async-promise-queue
A wrapper around the async
module, that provides an improved promise queue.
Some highlights:
- promiseified method (all wired up)
- in a failure scenario, it will wait for pending work before rejecting. This prevents the run-away work problem.
Usage
npm install async-promise-queue
or
yarn add async-promise-queue
Debug logging
DEBUG="async-promise-queue*" node <your program>
And you will be informed when a queue is used, and what its concurrency becomes (note: we can always add more logging, submit your ideas as pull requests!)
Example
'use strict';
const queue = require('async-promise-queue');
queue.async
const worker = queue.async.asyncify(function(work) {
console.log('work', work.file);
return new Promise(resolve => {
if (work.file === '/path-2') { throw new Error('/path-2'); }
if (work.file === '/path-3') { throw new Error('/path-3'); }
setTimeout(resolve, work.duration);
});
});
const work = [
{ file:'/path-1', duration: 1000 },
{ file:'/path-2', duration: 50 },
{ file:'/path-3', duration: 100 },
{ file:'/path-4', duration: 50 },
];
queue(worker, work, 3)
.catch(reason => console.error(reason))
.then(value => console.log('complete!!', value))
