Blocking Dequeue & Peek functions
Kriechi opened this issue · 1 comments
The existing Dequeue()
and Peek()
functions simply return an ErrEmpty
error if no items are in the queue.
I found myself trying to replace a go channel with dque, but was missing a proper blocking Dequeue
function that only returns once at least one item is available.
Any thoughts on accepting such a feature request / PR?
I was wanting to implement that, but never got to it. That would be great if you submit a PR for a blocking Dequeue(). Suggest a name you think works best with common nomenclature for queues, maybe DequeueWait() or DequeueBlock()? Just throwing those out there. Go channels do not have a peek option, so maybe peek doesn't need a blocking option? But if you have a use-case for a blocking peek then I'd be OK with adding it too. I try to avoid implementing things without a real-life use-case.
