fib-flow

fib-flow

A powerful workflow management system built on fibjs for orchestrating complex task dependencies and distributed task execution.

Key Features

• Workflow Management: Parent-child task relationships, automatic state propagation
• Task Types: Async tasks and cron jobs with priorities and delays
• State Management: Comprehensive task lifecycle and state transitions
• Reliability: Automatic retries, timeout protection, transaction safety
• Database Support: SQLite/MySQL/PostgreSQL with flexible connection options
• Resource Management: Load balancing and specialized worker support

Installation

fibjs --install fib-flow

Quick Start

const { TaskManager } = require('fib-flow');

// Initialize task manager (uses in-memory SQLite by default)
const taskManager = new TaskManager();
taskManager.db.setup();

// Register task handler
taskManager.use('sendEmail', async (task) => {
    const { to, subject, body } = task.payload;
    await sendEmail(to, subject, body);
    return { sent: true };
});

// Start processing
taskManager.start();

// Add a task
taskManager.async('sendEmail', {
    to: '[e-mail]',
    subject: 'Hello',
    body: 'World'
});
