Travis Build Status Windows Tests Coveralls Coverage

Hex.pm Version Deps Status Hex.pm

A ets based list with an expire feature. So you can push keys to the list that will expire after a gven time. An example use case could be a user online list with additional data.

Installation

If available in Hex, the package can be installed as:

  1. Add sorted_ttl_list to your list of dependencies in mix.exs:

    def deps do
      [{:sorted_ttl_list, "~> 1.0.0"}]
    end
  2. Ensure sorted_ttl_list is started before your application:

    def application do
      [applications: [:sorted_ttl_list]]
    end

Config

You can set the configuration within your config.exs or just use the environment vars.

  • folder Binary default: ``: the folder to save the dets files into. If not defined it’ll use the project root folder. env-var: SORTED_TTL_LIST_FOLDER ## Basic usage ### START Create the table elixir { :ok, tid } = SortedTtlList.start_link( "my_tablename" ) Create the table with active backup/restore on terminate/load via dets. elixir { :ok, tid } = SortedTtlList.start_link( "my_tablename", true ) ### PUSH / UPDATE Add elements to the list or update existing keys elixir { "element_key", 1480592547, 1480592607, %{ additional: "data" } } = SortedTtlList.push( "my_tablename", "element_key", 1480592547, 60, %{ additional: "data" } ) ### GET get a single element by key elixir { "element_key", 1480592547, 1480592607, %{ additional: "data" } } = SortedTtlList.get( "my_tablename", "element_key" ) ### LIST get the sorted list elixir [ { "another_key", 1337, 1480622607, %{ another: "data" } }, { "element_key", 1480592547, 1480592607, %{ additional: "data" } } ] = SortedTtlList.list( "my_tablename" ) or sorted fron high to low elixir [ { "another_key", 1337, 1480622607, %{ another: "data" } }, { "element_key", 1480592547, 1480592607, %{ additional: "data" } } ] = SortedTtlList.list( "my_tablename", true ) ### DELETE delete a element elixir :ok = SortedTtlList.list( "my_tablename", "element_key" ) ### FLUSH flush all data within a table elixir :ok = SortedTtlList.flush( "my_tablename" ) ### SIZE get the size of the list elixir 2 = SortedTtlList.size( "my_tablename" ) ### EXISTS check of the list is started and the ets table exists elixir true = SortedTtlList.exists( "my_tablename" ) false = SortedTtlList.exists( "nobody" ) ### BACKUP Manual backup of the ets table to a dets file. If persistence is active this is also done on terminate elixir :ok = SortedTtlList.backup( "my_tablename" ) ## Benchmark The run the benchmark call: sh MIX_ENV=test mix run bench/sorted_ttl_list_bench.exs ## Release History |Version|Date|Description| |:—:|:—:|:—| |1.1.1|2016-12-10|added config to define the dets folder| |1.1.0|2016-12-08|added optional persistence via dets on load and terminate. There are also a new methods for manual backup .backup/1 and to clear the whole table .flush/1. Added benchmarks | |1.0.0|2016-12-08|breaking change: return of push is now the generated data { key, score, expire_ts, data } instead of just an :ok | |0.1.2|2016-12-01|removed io inspect| |0.1.1|2016-12-01|added reverse option for list| |0.1.0|2016-12-01|added exists method and optimized docs| |0.0.1|2016-11-28|Minimal elixir version| |0.0.1|2016-11-28|first alpha version …| ## The MIT License (MIT) Copyright © 2016 M.
