I have a function that must be executed as a go routine infinitely until a
message comes in a channel. For example:
func readWebSocket(ws *websocket.socket, quit chan bool) {
for {
out, err = ws.Read()
log.Println(out, err)
}
}
Now I call this above function as a goroutine from main such as:
go readWebSocket(ws, quit)
where I want the for loop to go on until the `quit` channel receives a
message. The "select" loop seem to work only on multiple channels and not
on a channel + some looping code.
One alternative that I could think of was to create a second goroutine
(third if you include main) to which this readWebSocket can send the output
of "ws.Read" and the select loop can be run there with two channels (the
quit channel and the new channel which gets the "ws.Read" output) but that
would leak this reader go-routine infinitely or makes the code more complex.
How to handle this situation gracefully in go channels, where I want a go
routine to run until a channel gets a message ?
Thanks.
