rearfloor 1.0.0

Easily background your functions in just 10 characters

RearFloor (Background)

RearFloor is a library to make your functions and class methods run in the background asynchronously with just 10 characters.

This is a lightweight library that takes <5 minutes to audit. Whether you're a small developer looking for a solution, or a large and soulless corporation, this library will save you seconds in both server response time and finding an answer on StackOverflow that does the same thing.

Installation

Use the package manager pip to install RearFloor.

pip install rearfloor

Usage

from rearfloor import rearfloor


# Here's a boring, synchronous function
def synchronousFunction(text_to_print: str):
    print("Synchronous:", text_to_print)


# Now use that function.
# The rest of the program waits for it to stop before moving on.
synchronousFunction("Lame")


# Here's a rad, asynchronous function
@rearfloor
def asynchronousFunction(text_to_print: str):
    print("Asynchronous:", text_to_print)

# Now use *that* function.
# The rest of the program moves on, reducing your wait time on tasks
# that aren't going to return or modify a value.
asynchronousFunction("Sick")

I use this to asynchronously write to the database in a high traffic, low response time Flask application. Now my customers can get a response in <90ms instead of 400-1500ms and the data is still recorded!
