AsyncLock

A naive implementation of async lock

https://github.com/ebalynn/AsyncLock

Behind the scenes the implementation uses SemaphoreSlim to do all the heavy lifting which already has a support for async/await.

You would normally use AsyncLock within a “using” statement. To keep the implementation as simple as possible I do not use any cancellation tokens for any of the operations.

Usage:

private readonly AsyncLock _lock = new AsyncLock();
public async Task DoSomethingAsync()
{
  using (await _lock.EnterAsync())
  {
    await Task.Delay(TimeSpan.FromSeconds(1));
  }
}
