Update README.md example
Since Supervisor.Spec is deprecated I think that the documentation example could be updated.
This PR updates the supervisor example on README.md, now DynamicSupervisor and child specifications are used.
Also there was a bug in the example, in the callback {:swarm, :end_handoff, state}. The state in the example is a tuple {name, delay} and the callback was sending back a wrong tuple as state: {name, state}
@bemesa21 I ended up updating the example before I saw your PR, however I used a plain Supervisor instead of a DynamicSupervisor. In this case I think Supervisor is correct because a new supervisor process is being spawned somewhere on the cluster, supervising a worker that is (or may be) transient. But I might be missing something... is there a reason you went for the DynamicSupervisor?
Here's my version, including your fix for {:swarm, :end_handoff, state}:
defmodule MyApp.Supervisor do
use Supervisor
def start_link(name) do
Supervisor.start_link(__MODULE__, name, name: name)
end
def init(name) do
children = [
{MyApp.Worker, [name]}
]
Supervisor.init(children, strategy: :one_for_one)
end
end
defmodule MyApp.Worker do
use GenServer, restart: :transient
@moduledoc """
This is the worker process, in this case, it simply posts on a
random recurring interval to stdout.
"""
def start_link(name) do
GenServer.start_link(__MODULE__, [name])
end
def init([name]) do
{:ok, {name, :rand.uniform(5_000)}, 0}
end
# called when a handoff has been initiated due to changes
# in cluster topology, valid response values are:
#
# - `:restart`, to simply restart the process on the new node
# - `{:resume, state}`, to hand off some state to the new process
# - `:ignore`, to leave the process running on its current node
#
def handle_call({:swarm, :begin_handoff}, _from, {name, delay}) do
{:reply, {:resume, delay}, {name, delay}}
end
# called after the process has been restarted on its new node,
# and the old process' state is being handed off. This is only
# sent if the return to `begin_handoff` was `{:resume, state}`.
# **NOTE**: This is called *after* the process is successfully started,
# so make sure to design your processes around this caveat if you
# wish to hand off state like this.
def handle_cast({:swarm, :end_handoff, {name, delay}}, _state) do
{:noreply, {name, delay}}
end
# called when a network split is healed and the local process
# should continue running, but a duplicate process on the other
# side of the split is handing off its state to us. You can choose
# to ignore the handoff state, or apply your own conflict resolution
# strategy
def handle_cast({:swarm, :resolve_conflict, _delay}, state) do
{:noreply, state}
end
def handle_info(:timeout, {name, delay}) do
IO.puts("#{inspect(name)} says hi!")
Process.send_after(self(), :timeout, delay)
{:noreply, {name, delay}}
end
# this message is sent when this process should die
# because it is being moved, use this as an opportunity
# to clean up
def handle_info({:swarm, :die}, state) do
{:stop, :shutdown, state}
end
