Together

Group actions that need to be performed later together

What for?

group notifications before sending an email about them
only sending the very last value of a fast changing entity (renew: true)
only using the very first value of a changing entity in every fixed period (renew: false)

The package can be installed as:

Add together to your list of dependencies in mix.exs:

def deps do
  [{:together, "~> 0.1.0"}]
end

Start a Together.Worker to use it

You can start it by adding a worker to your app's supervision tree

worker(Together.Worker, [[delay: 3000, renew: true], [name: Together.Worker]])

Or start it as you would any other GenServer

{:ok, pid} = Together.Worker.start_link(delay: 300, renew: true)

Make calls to the worker process:

Together.process(pid, "some_unique_name_or_id", a_function)
Together.process(pid, "id", Module, :func, [arg1, arg2, ...])
Together.process("something", some_func) you can omit the pid if the server is started with name Together.Worker
