Primary API

`lock()`

Auto-managed distributed lock with retry logic and automatic release.

typescript

function lock<T>(
  fn: () => Promise<T> | T,
  config: LockConfig & { acquisition?: AcquisitionOptions },
): Promise<T>;

Usage:

typescript

import { lock } from "syncguard";

// Basic usage
await lock(
  async () => {
    // Critical section
  },
  { key: "resource:123" },
);

// With configuration
await lock(workFn, {
  key: "job:daily-report",
  ttlMs: 60000, // Lock expires after 60s
  timeoutMs: 10000, // Give up acquisition after 10s
  maxRetries: 20, // Retry up to 20 times
});

Behavior:

Acquires lock with automatic retry (exponential backoff with jitter)
Executes function after successful acquisition
Releases lock in finally block (even if function throws)
Throws LockError if acquisition times out or encounters system errors
Function errors propagate normally (not masked by release errors)

See Core Concepts for retry configuration details.

`createLock()` syncguard/redis syncguard/firestore

Factory for backend-specific auto-managed lock functions.

RedisFirestore

typescript

import { createLock } from "syncguard/redis";
import Redis from "ioredis";

const redis = new Redis();
const lock = createLock(redis, {
  keyPrefix: "my-app", // Default: "syncguard"
});

await lock(workFn, { key: "resource:123" });

typescript

import { createLock } from "syncguard/firestore";
import { Firestore } from "@google-cloud/firestore";

const db = new Firestore();
const lock = createLock(db, {
  collection: "app_locks", // Default: "locks"
  fenceCollection: "app_fences", // Default: "fence_counters"
});

await lock(workFn, { key: "resource:123" });

When to use: Configure backend once, reuse lock function across your application.

Backend Interface

For manual lock control with custom retry logic or long-running tasks.

`createRedisBackend()` syncguard/redis

typescript

import { createRedisBackend } from "syncguard/redis";
import Redis from "ioredis";

const redis = new Redis();
const backend = createRedisBackend(redis, {
  keyPrefix: "syncguard",
  cleanupInIsLocked: false,
});

See Redis Backend for configuration details.

`createFirestoreBackend()` syncguard/firestore

typescript

import { createFirestoreBackend } from "syncguard/firestore";
import { Firestore } from "@google-cloud/firestore";

const db = new Firestore();
const backend = createFirestoreBackend(db, {
  collection: "locks",
  fenceCollection: "fence_counters",
  cleanupInIsLocked: false,
});

Index Required

Firestore requires a single-field ascending index on the lockId field for optimal performance. See Firestore Backend for details.

`backend.acquire()`

Request exclusive lock on a resource.

typescript

acquire(opts: {
  key: string;
  ttlMs: number;
  signal?: AbortSignal;
}): Promise<AcquireResult<C>>;

Usage:

typescript

const result = await backend.acquire({
  key: "payment:123",
  ttlMs: 30000, // Lock expires after 30s
});

if (result.ok) {
  const { lockId, expiresAtMs, fence } = result;
  // You now hold the lock
} else {
  // result.reason === "locked" (another process holds it)
}

Returns:

Success: { ok: true, lockId, expiresAtMs, fence }
Contention: { ok: false, reason: "locked" }
System errors throw LockError

Notes:

Single-attempt operation (no automatic retry)
fence is guaranteed present for Redis/Firestore backends (compile-time type safety)
lockId is required for all subsequent operations (release, extend, lookup)

See Fencing Tokens for fence token usage patterns.

