glow is a simple package that provides a framework for dataflow-like programming in go. Nodes are implemented as go functions, and are connected by channels.
Nodes are implemented by functions. The first argument to all nodes in a graph is the graph's globals. Additional arguments must be channels for input and output. By convention these channels have either "In" or "Out" as a suffix.
func ExampleNode(gl *Globals, StrIn, StrOut chan string) {
// Some code here....
}A graph consists of a series of nodes that are connected by channels.
g := glow.NewGraph(&globals)
// Add nodes.
g.AddNode(ExampleNode, "Node1", "StrIn", "StrOut")
g.AddNode(SomeOtherNode, "Node2", "StrIn")
// Make connections.
g.Connect(1, "Node1:StrOut", "Node2:StrIn")
// Print dot file string.
fmt.Println(g.DotString())
// Set a foreground node.
g.SetForeground("Node2")
// Run.
g.Run()
