  require Memento.TransactionAborted


  @moduledoc """
  Memento's wrapper around Mnesia transactions. This module exports
  methods `execute/2` and `execute_sync/2`, and their bang versions,
  which accept a function to be executed and an optional argument to
  set the maximum no. of retries until the transaction succeeds.

  `execute/1` and `execute!/1` can be directly called from the base
  `Memento` module as the alias `Memento.transaction/1` and
  `Memento.transaction!/1` methods, but if you want to specify a
  custom `retries` value or use the synchronous version, you should
  use the methods in this module.


  ## Examples

  ```
  # Read a User record
  {:ok, user} =
    Memento.transaction fn ->
      Memento.Query.read(User, id)
    end

  # Get all Users, raising errors on aborts
  users =
    Memento.transaction! fn ->
      Memento.Query.all(User)
    end

  # Update a User record on all nodes synchronously,
  # with a maximum of 5 retries
  operation = fn ->
    Memento.Query.write(%User{id: 3, name: "New Value"})
  end
  Memento.Transaction.execute_sync(operation, 5)
  ```
