@imqueue/job

Simple Job Queue (@imqueue/job)

Simple job queue using JSON messaging for managing backand background jobs. Backed up by Redis.

Features

Based on @imqueue/core it provides Job Queue functionality including:

• Safe job processing - no data loss!
• Fast processing - by events, not timers, low resource usage.
• Supports gzip compression for job data (decrease traffic usage, but slower).
• Concurrent workers model supported, the same queue can have multiple consumers with no data loss and natural load-balancing.
• Scheduleable jobs - jobs can be delayed by specified time, granularity - milliseconds.
• Job expiration supported - job can live forever or specified time, granularity - milliseconds.
• Publisher/Worker/Both models of work with queues supported.
• TypeScript included!

Usage

import JobQueue, { JobQueuePublisher, JobQueueWorker } from '@imqueue/job';

// Standard job queue (both - worker and publisher) example
new JobQueue<string>({ name: 'TestJob' })
    .onPop(job => console.log(job))
    .start().then(queue => queue
        .push('Hello, world!')
        .push('Hello, world after 1 sec!', { delay: 1000 })
        .push('Hello, world after 2 sec!', { delay: 2000 })
        .push('Hello, world after 5 sec!', { delay: 5000 })
        .push('Hello, world after 10 sec!', { delay: 10000 }),
    );

// Job queue publisher-only example
new JobQueuePublisher<string>({ name: 'CustomTestJob' })
    .start().then(queue => queue
        .push('Hello, job world!')
        .push('Hello, job world after 1 sec!', { delay: 1000 })
        .push('Hello, job world after 2 sec!', { delay: 2000 })
        .push('Hello, job world after 5 sec!', { delay: 5000 })
        .push('Hello, job world after 10 sec!', { delay: 10000 }),
    );

// Job queue worker only example
new JobQueueWorker<string>({ name: 'CustomTestJob' })
    .onPop(job => console.log(job))
    .start()
    .catch(err => console.error(err));
