🔧 Quick Start

Basic Usage

import {
  queryHelper,
  filterHelpers,
  stringUtils,
  loggers,
} from "mvc-common-toolkit";

// Parse query parameters
const query = queryHelper.parseQueryString("page=1&limit=10&sort=name:asc");

// Apply filters
const filters = filterHelpers.parseFilters([
  { field: "status", operator: "eq", value: "active" },
  { field: "age", operator: "gte", value: 18 },
]);

// String utilities
const slug = stringUtils.slugify("Hello World!"); // hello-world

// Logging
const logger = loggers.PinoLogger;
logger.info("Application started");

Distributed Task Queue

import {
  DistributedTaskQueueFactory,
  RedisQueueEngine,
} from "mvc-common-toolkit";

// Create Redis queue engine
const redisEngine = new RedisQueueEngine({
  redis: { host: "localhost", port: 6379 },
  instanceId: "service-instance-1",
});

await redisEngine.connect();

// Create distributed task queue
const taskQueue = DistributedTaskQueueFactory.createWithDefaults(redisEngine);

// Start consumer (only one active across all replicas)
await taskQueue.startConsumer("order-processing-queue");

// Push tasks from any replica
const result = await taskQueue.push(
  "order-processing-queue",
  "process-order",
  async () => {
    // Task logic here
    return { orderId: "123", status: "processed" };
  }
);

Redis Service

import { RedisService } from "mvc-common-toolkit";

const redisService = new RedisService({
  host: "localhost",
  port: 6379,
  db: 0,
});

// Cache operations
await redisService.set("user:123", { name: "John", email: "[e-mail]" });
const user = await redisService.get("user:123");

// List operations
await redisService.lpush("queue:orders", JSON.stringify(order));
const order = await redisService.brpop("queue:orders", 1);

// Hash operations
await redisService.hset("user:123", "lastLogin", new Date().toISOString());
const lastLogin = await redisService.hget("user:123", "lastLogin");

Query & Filter Parsing

import { queryHelper, filterHelpers } from "mvc-common-toolkit";

// Parse complex query strings
const query = queryHelper.parseQueryString(
  "page=1&limit=20&sort=name:asc,createdAt:desc&filter=status:eq:active,age:gte:18"
);

// Parse filters
const filters = filterHelpers.parseFilters([
  { field: "status", operator: "eq", value: "active" },
  { field: "age", operator: "gte", value: 18 },
  { field: "tags", operator: "in", value: ["javascript", "typescript"] },
  { field: "name", operator: "like", value: "john" },
]);

// Build SQL WHERE clause
const whereClause = filterHelpers.buildWhereClause(filters);

Excel Processing

import { excelService } from "mvc-common-toolkit";

// Generate Excel file
const workbook = await excelService.createWorkbook();
const worksheet = workbook.addWorksheet("Users");

// Add data
const users = [
  { id: 1, name: "John Doe", email: "[e-mail]" },
  { id: 2, name: "Jane Smith", email: "[e-mail]" },
];

await excelService.addDataToWorksheet(worksheet, users, {
  headers: ["ID", "Name", "Email"],
  startRow: 1,
});

// Save file
await excelService.saveWorkbook(workbook, "users.xlsx");

// Truncate
const truncated = stringUtils.truncate("Long text here", 10); // Long text...

Workflow Management

// Delayed task registry
const registry = new DelayedTaskRegistry();
await registry.register({
  callback: () => console.log("Task executed"),
  timeout: 5000,
  startOnCreate: true,

// Retry task
const retryTask = new RetryTask({
  maxAttempts: 3,
  backoffMs: 1000,
  task: async () => {
    /* task logic */
  },
});
await retryTask.execute();
