synchronized-loading

Synchronized loading

This example implements a shared phone book component. The component will not load data until the first lookup request happens. When it starts to load data, it ensures the loading will run only once.

The component is implemented using lazy-loading pattern with the use of napa.sync.Lock.

How to run

1. Go to directory of "examples/tutorial/synchronized-loading"
2. Run "npm install" to install napajs
3. Run "node synchronized-loading.js"
