[erlang-questions] Grouping processes

[Jared Kofron]

Hi List,
I'd like to be able to have 'groups' of processes that I can send messages to, such that sending a message
to a group through whatever API there is results in that message being sent to all members of that group.

Is anybody aware of an existing project that provides this functionality?

Hi Jared,

Have you had a look at Ulf Wiger's gproc for this?

https://github.com/uwiger/gproc

Cheers

There's also pg2, which comes with the erlang distribution.

I haven't personally used gproc (though after a glance at the docs that looks worth checking out, too).

gproc works very well. I suggest trying gproc too.

Best regards,
