DataLoader
This is an implementation of Facebook's DataLoader in Golang.
Install
go get -u github.com/graph-gophers/dataloader
Usage
// setup batch function
batchFn := func(ctx context.Context, keys dataloader.Keys) []*dataloader.Result {
var results []*dataloader.Result
// do some async work to get data for specified keys
// append to this list resolved values
return results
}
// create Loader with an in-memory cache
loader := dataloader.NewBatchedLoader(batchFn)
/**
* Use loader
*
* A thunk is a function returned from a function that is a
* closure over a value (in this case an interface value and error).
* When called, it will block until the value is resolved.
*/
thunk := loader.Load(context.TODO(), dataloader.StringKey("key1")) // StringKey is a convenience method that make wraps string to implement `Key` interface
result, err := thunk()
if err != nil {
// handle data error
}
log.Printf("value: %#v", result)Don't need/want to use context?
You're welcome to install the v1 version of this library.
Cache
This implementation contains a very basic cache that is intended only to be used for short lived DataLoaders (i.e. DataLoaders that ony exsist for the life of an http request). You may use your own implementation if you want.
it also has a
NoCachetype that implements the cache interface but all methods are noop. If you do not wish to cache anything.
Examples
There are a few basic examples in the example folder.

Formed in 2009, the Archive Team (not to be confused with the archive.org Archive-It Team) is a rogue archivist collective dedicated to saving copies of rapidly dying or deleted websites for the sake of history and digital heritage. The group is 100% composed of volunteers and interested parties, and has expanded into a large amount of related projects for saving online and digital history.
