This allows for greater fault tolerance -control by permitting the shutdown of a listener due to the -failure of another part of the application and vice versa. - -Embedding ---------- - -To embed Ranch in your application you can simply add the child specs -to your supervision tree. This can all be done in the `init/1` function -of one of your application supervisors. - -Ranch requires at the minimum two kinds of child specs for embedding. -First, you need to add `ranch_sup` to your supervision tree, only once, -regardless of the number of listeners you will use. Then you need to -add the child specs for each listener. - -Ranch has a convenience function for getting the listeners child specs -called `ranch:child_spec/6`, that works like `ranch:start_listener/6`, -except that it doesn't start anything, it only returns child specs. - -As for `ranch_sup`, the child spec is simple enough to not require a -convenience function. - -The following example adds both `ranch_sup` and one listener to another -application's supervision tree. - -``` erlang -init([]) -> - RanchSupSpec = {ranch_sup, {ranch_sup, start_link, []}, - permanent, 5000, supervisor, [ranch_sup]}, - ListenerSpec = ranch:child_spec(echo, 100, - ranch_tcp, [{port, 5555}], - echo_protocol, [] - ), - {ok, {{one_for_one, 10, 10}, [RanchSupSpec, ListenerSpec]}}. -``` - -Remember, you can add as many listener child specs as needed, but only -one `ranch_sup` spec! - -It is recommended that your architecture makes sure that all listeners -are restarted if `ranch_sup` fails.