`backend.release()`

Release lock ownership.

typescript

release(opts: {
  lockId: string;
  signal?: AbortSignal;
}): Promise<ReleaseResult>;

Usage:

typescript

const released = await backend.release({ lockId });

if (released.ok) {
  // Lock successfully released
} else {
  // Lock was already expired/released
}

Returns:

Success: { ok: true }
Failure: { ok: false } (lock was expired, not found, or ownership mismatch)
System errors throw LockError

Notes:

Idempotent: safe to call even if lock is expired/released
Only the owner (matching lockId) can release
Failed release means lock was absent (expired or never existed)

`backend.extend()`

Extend lock TTL before expiration.

typescript

extend(opts: {
  lockId: string;
  ttlMs: number;
  signal?: AbortSignal;
}): Promise<ExtendResult>;

Usage:

typescript

const extended = await backend.extend({
  lockId,
  ttlMs: 60000, // Reset to 60s from now
});

if (extended.ok) {
  console.log(`Lock now expires at ${new Date(extended.expiresAtMs)}`);
} else {
  console.log("Lost lock ownership");
}

Returns:

Success: { ok: true, expiresAtMs } (new expiration time)
Failure: { ok: false } (lock was expired or not found)
System errors throw LockError

Notes:

Replaces TTL entirely (doesn't add to remaining time)
Returns expiresAtMs for heartbeat scheduling
Cannot resurrect expired locks (use acquire() instead)
Idempotent: safe to call even if lock is expired

TTL Replacement

extend({ lockId, ttlMs: 60000 }) sets expiration to 60s from now, not from the original acquisition. See Core Concepts.

`backend.isLocked()`

Check if resource is currently locked (simple boolean).

typescript

isLocked(opts: {
  key: string;
  signal?: AbortSignal;
}): Promise<boolean>;

Usage:

typescript

const locked = await backend.isLocked({ key: "resource:123" });

if (locked) {
  console.log("Resource is locked by someone");
} else {
  console.log("Resource is available");
}

Returns:

true if actively locked
false if not locked or expired

Notes:

Read-only operation (no side effects)
Does not reveal lock owner or expiration time
For detailed info, use backend.lookup() or getByKey() helper

`backend.lookup()`

Lower-level diagnostic method for detailed lock information.

typescript

// By key (O(1) direct access)
lookup(opts: { key: string; signal?: AbortSignal }): Promise<LockInfo<C> | null>;

// By lockId (reverse lookup + verification)
lookup(opts: { lockId: string; signal?: AbortSignal }): Promise<LockInfo<C> | null>;

Prefer Helper Functions

For better discoverability and clearer intent, use the diagnostic helpers instead: getByKey(), getById(), and owns(). These provide a more ergonomic API while calling lookup() internally. See Diagnostics & Helpers for recommended usage patterns.

Usage:

typescript

// Check resource status
const info = await backend.lookup({ key: "resource:123" });
if (info) {
  console.log(`Expires at ${new Date(info.expiresAtMs)}`);
  console.log(`Fence: ${info.fence}`);
}

// Check ownership
const owned = await backend.lookup({ lockId });
if (owned) {
  console.log("Still own the lock");
}

Returns:

LockInfo<C> if lock exists and is not expired
null if not found or expired (no distinction)

Notes:

Returns sanitized data (hashed keys/lockIds)
For raw data access, use getByKeyRaw() or getByIdRaw() helpers
Read-only operation (no side effects)
Includes fence for fencing-capable backends
Atomicity: Redis uses atomic Lua scripts for lockId lookup (multi-key reads); Firestore uses non-atomic indexed queries with post-read verification (per ADR-011, both approaches ensure portability for diagnostic use)

Diagnostic Use Only

Lookup is for diagnostics, UI, and monitoring — NOT a correctness guard. Never use lookup() → mutate patterns. Correctness relies on atomic ownership verification built into release() and extend() operations (ADR-003).

`backend.capabilities`

Backend capability introspection.

typescript

interface BackendCapabilities {
  supportsFencing: boolean;
  timeAuthority: "server" | "client";
}

Usage:

typescript

const backend = createRedisBackend(redis);

console.log(backend.capabilities.supportsFencing); // true (Redis always provides fences)
console.log(backend.capabilities.timeAuthority); // "server" (Redis uses server time)

Redis: { supportsFencing: true, timeAuthority: "server" }Firestore: { supportsFencing: true, timeAuthority: "client" }

Result Types

`AcquireResult<C>`

Discriminated union for acquisition outcomes.

