Qyu

Usage:

const Qyu = require('qyu');

(async () => {
    const q = new Qyu({concurrency: 3});

    // Basic:
    q(myAsyncFunction);

    // Extra options:
    q(myAsyncFunction, {priority: 7}, arg1, arg2 /*, ...*/));

    // Doesn't matter if more jobs come around later,
    // Qyu will queue them as necessary and optimally manage them all
    // for you based on your concurrency setting
    setTimeout(() => {
      for (let i=0; i<10; i++) {
          q(myAsyncFunction);
      }
    }, 2000);

    await q.whenEmpty(); // When all tasks finished and queue is empty...
})();

qyu is a general-purpose asynchronous job queue for Node.js. It is flexible and easy to use, always accepting jobs and running them as fast as the concurrency settings dictate.

Qyu was meant for:

• large-scale web scrapers
• throttling external API calls
• restraining database bandwidth usage in long-running database background operations
• a lot more...

Features

• Always on and ready to receive additional tasks
• Concurrency setting
• Queue capacity
• Task priority
• Task timeout
• Pause/resume
• Supports streaming (in object mode) for memory-efficient data processing

Scraper Example:

const
    Qyu = require('qyu'),
    axios = require('axios'),
    cheerio = require('cheerio');

(async () => {
    const siteUrl = 'http://www.store-to-crawl.com/products';
    const q = new Qyu({concurrency: 3});

    for (let i=1; i<=10; i++) {
        q(async () => {
            let resp = await axios(siteUrl+'?page='+i);
            let $ = cheerio.load(resp.data);
            let products = [];
            $('.product-list .product').each((i, elem) => {
                let $elem = $(elem);
                let title = $elem.find('.title').text();
                let price = $elem.find('.price').text();
                products.push({ title, price });
            });
            // Do something with products...
        });
    }

    await q.whenEmpty();

    // All done!
})();
