||
|
|
|
||
|
|
const input = ['fileA.txt', 'fileB.txt', 'fileC.txt', 'fileD.txt'];
|
||
|
|
const data = Promise.all(input.map(throat(2, fileName => readFile(fileName))));
|
||
|
|
```
|
||
|
|
|
||
|
|
Only 2 files will be read at a time, sometimes limiting parallelism in this way can improve scalability.