typescript

type AcquireResult<C extends BackendCapabilities> =
  | {
      ok: true;
      lockId: string;
      expiresAtMs: number;
      fence: Fence; // Required when C['supportsFencing'] === true
    }
  | {
      ok: false;
      reason: "locked";
    };

Pattern matching:

typescript

const result = await backend.acquire({ key: "resource:123", ttlMs: 30000 });

if (result.ok) {
  // TypeScript knows: lockId, expiresAtMs, fence are available
  const { lockId, fence } = result;
} else {
  // TypeScript knows: reason is "locked"
  console.log("Contention:", result.reason);
}

`ReleaseResult`

Simple success/failure result.

typescript

type ReleaseResult = { ok: true } | { ok: false };

Interpretation:

{ ok: true }: Lock successfully released
{ ok: false }: Lock was absent (expired or never existed)

`ExtendResult`

Extension result with new expiration time.

typescript

type ExtendResult = { ok: true; expiresAtMs: number } | { ok: false };

Usage:

typescript

const extended = await backend.extend({ lockId, ttlMs: 60000 });

if (extended.ok) {
  // Schedule next heartbeat based on new expiration
  const nextHeartbeat = extended.expiresAtMs - Date.now() - 5000;
}

`LockInfo<C>`

Sanitized lock information (returned by lookup()).

typescript

type LockInfo<C extends BackendCapabilities> = {
  keyHash: HashId; // SHA-256 hash (24 hex chars)
  lockIdHash: HashId;
  expiresAtMs: number; // Unix timestamp
  acquiredAtMs: number;
  fence: Fence; // Required when C['supportsFencing'] === true
};

Security note: lookup() returns hashed identifiers to prevent accidental logging of sensitive keys/lockIds. For debugging, use getByKeyRaw() or getByIdRaw().

`LockInfoDebug<C>`

Extended lock info with raw keys/lockIds (via getByKeyRaw()/getByIdRaw() helpers).

typescript

interface LockInfoDebug<C extends BackendCapabilities> extends LockInfo<C> {
  key: string; // Raw key (use in dev/debug only)
  lockId: string; // Raw lockId
}

`Fence`

Fencing token type (15-digit zero-padded string per ADR-004).

typescript

type Fence = string; // e.g., "000000000000001"

Properties:

Lexicographic ordering matches chronological order
Direct string comparison works: fenceA > fenceB
JSON-safe (no BigInt precision issues)
Cross-backend consistent format (15 digits)
Guarantees full safety within Lua's 53-bit precision (2^53-1 ≈ 9.007e15)

Usage:

typescript

const fences = ["000000000000003", "000000000000001"];
const sorted = fences.sort(); // ["000000000000001", "000000000000003"] - lexicographic = chronological

if (newFence > storedFence) {
  // Accept write from newer lock holder
}

See Fencing Tokens for complete usage guide.

Configuration

`LockConfig`

Configuration for lock() function.

typescript

interface LockConfig {
  key: string; // Required: unique lock identifier
  ttlMs?: number; // Lock expiration (default: 30000ms)
  signal?: AbortSignal; // Cancel in-flight operations
  onReleaseError?: (
    error: Error,
    context: { lockId: string; key: string },
  ) => void;
  acquisition?: AcquisitionOptions; // Retry strategy
}

Example:

typescript

await lock(workFn, {
  key: "job:daily-report",
  ttlMs: 60000,
  timeoutMs: 10000,
  maxRetries: 20,
  onReleaseError: (err, ctx) => {
    console.error(`Failed to release ${ctx.key}:`, err);
  },
});

Fields:

Field	Type	Default	Description
`key`	`string`	(required)	Unique lock identifier (max 512 bytes)
`ttlMs`	`number`	`30000`	Lock expiration in milliseconds
`signal`	`AbortSignal`	`undefined`	Cancel lock operations
`onReleaseError`	`function`	`undefined`	Handle release errors (optional)
`acquisition`	`AcquisitionOptions`	See below	Retry strategy

`AcquisitionOptions`

Retry strategy for lock acquisition.

