Namecheap Takes Down Polyfill.io Service Following Supply Chain Attack
Polyfill.io has been serving malware for months via its CDN, after the project's open source maintainer sold the service to a company based in China.

queue-promise
is a small, dependency-free library for promise-based queues. It will resolve enqueued tasks concurrently at a given speed. When a task is being resolved or rejected, an event will be emitted.
$ npm install queue-promise
import Queue from "queue-promise";
const queue = new Queue({
// How many tasks should be executed in parallel (defaults to `5`):
concurrent: 1,
// How often should new tasks be executed (in ms – defaults to `500`):
interval: 2000,
// If should resolve new tasks automatically when added (defaults to `true`):
start: true
});
queue.on("start", () => /* … */);
queue.on("stop", () => /* … */);
queue.on("end", () => /* … */);
queue.on("resolve", data => console.log(data));
queue.on("reject", error => console.error(error));
queue.enqueue(asyncTaskA); // resolved/rejected after 0s
queue.enqueue(asyncTaskB); // resolved/rejected after 2s
queue.enqueue(asyncTaskC); // resolved/rejected after 4s
queue.enqueue(asyncTaskD); // resolved/rejected after 6s
new Queue(options)
Create a new Queue
instance.
Option | Default | Description |
---|---|---|
concurrent | 5 | How many tasks should be executed in parallel |
interval | 500 | How often should new tasks be executed (in ms) |
start | true | Whether it should automatically resolve new tasks as soon as they are added |
.enqueue(tasks)
/.add(tasks)
Adds a new task to the queue. A task should be an async function (ES2017) or return a Promise. Throws an error if the provided task
is not a valid function.
Example:
async function getRepos(user) {
return await github.getRepos(user);
}
queue.enqueue(getRepos("userA"));
queue.enqueue(getRepos("userB"));
// …equivalent to:
queue.enqueue([getRepos("userA"), getRepos("userB")]);
.dequeue()
Manually resolves n concurrent (based od options.concurrent
) promises from the queue. Uses global Promises. Is called automatically if options.start
is set to true
. Emits resolve
and reject
events.
Example:
queue.enqueue(getRepos("userA"));
queue.enqueue(getRepos("userB"));
// If "concurrent" is set to 1, only one promise is resolved on dequeue:
const userA = await queue.dequeue();
const userB = await queue.dequeue();
// If "concurrent" is set to 2, two promises are resolved concurrently:
const [userA, userB] = await queue.dequeue();
.on(event, callback)
Sets a callback
for an event
. You can set callback for those events: start
, stop
, resolve
, reject
, end
.
Example:
queue.on("resolve", data => …);
queue.on("reject", error => …);
queue.on("start", () => …);
queue.on("stop", () => …);
queue.on("end", () => …);
.start()
Starts the queue – it will automatically dequeue tasks periodically. Emits start
event.
queue.enqueue(getRepos("userA"));
queue.enqueue(getRepos("userB"));
queue.enqueue(getRepos("userC"));
queue.enqueue(getRepos("userD"));
queue.start();
// No need to call `dequeue` – you can just listen for events:
queue.on("resolve", data => …);
queue.on("reject", error => …);
.stop()
Forces the queue to stop. New tasks will not be resolved automatically even if options.start
was set to true
. Emits stop
event.
.clear()
Removes all tasks from the queue.
.started
Whether the queue has been started or not.
.stopped
Whether the queue has been forced to stop.
.isEmpty
Whether the queue is empty, i.e. there's no tasks.
