What is @google-cloud/tasks?

@google-cloud/tasks is a Node.js client library for Google Cloud Tasks, which allows you to manage the execution of large numbers of distributed requests. It provides a way to create, manage, and dispatch tasks to App Engine, HTTP, or Cloud Pub/Sub targets.

What are @google-cloud/tasks's main functionalities?

Create a Task

This feature allows you to create a new task in a specified queue. The task can be an HTTP request with a payload.

const {CloudTasksClient} = require('@google-cloud/tasks');
const client = new CloudTasksClient();

async function createTask() {
  const project = 'my-project-id';
  const queue = 'my-queue';
  const location = 'us-central1';
  const url = 'https://example.com/taskhandler';
  const payload = 'Hello, World!';

  const parent = client.queuePath(project, location, queue);
  const task = {
    httpRequest: {
      httpMethod: 'POST',
      url,
      body: Buffer.from(payload).toString('base64'),
      headers: {
        'Content-Type': 'application/json',
      },
    },
  };

  const request = {parent, task};
  const [response] = await client.createTask(request);
  console.log(`Created task ${response.name}`);
}

createTask().catch(console.error);

Delete a Task

This feature allows you to delete a specified task from a queue.

const {CloudTasksClient} = require('@google-cloud/tasks');
const client = new CloudTasksClient();

async function deleteTask() {
  const project = 'my-project-id';
  const queue = 'my-queue';
  const location = 'us-central1';
  const task = 'my-task-id';

  const name = client.taskPath(project, location, queue, task);
  await client.deleteTask({name});
  console.log(`Deleted task ${name}`);
}

deleteTask().catch(console.error);

List Tasks

This feature allows you to list all tasks in a specified queue.

const {CloudTasksClient} = require('@google-cloud/tasks');
const client = new CloudTasksClient();

async function listTasks() {
  const project = 'my-project-id';
  const queue = 'my-queue';
  const location = 'us-central1';

  const parent = client.queuePath(project, location, queue);
  const [tasks] = await client.listTasks({parent});
  tasks.forEach(task => {
    console.log(`Task: ${task.name}`);
  });
}

listTasks().catch(console.error);

Other packages similar to @google-cloud/tasks

    bull

    Bull is a Node library that implements a fast and robust queue system based on Redis. It provides features like delayed jobs, rate-limited jobs, and job prioritization. Compared to @google-cloud/tasks, Bull is more focused on in-memory job queues and does not offer direct integration with Google Cloud services.

    agenda

    Agenda is a lightweight job scheduling library for Node.js that uses MongoDB as a persistence layer. It is designed for long-running jobs and provides features like job scheduling, job prioritization, and job concurrency. Unlike @google-cloud/tasks, Agenda is more suitable for applications that already use MongoDB and need a simple job scheduling solution.

    kue

    Kue is a priority job queue backed by Redis, built for Node.js. It provides features like job events, job retries, and job progress tracking. Kue is similar to Bull but offers a different API and feature set. It does not provide the same level of integration with Google Cloud services as @google-cloud/tasks.