typescript

interface AcquisitionOptions {
  maxRetries?: number; // Default: 10
  retryDelayMs?: number; // Base delay, default: 100ms
  backoff?: "exponential" | "fixed"; // Default: "exponential"
  jitter?: "equal" | "full" | "none"; // Default: "equal"
  timeoutMs?: number; // Hard limit, default: 5000ms
  signal?: AbortSignal; // Abort acquisition loop
}

Defaults:

typescript

{
  maxRetries: 10,
  retryDelayMs: 100,
  backoff: "exponential",
  jitter: "equal",
  timeoutMs: 5000
}

Example:

typescript

// More patient (high contention tolerance)
await lock(workFn, {
  key: "hot-resource",
  acquisition: {
    maxRetries: 20,
    timeoutMs: 10000,
  },
});

// Fail fast
await lock(workFn, {
  key: "quick-check",
  acquisition: {
    maxRetries: 3,
    timeoutMs: 1000,
  },
});

See Core Concepts for retry behavior details.

Backend Options

`RedisBackendOptions` syncguard/redis

typescript

interface RedisBackendOptions {
  keyPrefix?: string; // Default: "syncguard"
  cleanupInIsLocked?: boolean; // Default: false
}

Usage:

typescript

const backend = createRedisBackend(redis, {
  keyPrefix: "my-app", // Keys: "my-app:resource:123"
  cleanupInIsLocked: true, // Optional cleanup in isLocked()
});

See Redis Backend for details.

`FirestoreBackendOptions` syncguard/firestore

typescript

interface FirestoreBackendOptions {
  collection?: string; // Default: "locks"
  fenceCollection?: string; // Default: "fence_counters"
  cleanupInIsLocked?: boolean; // Default: false
}

Usage:

typescript

const backend = createFirestoreBackend(db, {
  collection: "app_locks",
  fenceCollection: "app_fences",
  cleanupInIsLocked: true, // Optional cleanup in isLocked()
});

See Firestore Backend for details.

Diagnostics & Helpers

Recommended diagnostic API — These helper functions provide the most ergonomic way to inspect lock state. They offer better discoverability and clearer intent than calling backend.lookup() directly.

`getByKey()`

Lookup lock by resource key (sanitized data). Primary method for checking resource lock status.

typescript

function getByKey<C extends BackendCapabilities>(
  backend: LockBackend<C>,
  key: string,
  opts?: { signal?: AbortSignal },
): Promise<LockInfo<C> | null>;

Usage:

typescript

import { getByKey } from "syncguard";

const info = await getByKey(backend, "resource:123");
if (info) {
  console.log(`Lock expires in ${info.expiresAtMs - Date.now()}ms`);
  console.log(`Fence: ${info.fence}`);
} else {
  console.log("Resource is not locked");
}

Use this when: You need to check if a resource is locked and get detailed information about the lock holder.

`getById()`

Lookup lock by lockId (sanitized data). Primary method for checking lock ownership.

typescript

function getById<C extends BackendCapabilities>(
  backend: LockBackend<C>,
  lockId: string,
  opts?: { signal?: AbortSignal },
): Promise<LockInfo<C> | null>;

Usage:

typescript

import { getById } from "syncguard";

const info = await getById(backend, lockId);
if (info) {
  console.log("Own the lock, fence:", info.fence);
  console.log(`Expires in ${info.expiresAtMs - Date.now()}ms`);
} else {
  console.log("No longer own the lock");
}

Use this when: You need detailed information about a lock you're holding, including expiration time and fence tokens.

`owns()`

Quick boolean ownership check. Simplified method for yes/no ownership questions.

typescript

function owns<C extends BackendCapabilities>(
  backend: LockBackend<C>,
  lockId: string,
): Promise<boolean>;

Diagnostic Use Only

This is for diagnostics, UI, and monitoring — NOT a correctness guard. Never use owns() → mutate patterns. Correctness relies on atomic ownership verification built into release() and extend() operations (ADR-003).

Usage:

typescript

import { owns } from "syncguard";

if (await owns(backend, lockId)) {
  console.log("Still own the lock");
} else {
  console.log("Lost ownership");
}

Use this when: You only need a boolean answer about ownership and don't need additional details.

