How to lock an object when websocketgateway has many requests mutex

 test.ts

class Mutex {   
    queue: any[];
    queue_args: any[];
    locked: boolean;

    constructor() {
        this.locked = false;
        this.queue = [];
        this.queue_args = [];
    }

    lock(data: any) {
        return new Promise<void>(resolve => {
            if (this.locked) {
                this.queue.push(resolve);
                this.queue_args.push(data);
                console.log('lock', this.queue_args);
            } else {
                this.locked = true;
                resolve();
            }
        });
    }

    unlock() {
        if (this.queue.length > 0) {
            const nextResolver = this.queue.shift();
            const nextArgs = this.queue_args.shift();
            console.log('unlock', nextArgs, this.queue_args);
            nextResolver();
        } else {
            this.locked = false;
        }
    }
}

class WebSocketGateway {
    data: {};
    mutex: Mutex;

    constructor() {
        this.data = {};
        this.mutex = new Mutex();
    }

    async handleRequest(request) {
        await this.mutex.lock(request.data);
        try {
            await new Promise(resolve => setTimeout(resolve, 1000));
        } finally {
            this.mutex.unlock();
        }
    }
}

const gateway = new WebSocketGateway();
for (var i = 0; i < 4; i++)
    gateway.handleRequest({ data: 'request-' + i });
