# workgroups
Package workgroups is a little helper for creating workers
with the help of [sync.Errgroup](https://pkg.go.dev/golang.org/x/sync/errgroup).

## Variables
ErrInWorker is an error that gets returned if there is a error
in the work function.
```golang
var ErrInWorker = errors.New("received error in worker")
```
## Types
### type [Dispatcher](/workgroups.go#L52)
`type Dispatcher struct { ... }`
Dispatcher carries the job queue, the errgroup and the number of workers
to start.
#### func (*Dispatcher) [Append](/workgroups.go#L102)
`func (d *Dispatcher) Append(job Job)`
Append adds a job to the work queue.
#### func (*Dispatcher) [Close](/workgroups.go#L108)
`func (d *Dispatcher) Close()`
Close closes the queue channel.
#### func (*Dispatcher) [Start](/workgroups.go#L71)
`func (d *Dispatcher) Start()`
Start starts the configured number of workers and waits for jobs.
#### func (*Dispatcher) [Wait](/workgroups.go#L114)
`func (d *Dispatcher) Wait() error`
Wait for all jobs to finnish.
### type [Job](/workgroups.go#L40)
`type Job struct { ... }`
Job carries a job with everything it needs.
I know know that contexts shouldnt be stored in a struct.
Here is an exception, because its a short living object.
The context is only used as argument for the Work function.
Please use the NewJob function to get around this context in struct shenanigans.
### type [Work](/workgroups.go#L33)
`type Work func(ctx context.Context) error`
Work is a type that defines worker work.
## Examples
```golang
package main
import (
"context"
"fmt"
"go.xsfx.dev/workgroups"
"log"
"runtime"
)
func main() {
d, ctx := workgroups.NewDispatcher(
context.Background(),
runtime.GOMAXPROCS(0), // This starts as much worker as maximal processes are allowed for go.
)
work := func(ctx context.Context) error {
// Check if context already expired.
// Return if its the case, else just go forward.
select {
case <-ctx.Done():
return fmt.Errorf("got error from context: %w", ctx.Err())
default:
}
// Some wannebe work... printing something.
fmt.Print("hello world from work")
return nil
}
// Starting up the workers.
d.Start()
// Feeding the workers some work.
d.Append(workgroups.NewJob(ctx, work))
// Closing the channel for work.
d.Close()
// Waiting to finnish everything.
if err := d.Wait(); err != nil {
log.Fatal(err)
}
}
```
Output:
```
hello world from work
```