Equivalent to: !!(await backend.lookup({ lockId }))

Lower-Level Access

These helpers call backend.lookup() internally. For advanced use cases requiring direct access to the backend method, you can use backend.lookup({ key }) or backend.lookup({ lockId }) directly.

`getByKeyRaw()`

Lookup lock by key with raw identifiers (debugging).

typescript

function getByKeyRaw<C extends BackendCapabilities>(
  backend: LockBackend<C>,
  key: string,
  opts?: { signal?: AbortSignal },
): Promise<LockInfoDebug<C> | null>;

Usage:

typescript

import { getByKeyRaw } from "syncguard";

const debug = await getByKeyRaw(backend, "resource:123");
if (debug) {
  console.log("Raw key:", debug.key); // Original key
  console.log("Raw lockId:", debug.lockId); // Original lockId
}

Security

Use only in development/debugging. Avoid logging raw keys/lockIds in production to prevent accidental exposure of sensitive identifiers.

`getByIdRaw()`

Lookup lock by lockId with raw identifiers (debugging).

typescript

function getByIdRaw<C extends BackendCapabilities>(
  backend: LockBackend<C>,
  lockId: string,
  opts?: { signal?: AbortSignal },
): Promise<LockInfoDebug<C> | null>;

Error Handling

`LockError`

Structured error for system failures.

typescript

class LockError extends Error {
  code:
    | "ServiceUnavailable"
    | "AuthFailed"
    | "InvalidArgument"
    | "RateLimited"
    | "NetworkTimeout"
    | "AcquisitionTimeout"
    | "Internal";
  context?: {
    key?: string;
    lockId?: string;
    cause?: unknown;
  };
}

Usage:

typescript

import { LockError } from "syncguard";

try {
  await lock(workFn, { key: "resource:123" });
} catch (error) {
  if (error instanceof LockError) {
    console.error(`[${error.code}] ${error.message}`);

    // Handle specific codes
    switch (error.code) {
      case "AcquisitionTimeout":
        // Couldn't acquire lock within timeoutMs
        break;
      case "ServiceUnavailable":
        // Backend unavailable, retry later
        break;
      case "NetworkTimeout":
        // Client-side timeout
        break;
    }
  }
}

Error codes:

Code	Cause	Action
`AcquisitionTimeout`	Exceeded `timeoutMs` after retries	Reduce contention or increase timeout
`ServiceUnavailable`	Backend unavailable	Retry with backoff
`NetworkTimeout`	Client/network timeout	Check network connectivity
`InvalidArgument`	Malformed key/lockId	Validate input parameters
`AuthFailed`	Authentication failure	Check credentials
`RateLimited`	Backend rate limiting	Implement backoff
`Aborted`	Operation cancelled via AbortSignal	User-initiated cancellation
`Internal`	Unexpected backend error	Check logs, report if persistent

Notes:

Lock contention is not an error (returns { ok: false, reason: "locked" })
AcquisitionTimeout only thrown by lock() helper (not backend.acquire())
System errors include context (key, lockId, cause) when available

Telemetry

`withTelemetry()`

Opt-in observability decorator for lock operations.

typescript

function withTelemetry<C extends BackendCapabilities>(
  backend: LockBackend<C>,
  options: TelemetryOptions,
): LockBackend<C>;

Usage:

typescript

import { withTelemetry, createRedisBackend } from "syncguard";

const backend = createRedisBackend(redis);
const observed = withTelemetry(backend, {
  onEvent: (event) => {
    console.log("Lock event:", event.type, event.result);
  },
  includeRaw: false, // Redact raw keys/lockIds (default)
});

await observed.acquire({ key: "resource:123", ttlMs: 30000 });
// → { type: "acquire", result: "ok", keyHash: "...", ... }

Options:

typescript

interface TelemetryOptions {
  onEvent: (event: LockEvent) => void;
  includeRaw?: boolean | ((event: LockEvent) => boolean);
}

