neon 1.1.1

//! Thread-local storage for JavaScript threads.
//!
//! At runtime, an instance of a Node.js addon can contain its own local storage,
//! which can then be shared and accessed as needed from Rust in a Neon module. This can
//! be useful for setting up long-lived state that needs to be shared between calls
//! of an addon's APIs.
//!
//! For example, an addon may wish to track the [thread ID][threadId] of each of its
//! instances:
//!
//! ```
//! # use neon::prelude::*;
//! # use neon::thread::LocalKey;
//! static THREAD_ID: LocalKey<u32> = LocalKey::new();
//!
//! pub fn thread_id(cx: &mut Cx) -> NeonResult<u32> {
//!     THREAD_ID.get_or_try_init(cx, |cx| {
//!         let require: Handle<JsFunction> = cx.global("require")?;
//!         let worker: Handle<JsObject> = require
//!             .bind(cx)
//!             .arg("node:worker_threads")?
//!             .call()?;
//!         let thread_id: f64 = worker.prop(cx, "threadId").get()?;
//!         Ok(thread_id as u32)
//!     }).cloned()
//! }
//! ```
//!
//! ### The Addon Lifecycle
//!
//! For some use cases, a single shared global constant stored in a `static` variable
//! might be sufficient:
//!
//! ```
//! static MY_CONSTANT: &'static str = "hello Neon";
//! ```
//!
//! This variable will be allocated when the addon is first loaded into the Node.js
//! process. This works fine for single-threaded applications, or global thread-safe
//! data.
//!
//! However, since the addition of [worker threads][workers] in Node v10,
//! modules can be instantiated multiple times in a single Node process. So even
//! though the dynamically-loaded binary library (i.e., the Rust implementation of
//! the addon) is only loaded once in the running process, its [`#[main]`](crate::main)
//! function can be executed multiple times with distinct module objects, one per application
//! thread:
//!
//! ![The Node.js addon lifecycle, described in detail below.][lifecycle]
//!
//! This means that any thread-local data needs to be initialized separately for each
//! instance of the addon. This module provides a simple container type, [`LocalKey`],
//! for allocating and initializing thread-local data. (Technically, this data is stored in the
//! addon's [module instance][environment], which is equivalent to being thread-local.)
//!
//! A common example is when an addon needs to maintain a reference to a JavaScript value. A
//! reference can be [rooted](crate::handle::Root) and stored in a static, but references cannot
//! be used across separate threads. By placing the reference in thread-local storage, an
//! addon can ensure that each thread stores its own distinct reference:
//!
//! ```
//! # use neon::prelude::*;
//! # use neon::thread::LocalKey;
//! # fn initialize_my_datatype<'cx, C: Context<'cx>>(cx: &mut C) -> JsResult<'cx, JsFunction> { unimplemented!() }
//! static MY_CONSTRUCTOR: LocalKey<Root<JsFunction>> = LocalKey::new();
//!
//! pub fn my_constructor<'cx, C: Context<'cx>>(cx: &mut C) -> JsResult<'cx, JsFunction> {
//!     let constructor = MY_CONSTRUCTOR.get_or_try_init(cx, |cx| {
//!         let constructor: Handle<JsFunction> = initialize_my_datatype(cx)?;
//!         Ok(constructor.root(cx))
//!     })?;
//!     Ok(constructor.to_inner(cx))
//! }
//! ```
//!
//! Notice that if this code were implemented without a `LocalKey`, it would panic whenever
//! one thread stores an instance of the constructor and a different thread attempts to
//! access it with the call to [`to_inner()`](crate::handle::Root::to_inner).
//!
//! ### When to Use Thread-Local Storage
//!
//! Single-threaded applications don't generally need to worry about thread-local data.
//! There are two cases where Neon apps should consider storing static data in a
//! `LocalKey` storage cell:
//!
//! - **Multi-threaded applications:** If your Node application uses the `Worker`
//!   API, you'll want to store any static data that might get access from multiple
//!   threads in thread-local data.
//! - **Libraries:** If your addon is part of a library that could be used by multiple
//!   applications, you'll want to store static data in thread-local data in case the
//!   addon ends up instantiated by multiple threads in some future application.
//!
//! ### Why Not Use Standard TLS?
//!
//! Since the JavaScript engine may not tie JavaScript threads 1:1 to system threads,
//! it is recommended to use this module instead of the Rust standard thread-local storage
//! when associating data with a JavaScript thread.

/// terminates on process exit.
