# RedisMutex
RedisMutex is a library for creating a Redis lock for a single Redis instance.
## Installation
[From Hex](https://hex.pm/docs/publish), the package can be installed as:
1. Add `redis_mutex` to your list of dependencies in `mix.exs`:
```elixir
def deps do
[{:redis_mutex, "~> 0.1.0"}]
end
```
2. Ensure `redis_mutex` is started before your application:
```elixir
def application do
[applications: [:redis_mutex]]
end
```
## Usage
1. Set the `redis_url` in your `config.exs`
```elixir
config :redis_mutex, redis_url: {:system, "REDIS_URL"}
```
2. Call `use RedisMutex` in the module you want to use the lock and use `with_lock` to
lock critical parts of your code.
```elixir
defmodule PossumLodge do
use RedisMutex
def get_oauth do
with_lock("my_key") do
"Quando omni flunkus moritati"
end
end
end
```
