surmount

surmount

Minimal, well behaved dependency based scheduler

Getting Started

$ npm install --save surmount

Features

• Optimized for parallel execution.
• Propagates arguments to the functions.
• Propagates errors to the affected functions.
• Returns a promise of an object containing return values and/or errors.
• Throws an error on circular dependencies.
• Throws an error on missing dependencies.
• Not an orchestrator, task registry or a build system.

Usage

// example.js

const tie = function (err) {
	if (err) {
		throw err
	}

	console.log('Tied the double windsor knot.')
}

tie.label = 'tie'
tie.dependency = ['shirt']

// ...

const dress = new Surmount([
	tie,
	shoes,
	jacket,
	shirt,
	pants
])

dress()
.then(function (result) {
	console.log(result)
})

// That pair of grey wool trousers.
// Pale blue shirt to go under the jacket.
// Not sure how to wear a tweed jacket with the rest of the pieces.
// Took a pair of brown suede shoes out of the box.
// Tied the double windsor knot.
