Registry.lookup
You're seeing just the function
lookup
, go back to Registry module for more information.
Specs
Finds the {pid, value}
pair for the given key
in registry
in no particular order.
An empty list if there is no match.
For unique registries, a single partition lookup is necessary. For duplicate registries, all partitions must be looked up.
Examples
In the example below we register the current process and look it up both from itself and other processes:
iex> Registry.start_link(keys: :unique, name: Registry.UniqueLookupTest)
iex> Registry.lookup(Registry.UniqueLookupTest, "hello")
[]
iex> {:ok, _} = Registry.register(Registry.UniqueLookupTest, "hello", :world)
iex> Registry.lookup(Registry.UniqueLookupTest, "hello")
[{self(), :world}]
iex> Task.async(fn -> Registry.lookup(Registry.UniqueLookupTest, "hello") end) |> Task.await()
[{self(), :world}]
The same applies to duplicate registries:
iex> Registry.start_link(keys: :duplicate, name: Registry.DuplicateLookupTest)
iex> Registry.lookup(Registry.DuplicateLookupTest, "hello")
[]
iex> {:ok, _} = Registry.register(Registry.DuplicateLookupTest, "hello", :world)
iex> Registry.lookup(Registry.DuplicateLookupTest, "hello")
[{self(), :world}]
iex> {:ok, _} = Registry.register(Registry.DuplicateLookupTest, "hello", :another)
iex> Enum.sort(Registry.lookup(Registry.DuplicateLookupTest, "hello"))
[{self(), :another}, {self(), :world}]
