Ticker Stop behaviour in Golang

Question

If I am ranging over a ticker channel and call stop() the channel is stopped but not closed.

In this Example:

package main

import (
    \"time\"
            


        

Answer 1

you can do like this.

package main

import (
    "fmt"
    "time"
)

func startTicker(f func()) chan bool {
    done := make(chan bool, 1)
    go func() {
        ticker := time.NewTicker(time.Second * 1)
        defer ticker.Stop()
        for {
            select {
            case <-ticker.C:
                f()
            case <-done:
                fmt.Println("done")
                return
            }
        }
    }()
    return done
}

func main() {
    done := startTicker(func() {
        fmt.Println("tick...")
    })
    time.Sleep(5 * time.Second)
    close(done)
    time.Sleep(5 * time.Second)
}
