Currently, I register a GenServer process with a unique name in a local register when invoking a start_link/1 function part of it’s API as follows:
def start_link(%{name: lobby_id, visibility: visibility}) do
via_name = {
:via,
Registry,
{LobbyRegistry, lobby_id}
}
GenServer.start_link(__MODULE__, %{name: lobby_id, visibility: visibility}, [name: via_name])
end
In some cases, I would like to register it both via its unique lobby_id as key, but also via another key used by the registry to identify a particular lobby process. It seems one possibility is to register it later on, e.g. in its init/1 callback using Registry.register/3, but I was wondering if its possible to register the process under both keys at the same time, in the above-mentioned start_link/1. If both are possible, is there any reason to prefer one over the other? Any other, better, solutions?

It is not possible to do two keys in the
start_linkcall, you’ll need to do it insideinit.pavanputhra
@benwilson512 If registered directly using
Registry.register/3will the key be removed when process is killed?LostKobrakai
Yes. Keys of any registered processes are removed once the processes stop. That’s unrelated to how they became successfully registered.
