A special type that mimics the behavior of a channel but does not block when items are sent.
- Send items without ever worrying that the send will block
- Check how many items are waiting to be received
- Synchronized access to members - use it from any goroutine
To use the package, add the following import:
import "github.com/hectane/go-nonblockingchan"
Use the New() function to create a new instance:
c := nbc.New()
To send an item on the channel, use the Send field:
c.Send <- true
Sending will always succeed immediately. The item will be added to an internal buffer until it is received:
v, ok := <-c.Recv
if ok {
// value was received
} else {
// channel was closed
}
