Asynchronous function queue with adjustable concurrency.
This module exports a class Queue
that implements most of the Array
API. Pass async functions (ones that accept a callback or return a promise) to an instance's additive array methods. Processing begins when you call q.start()
.
Example
npm run example
var queue = require('../')
var q = queue()
var results = []
// add jobs using the familiar Array API
q.push(function (cb) {
results.push('two')
cb()
})
q.push(
function (cb) {
results.push('four')
cb()
},
function (cb) {
results.push('five')
cb()
}
)
// jobs can accept a callback or return a promise
q.push(function () {
return new Promise(function (resolve, reject) {
results.push('one')
resolve()
})
})
q.unshift(function (cb) {
results.push('one')
cb()
})
q.splice(2, 0, function (cb) {
results.push('three')
cb()
})
// use the timeout feature to deal with jobs that
// take too long or forget to execute a callback
q.timeout = 100
q.on('timeout', function (next, job) {
console.log('job timed out:', job.toString().replace(/\n/g, ''))
next()
})
q.push(function (cb) {
setTimeout(function () {
console.log('slow job finished')
cb()
}, 200)
})
q.push(function (cb) {
console.log('forgot to execute callback')
})
// get notified when jobs complete
q.on('success', function (result, job) {
console.log('job finished processing:', job.toString().replace(/\n/g, ''))
})
// begin processing, get notified on end / failure
q.start(function (err) {
if (err) throw err
console.log('all done:', results)
})
Install
npm install queue
Note: You may need to install the events
dependency if
your environment does not have it by default (eg. browser, react-native).
Test
npm test
npm run test-browser
API
var q = queue([opts])
Constructor. opts
may contain inital values for:
q.concurrency
q.timeout
q.autostart
q.results
Instance methods
q.start([cb])
cb, if passed, will be called when the queue empties or when an error occurs.
q.stop()
Stops the queue. can be resumed with q.start()
.
q.end([err])
Stop and empty the queue immediately.
Instance methods mixed in from Array
Mozilla has docs on how these methods work here. Note that slice
does not copy the queue.
q.push(element1, ..., elementN)
q.unshift(element1, ..., elementN)
q.splice(index , howMany[, element1[, ...[, elementN]]])
q.pop()
q.shift()
q.slice(begin[, end])
q.reverse()
q.indexOf(searchElement[, fromIndex])
q.lastIndexOf(searchElement[, fromIndex])
Properties
q.concurrency
Max number of jobs the queue should process concurrently, defaults to Infinity
.
q.timeout
Milliseconds to wait for a job to execute its callback.
q.autostart
Ensures the queue is always running if jobs are available. Useful in situations where you are using a queue only for concurrency control.
q.results
An array to set job callback arguments on.
q.length
Jobs pending + jobs to process (readonly).
Events
q.emit('success', result, job)
After a job executes its callback.
q.emit('error', err, job)
After a job passes an error to its callback.
q.emit('timeout', continue, job)
After q.timeout
milliseconds have elapsed and a job has not executed its callback.
q.emit('end'[, err])
After all jobs have been processed
