The very simple :ets wrapper simplifying cross-process :ets handling (like Agent, but :ets.)

NimbleETS is a very thin simple ETS wrapper, simplifying the trivial usage of ETS as key-value store. It is not intended to replicate :ets module functionality by any mean. It might be used as a drop-in to avoid process-based Agent as key-value store. It exposes only CRUD functionality of ETS, alongside with Access behaviour.

defmodule MyApp.MyModuleBackedByTable do
  use NimbleETS
end
MyApp.MyModuleBackedByTable.ets_put(:foo, 42)
MyApp.MyModuleBackedByTable.ets_get(:foo)
#⇒ 42

MyApp.MyModuleBackedByTable.ets_del(:foo)
MyApp.MyModuleBackedByTable.ets_get(:foo, :bar)
#⇒ :bar

Hmm, Nimble* projects in the elixir ecosystem generally mean things that are the fastest possible implementation of something, how does this make ETS operations faster?

Maybe call it EasyEts ? I think that captures what you’re going for better than the Nimble prefix.

The package was renamed to EasyETS, thank you all.

The backing process is planned in 0.2.

My goal is to bring the operational semantics to be more or less the same as Agent has in the forthcoming updates. I posted the very alpha version to gather advises and thanks I received all I wanted.

Yes, thank you, I came to the exactly same name. All done.


FWIW, I retired NimbleETS at HexDocs.

It is not really an agent though. It is the same API, but the operational semantics are very different. For example, agents should be supervised.