Event structure:

typescript

type LockEvent = {
  type: "acquire" | "release" | "extend" | "isLocked" | "lookup";
  result: "ok" | "fail";
  keyHash?: HashId; // Always included
  lockIdHash?: HashId; // For operations using lockId
  reason?: "expired" | "not-found" | "locked"; // Best-effort detail
  key?: string; // Only if includeRaw allows
  lockId?: string; // Only if includeRaw allows
};

Notes:

Zero-cost when not applied (no overhead in core backends)
Events emitted asynchronously (never block operations)
Default redaction (includeRaw: false) prevents accidental exposure
reason field provides operational insights (expired vs not-found)

Privacy

Set includeRaw: true only in development/debugging. Raw keys/lockIds may contain sensitive data (user IDs, payment IDs, etc.).

Type Utilities

`hasFence()`

Type guard for fencing token presence.

typescript

function hasFence<C extends BackendCapabilities>(
  result: AcquireResult<C>,
): result is AcquireOk<C> & { fence: Fence };

Usage:

typescript

import { hasFence } from "syncguard";

// Generic function accepting unknown backend types
function processWithAnyBackend<C extends BackendCapabilities>(
  result: AcquireResult<C>,
) {
  if (hasFence(result)) {
    // Type guard for generic contexts
    console.log("Fence:", result.fence);
  }
}

Note: Most application code uses typed backends (Redis/Firestore) and doesn't need hasFence() since TypeScript knows fence exists at compile-time.

`validateLockId()`

Client-side validation for lockId format.

typescript

function validateLockId(lockId: string): void;

Usage:

typescript

import { validateLockId } from "syncguard";

try {
  validateLockId(userProvidedLockId);
  await backend.release({ lockId: userProvidedLockId });
} catch (error) {
  // LockError("InvalidArgument", "Invalid lockId format...")
}

Valid format: Exactly 22 base64url characters (^[A-Za-z0-9_-]{22}$)

`normalizeAndValidateKey()`

Key normalization and validation.

typescript

function normalizeAndValidateKey(key: string): string;

Usage:

typescript

import { normalizeAndValidateKey } from "syncguard";

const normalized = normalizeAndValidateKey(userKey);
await backend.acquire({ key: normalized, ttlMs: 30000 });

Behavior:

Unicode NFC normalization
UTF-8 byte length validation (max 512 bytes)
Throws LockError("InvalidArgument") if key exceeds limit

`generateLockId()`

Generate cryptographically secure lockId.

typescript

function generateLockId(): string;

Usage:

typescript

import { generateLockId } from "syncguard";

const lockId = generateLockId();
// → "a1b2c3d4e5f6g7h8i9j0k1" (22 base64url chars, 128 bits entropy)

Note: Used internally by acquire(). Rarely needed in application code.

`hashKey()`

SHA-256 hash for sanitized identifiers.

typescript

function hashKey(value: string): HashId;

Usage:

typescript

import { hashKey } from "syncguard";

const hash = hashKey("resource:123");
// → "a1b2c3d4e5f6g7h8i9j0k1l2" (24 hex chars, 96 bits)

Note: Used internally by lookup(). Useful for custom telemetry implementations.

Constants

typescript

// Backend defaults (TTL only)
const BACKEND_DEFAULTS = {
  ttlMs: 30_000, // 30 seconds
} as const;

// Lock helper defaults (retry config)
const LOCK_DEFAULTS = {
  maxRetries: 10,
  retryDelayMs: 100,
  timeoutMs: 5_000,
  backoff: "exponential",
  jitter: "equal",
} as const;

// Key validation
const MAX_KEY_LENGTH_BYTES = 512;

Usage:

typescript

import { BACKEND_DEFAULTS, MAX_KEY_LENGTH_BYTES } from "syncguard";

console.log(BACKEND_DEFAULTS.ttlMs); // 30000
console.log(MAX_KEY_LENGTH_BYTES); // 512

Internal Constant

TIME_TOLERANCE_MS = 1000 is an internal constant used by all backends for consistent liveness checks. It's not exported or user-configurable (ADR-005). Both Redis and Firestore use the same 1000ms tolerance automatically.
