What is @bull-board/express?

@bull-board/express is a package that provides a user interface for managing Bull queues in an Express application. It allows developers to monitor and manage their job queues, view job details, retry failed jobs, and more.

What are @bull-board/express's main functionalities?

Setting up Bull Board with Express

This code sets up Bull Board with an Express application. It creates an Express server, initializes a Bull queue, and integrates Bull Board to provide a UI for managing the queue at the '/admin/queues' endpoint.

const express = require('express');
const { BullAdapter } = require('@bull-board/api/bullAdapter');
const { createBullBoard } = require('@bull-board/api');
const { ExpressAdapter } = require('@bull-board/express');
const Queue = require('bull');

const app = express();
const serverAdapter = new ExpressAdapter();
serverAdapter.setBasePath('/admin/queues');

const someQueue = new Queue('someQueueName');

createBullBoard({
  queues: [new BullAdapter(someQueue)],
  serverAdapter: serverAdapter,
});

app.use('/admin/queues', serverAdapter.getRouter());

app.listen(3000, () => {
  console.log('Server is running on port 3000');
});

Adding multiple queues

This code demonstrates how to add multiple Bull queues to Bull Board. It initializes two Bull queues and integrates them into the Bull Board UI, allowing management of both queues from the same interface.

const express = require('express');
const { BullAdapter } = require('@bull-board/api/bullAdapter');
const { createBullBoard } = require('@bull-board/api');
const { ExpressAdapter } = require('@bull-board/express');
const Queue = require('bull');

const app = express();
const serverAdapter = new ExpressAdapter();
serverAdapter.setBasePath('/admin/queues');

const firstQueue = new Queue('firstQueue');
const secondQueue = new Queue('secondQueue');

createBullBoard({
  queues: [new BullAdapter(firstQueue), new BullAdapter(secondQueue)],
  serverAdapter: serverAdapter,
});

app.use('/admin/queues', serverAdapter.getRouter());

app.listen(3000, () => {
  console.log('Server is running on port 3000');
});

Customizing Bull Board

This code shows how to customize Bull Board by dynamically adding a new queue. It uses the `addQueue` method to add another Bull queue to the existing Bull Board setup.

const express = require('express');
const { BullAdapter } = require('@bull-board/api/bullAdapter');
const { createBullBoard } = require('@bull-board/api');
const { ExpressAdapter } = require('@bull-board/express');
const Queue = require('bull');

const app = express();
const serverAdapter = new ExpressAdapter();
serverAdapter.setBasePath('/admin/queues');

const someQueue = new Queue('someQueueName');

const { addQueue, removeQueue, setQueues, replaceQueues } = createBullBoard({
  queues: [new BullAdapter(someQueue)],
  serverAdapter: serverAdapter,
});

// Example of adding a new queue dynamically
const anotherQueue = new Queue('anotherQueueName');
addQueue(new BullAdapter(anotherQueue));

app.use('/admin/queues', serverAdapter.getRouter());

app.listen(3000, () => {
  console.log('Server is running on port 3000');
});
