Double Under

Double Under is a node.js utility that allows for shared objects between different node processes and machines. It is backed by redis using a pub/sub channel.

It is simple and fun to use.

var __ = require('double-under');
 
// configure redis host before using
__.configure({
  host: 'localhost'
});
 
// variables are shared based on namespace
var foo = __('foo');
 
foo.set('double', 'decker');
// baz is now propogated to every
// process on every machine
 
// you only have to use set the first time
foo.double = 'under'; // this works
 

TODO

• Add mutexes/semaphores or something to prevent race conditions.

• Add atomic pop/push for arrays.

• Allow atomic update of fields in sub objects.

• Add expire option

• Add a test suite.
