@softwareasaservice/queue

import "@softwareasaservice/queue"

Maintain a queue in the cloud, for your Node/React/Nextjs App.

A zero dependency npm module, by reusing fetch in Nextjs. (on node, assumes you have installed node-fetch)

Install

# with yarn 
yarn add @softwareasaservice/queue

# or with npm
npm install @softwareasaservice/queue

Setup

var q = new Queue({EMAIL:"[e-mail]");

 // if you have an Enterprise account, pass in your `APIKEY`
var q = new Queue({EMAIL:"[e-mail]", APIKEY:"skip_if_not_given_to_you"});

Settings

option	value
EMAIL	Your email
APIKEY	For enterprise customers
maxBuffer	25
intervalInMs	5000
intervalInMs	5000

Usage from Nextjs

import {Queue} from "@softwareasaservice/queue";

var q = new Queue({EMAIL:"[e-mail]", APIKEY:"skip_if_not_given_to_you"},{
  onSuccess: (_, worked)=> {console.log('got', worked);},
  onError: (_, failed)=> {console.log('error:',failed);}
});

export default (req, res) => {
  q.add({a:1, b: [2,4], c: "str", someField: `apple${Date.now()}`})

  res.status(200).json(q.buff);
}

Usage from Node

Additional step for Node or an environment that does not have the fetch function

# required for node
yarn add node-fetch
# or via npm 
npm install node-fetch

Then continue with the setup

const Queue = require("@softwareasaservice/queue").Queue;

var q = new Queue({EMAIL:"[e-mail]", APIKEY:"skip_if_not_given_to_you"},{
  onSuccess: (_, worked)=> {console.log('got', worked);},
  onError: (_, failed)=> {console.log('error:',failed);}
});

Adding to the queue

  // queue an object
  q.add(anyObject);

   // queue the body from an express route handler
  q.add(req.body);
  
  // use any attributes you like, that can be JSON stringified
  q.add({a:1, b: [2,4], c: "str", someField: `apple${Date.now()}`})
  

When does the queue sync to the cloud

Every 5 seconds. This is configurable via the intervalInMs that can be passed along with the EMAIL while creating the queue. The maxBuffer is 25, that can also be passed in as an option.

Events

No not listen for events

var q = new Queue({EMAIL:"[e-mail]");

Listen for events to your custom function rather than push to the cloud

var q = new Queue({EMAIL:"[e-mail]"},{
  debugger: (payload)=> {console.log('sending:', payload);}
});

Listen for successfully sent items

var q = new Queue({EMAIL:"[e-mail]", {
  onSuccess: (err, payload)=> {console.log('sent:', worked);}
});

Listen for errors

var q = new Queue({EMAIL:"[e-mail]"},{
  onError: (err, payload)=> {console.log('error:', failed);}
});
