defmodule EQC.Pulse.Supervisor.Spec do
@compile {:parse_transform, :pulse_instrument}
@moduledoc """
Convenience functions for defining a supervision specification.
## Example
By using the functions in this module one can define a supervisor
and start it with `Supervisor.start_link/2`:
import Supervisor.Spec
children = [
worker(MyWorker, [arg1, arg2, arg3]),
supervisor(MySupervisor, [arg1])
]
Supervisor.start_link(children, strategy: :one_for_one)
In many situations, it may be handy to define supervisors backed
by a module:
defmodule MySupervisor do
use Supervisor
def start_link(arg) do
Supervisor.start_link(__MODULE__, arg)
end
def init(arg) do
children = [
worker(MyWorker, [arg], restart: :temporary)
]
supervise(children, strategy: :simple_one_for_one)
end
end
Notice in this case we don't have to explicitly import
`Supervisor.Spec` as `use Supervisor` automatically does so.
Explicit supervisors as above are required when there is a need to:
1. Partially change the supervision tree during hot-code swaps.
2. Define supervisors inside other supervisors.
3. Perform actions inside the supervision `init/1` callback.
For example, you may want to start an ETS table that is linked to
the supervisor (i.e. if the supervision tree needs to be restarted,
the ETS table must be restarted too).
## Supervisor and worker options
In the example above, we have defined workers and supervisors
and each accepts the following options:
* `:id` - a name used to identify the child specification
internally by the supervisor; defaults to the given module
name
* `:function` - the function to invoke on the child to start it
* `:restart` - defines when the child process should restart
* `:shutdown` - defines how a child process should be terminated
* `:modules` - it should be a list with one element `[module]`,
where module is the name of the callback module only if the
child process is a `Supervisor` or `GenServer`; if the child
process is a `GenEvent`, modules should be `:dynamic`
### Restart values (:restart)
The following restart values are supported:
* `:permanent` - the child process is always restarted
* `:temporary` - the child process is never restarted (not even
when the supervisor's strategy is `:rest_for_one` or `:one_for_all`)
* `:transient` - the child process is restarted only if it
terminates abnormally, i.e. with another exit reason than
`:normal`, `:shutdown` or `{:shutdown, term}`
### Shutdown values (:shutdown)
The following shutdown values are supported:
* `:brutal_kill` - the child process is unconditionally terminated
using `exit(child, :kill)`.
* `:infinity` - if the child process is a supervisor, it is a mechanism
to give the subtree enough time to shutdown. It can also be used with
workers with care.
* Finally, it can also be any integer meaning that the supervisor tells
the child process to terminate by calling `Process.exit(child, :shutdown)`
and then waits for an exit signal back. If no exit signal is received
within the specified time (in miliseconds), the child process is
unconditionally terminated using `Process.exit(child, :kill)`.

Receives a list of children (workers or supervisors) to
supervise and a set of options.
Returns a tuple containing the supervisor specification.
## Examples
supervise children, strategy: :one_for_one
## Options
* `:strategy` - the restart strategy option. It can be either
`:one_for_one`, `:rest_for_one`, `:one_for_all`, or
`:simple_one_for_one`. You can learn more about strategies
in the `Supervisor` module docs.
* `:max_restarts` - the maximum amount of restarts allowed in
a time frame. Defaults to 3.
* `:max_seconds` - the time frame in which `:max_restarts` applies.
Defaults to 5.
The `:strategy` option is required and by default maximum 3 restarts
are allowed within 5 seconds. Please check the `Supervisor` module for
a complete description of the available strategies.
