# logic-lock [MySQL logic locks](https://dev.mysql.com/doc/refman/5.7/en/locking-functions.html#function_get-lock) implemented over sea-orm ## Locking `Lock::build` takes a key, any owned connection, so it can be a `sea-orm::DatabaseConnection`, a `sea-orm::DatabaseTransaction` or another `Lock` himself, and an optional timeout in seconds, defaulting to 1 second.
In case of error, the owned connection is returned alongside the database error, if any, this way the connection isn't automatically dropped.
`Lock` himself acts as a connection, so you can use it everywhere you would have used the original connection. ```rust let lock = logic_lock::Lock::build("my_lock_key", conn, None).await.unwrap(); ``` ## Unlocking Since MySQL logic locks lives in the session, not in a transaction like table locks, a not-dropped lock will live as long as the connection, and if a connection is part of a connection pool, this can be a really long time.
To release a `Lock` simply use the `Lock::release` method.
On success it will return the original connection, on error it will return the `Lock` himself alongside with the database error, if any. ```rust let conn = lock.release().await.unwrap(); ``` ## Drop Dropping a locked `Lock` will log an error.
It has been chosen to not panic to avoid cases of panic-while-panicking.
