Installation and Setup guide

• Step 1: npm i sails-hook-kue-based-jobs

• Step 2: sails lift

This will automatically create a config file with name kue-jobs.js in your api/config folder and jobs directory in the api folder with some demo job processors. You can customize and add your own if you want.

To schedule a job inside your controller/actions/helpers just follow the job scheduling example at Kue Docs with only one change i.e you will get the queue object from sails global. For example:

var job = sails.queue.create('email', {
    title: 'welcome email for tj'
  , to: '[e-mail]'
  , template: 'welcome-email'
}).save( function(err){
   if( !err ) console.log( job.id );
});
