Task-Kue

Task-Kue is a task queue for Node.JS that builds on the Kue priority job queue library and Redis. Task-Kue automatically serializes Task objects and queues them up for a worker process to deserialize and run.

Create a Task queue (my-task-queue.js)

const TaskKue = require('task-kue');
const myTaskQueue = new TaskKue();
module.exports = myTaskQueue;

Define a Task Object

And register it with the task queue you defined.

const myTaskQueue = require('my-task-queue');
const Task = require('task-kue').Task;

class EmailTask extends Task {
    constructor(email, subject, body) {
        this.email = email;
        this.subject = subject;
        this.body = body;
    }

    run() {
        return smtpPromise(this.email,this.subject, this.body);
    }
}

myTaskQueue.register(EmailTask);

Create a Worker and run it

const myTaskQueue = require('my-task-queue');

var worker = myTaskQueue.buildWorker();

worker.onError(function(e, job) {
	util.log(e.stack);
});

worker.process();

Execute a task asyncronously

new EmailTask("[e-mail]", "Test Email", "Test Body").queue().save();

All of the kue methods (delay, priority) are available before saving the Task.
