Golang like Context

[corporatepiyush]

Is there an equivalent to Golang's context ?

Correct me if I'm wrong but shouldn't Context be a package in itself that depends on channels (js-csp)? Also I feel that we're already biting off more than we can chew here.

I enjoyed reading the docs. Interesting concept...

@corporatepiyush Curious to know if you have a use case or you're just sharing?

Its not a feature request, just a question since I didnt find any context based libs based on js-csp. I was wondering if I were to use this library (over Golang) for writing complex business logic
how would I cope with keeping context across many goroutines

As you would have realized from Context package doc link, its pretty much useful to maintain context across a given request flow consisting of goroutine execution in sequence or in parallel and take decision like exception handling, execution cancellation etc.

But more than anything I was more concerned about error handling and making use of Context like feature or some external lib (if exists one).

I am definitely not an expert on this one, but without Golang like Context it's pretty hard to achieve.
Dean Wampler has a nice presentation about this one.

Really great content there.. especially comparison with the actor model. Thanks for sharing.

We use context in a go project and it's basically an immutable data structure that knows when it expires. I agree with @gt3 , it should be it's own package that uses channels.
