EtsOwner

A simple GenServer that owns your ETS tables and won't die, even if you do.

Installation

The package can be installed as:

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

   def deps do

    [{:ets_owner, "~> 1.0"}]

   end

2. Ensure ets_owner is started before your application:

   def application do

    [applications: [:ets_owner]]

   end

Usage

iex> EtsOwner.create_table(MyTable, :set)
MyTable
...> :ets.insert(MyTable, {:my, "awesome", 'data'})
true

Now your code is free to make calls against :ets, and because your process is not the :ets table owner, your data will not be lost during a crash.
