A simple table manager
Design based on Steve Vinoski's blog post, "Don't Lose Your ets Tables": http://steve.vinoski.net/blog/2011/03/23/dont-lose-your-ets-tables/
Hostess creates a server, which manages your table, and an additional process for each table. These processes are registered with the same name as the table.
To create a new hostess table:
hostess:new(my_table).All hostess tables are public, so you can access the table directly with ets.
If you'd like to access the table through its parent process, use the transaction/1
operation:
hostess:transaction(my_table, fun (Tbl) -> ets:insert(Tbl, {test, 1}) end).To delete a table:
hostess:delete(my_table).
