Shutdown Keeper

---

This package is designed to help you better control your program's shutdown process.

Its main goal is to provide you with a simple way to gracefully shut down your program.

Installation

go get github.com/hsldymq/shutdownKeeper

Example 1: Graceful shutdown of an HTTP service

This example below demonstrates the basic usage of Shutdown Keeper for performing a graceful shutdown of an HTTP service.

package main

import (
	"context"
	"github.com/hsldymq/shutdownKeeper"
	"net/http"
	"os"
	"syscall"
	"time"
)

func main() {
	// Configure the shutdownKeeper to listen for SIGINT and SIGTERM signals,
	// and allow a maximum of 20 seconds for the service to perform a graceful shutdown
	keeper := shutdownKeeper.NewKeeper(shutdownKeeper.KeeperOpts{
		Signals:     []os.Signal{syscall.SIGINT, syscall.SIGTERM},
		MaxHoldTime: 20 * time.Second,  // default is 30 seconds
	})

	go func() {
		server := &http.Server{
			Addr: ":8011",
			Handler: http.HandlerFunc(func(w http.ResponseWriter, r *http.Request) {
				// ...
			}),
		}

        // When the service receives a SIGINT or SIGTERM signal, shutdown keeper will not terminate the program immediately,
        // instead, it will call registered functions to do the cleanup work,  like close the HTTP server, release resources, etc.
		keeper.OnShuttingDown(func() { server.Shutdown(context.Background()) })
		// Or you can use the following code to achieve the same effect:
		/*
		    go func(token shutdownKeeper.HoldToken) {
			    // Release the HoldToken when the HTTP server is finally shut down.
			    // Then the program will return.
			    defer token.Release()
			
			    // ListenShutdown() will block until the service receives a SIGINT or SIGTERM signal.
			    token.ListenShutdown()

			    server.Shutdown(context.Background())
		    }(keeper.AllocHoldToken()) // HoldToken is used to listen to the shutdown event and perform a graceful shutdown.
		 */
		
		_ = server.ListenAndServe()
	}()

	// Wait will block the main goroutine.
	// When the service receives a SIGINT or SIGTERM signal, it will keep blocking until every HoldToken is released or the MaxHoldTime is reached.
	keeper.Wait()
}

Example 2: Shutdown by Context.Done event

Suppose we have a long-running task, and we accept an HTTP request to shut down the task.

Shutdown Keeper can also listen to the Context.Done event and perform a graceful shutdown.

package main

import (
	"context"
	"github.com/hsldymq/shutdownKeeper"
	"net/http"
	"time"
)

func main() {
	ctx, cancel := context.WithCancel(context.Background())
	keeper := shutdownKeeper.NewKeeper(shutdownKeeper.KeeperOpts{
		Context:     ctx,
		MaxHoldTime: 20 * time.Second,
	})

    // AllocHoldToken allocates a HoldToken, the shutdown keeper tracks every tokens' status that it allocates.
    // once shutdown process is triggered, shutdown keeper will wait for every token to be released.
    go func(token shutdownKeeper.HoldToken) {
        defer token.Release()

        // RunTask is used to run a task that may block this goroutine until the context is canceled.
        RunTask(token.Context())
    }(keeper.AllocHoldToken())

	server := &http.Server{
		Addr: ":8011",
		Handler: http.HandlerFunc(func(w http.ResponseWriter, r *http.Request) {
			if r.Method == "POST" && r.URL.Path == "/shutdown" {
                // after cancel function is called, shutdown keeper will start the graceful shutdown process.
				cancel()
				return
			}
			// ...
		}),
	}
	keeper.OnShuttingDown(func() { server.Shutdown(context.Background()) })
	go server.ListenAndServe()

	keeper.Wait()
}
