defmodule EQC.Pulse.Supervisor do @compile {:parse_transform, :pulse_instrument} @compile {:pulse_replace_module, [{:supervisor, :pulse_supervisor}]} alias EQC.Pulse.GenServer, as: GenServer @moduledoc """ A behaviour module for implementing supervision functionality. A supervisor is a process which supervises other processes called child processes. Supervisors are used to build an hierarchical process structure called a supervision tree, a nice way to structure fault-tolerant applications. A supervisor implemented using this module will have a standard set of interface functions and include functionality for tracing and error reporting. It will also fit into a supervision tree. ## Example In order to define a supervisor, we need to first define a child process that is going to be supervised. In order to do so, we will define a GenServer that represents a stack: defmodule Stack do use GenServer def start_link(state) do GenServer.start_link(__MODULE__, state, [name: :sup_stack]) end def handle_call(:pop, _from, [h|t]) do {:reply, h, t} end def handle_cast({:push, h}, t) do {:noreply, [h|t]} end end We can now define our supervisor and start it as follows: # Import helpers for defining supervisors import Supervisor.Spec # We are going to supervise the Stack server which will # be started with a single argument [:hello] children = [ worker(Stack, [[:hello]]) ] # Start the supervisor with our one child {:ok, pid} = Supervisor.start_link(children, strategy: :one_for_one) Notice that when starting the GenServer, we have registered it with name `:sup_stack`, which allows us to call it directly and get what is on the stack: GenServer.call(:sup_stack, :pop) #=> :hello GenServer.cast(:sup_stack, {:push, :world}) #=> :ok GenServer.call(:sup_stack, :pop) #=> :world However, there is a bug in our stack server. If we call `:pop` and the stack is empty, it is going to crash because no clause matches. Let's try it: GenServer.call(:sup_stack, :pop) =ERROR REPORT==== Luckily, since the server is being supervised by a supervisor, the supervisor will automatically start a new one, with the default stack of `[:hello]` like before: GenServer.call(:sup_stack, :pop) == :hello Supervisors support different strategies; in the example above, we have chosen `:one_for_one`. Furthermore, each supervisor can have many workers and supervisors as children, each of them with their specific configuration, shutdown values, and restart strategies. Continue reading this moduledoc to learn more about supervision strategies and then follow to the `Supervisor.Spec` module documentation to learn about the specification for workers and supervisors. ## Module-based supervisors In the example above, a supervisor was dynamically created by passing the supervision structure to `start_link/2`. However, supervisors can also be created by explicitly defining a supervision module: defmodule MyApp.Supervisor do use Supervisor def start_link do Supervisor.start_link(__MODULE__, []) end def init([]) do children = [ worker(Stack, [[:hello]]) ] supervise(children, strategy: :one_for_one) end end You may want to use a module-based supervisor if: * You need to do some particular action on supervisor initialization, like setting up a ETS table. * You want to perform partial hot-code swapping of the tree. For example, if you add or remove a children, the module-based supervision will add and remove the new children directly, while the dynamic supervision requires the whole tree to be restarted in order to perform such swaps. ## Strategies * `:one_for_one` - if a child process terminates, only that process is restarted. * `:one_for_all` - if a child process terminates, all other child processes are terminated and then all child processes (including the terminated one) are restarted. * `:rest_for_one` - if a child process terminates, the "rest" of the child processes, i.e. the child processes after the terminated one in start order, are terminated. Then the terminated child process and the rest of the child processes are restarted. * `:simple_one_for_one` - similar to `:one_for_one` but suits better when dynamically attaching children. This strategy requires the supervisor specification to contain only one child. Many functions in this module behave slightly differently when this strategy is used. ## Name Registration A supervisor is bound to the same name registration rules as a `GenServer`. Read more about it in the `GenServer` docs.

If the supervisor and its child processes are successfully created (i.e. if the start function of all child processes returns `{:ok, child}`, `{:ok, child, info}`, or `:ignore`) the function returns `{:ok, pid}`, where `pid` is the pid of the supervisor. If there already exists a process with the specified name, the function returns `{:error, {:already_started, pid}}`, where pid is the pid of that process. If any of the child process start functions fail or return an error tuple or an erroneous value, the supervisor will first terminate all already started child processes with reason `:shutdown` and then terminate itself and return `{:error, {:shutdown, reason}}`.
