Fifo queue with concurrency control

example

var cq = require('concurrent-queue')

var queue = cq().limit({ concurrency: 2 }).process(function (task, cb) {
    console.log(task + ' started')
    setTimeout(function () {
        cb(null, task)
    }, 1000)
})

for (var i = 1; i <= 10; i++) queue('task '+i, function (err, task) {
    console.log(task + ' done')
})

or with promises:

var cq = require('concurrent-queue')

var queue = cq().limit({ concurrency: 2 }).process(function (task) {
    return new Promise(function (resolve, reject) {
        console.log(task + ' started')
        setTimeout(resolve.bind(undefined, task), 1000)
    })
})

for (var i = 1; i <= 10; i++) queue('task '+i).then(function (task) {
    console.log(task + ' done')
})

api

var cq = require('concurrent-queue')

var queue = cq()

Create a queue.

queue(item [, cb])

Push an item to the queue. Once the item has been processed, the optional callback will be executed with arguments determined by the processor.

Returns a promise that will be resolved or rejected once the item is processed.

queue.process(processor)

Configure the queue's processor function, to be invoked as concurrency allows with a queued item to be acted upon.

The processor argument should be a function with signature function (item [, cb]). If the processor function signature included a callback, an error-first style callback will be passed which should be executed upon completion. If no callback is provided in the function signature, and the processor function returns a Promise, the item will be considered complete once the promise is resolved/rejected.

This function returns a reference to queue.

queue.limit(limitObj)

Set queue limits with a limits object. Valid limit properties are:

  • concurrency - (default: Infinity) - determine how many items in the queue will be processed concurrently
  • maxSize - (default: Infinity) - determine how many items may be pending in the queue before additional items are no longer accepted. When an item is added that would exceed this, the callback associated with the item will be invoked with an error and/or the promise returned by queue() will be rejected.
  • softMaxSize - (default: Infinity) - determine how many items may be pending before the queue begins producing warnings on the softLimitReached eventuate property.

This function returns a reference to queue.

queue.enqueued(func)

enqueued is an eventuate. Use this to supply a function that will be executed when an item is added to the queue. The function will be passed an object with the following properties:

  • item - The queued item that is being processed

queue.rejected(func)

rejected is an eventuate. Register a function to be executed when an item is rejected from the queue. This can happen, for example, when maxSize is exceeded. The function will be passed an object with the following properties:

  • item - The item that was rejected from the queue
  • err - An error containing the reason for rejection

queue.softLimitReached(func)

softLimitReached is an eventuate. Register a function to be executed when the configured soft size limit has been reached or exceeded. This function will be executed any time an item is added to the queue when the queue.limit meets or exceeds the softMaxSize value. The function will be passed an object with the following properties:

  • size - the queue.size

queue.processingStarted(func)

processingStarted is an eventuate. Register a function to be executed once an item has transitioned from pending to processing. The function will be passed an object with the following properties:

  • item - The queued item that is being processed

queue.processingEnded(func)

processingEnded is an eventuate. Register a function to be executed once processing of an item has completed or failed. The function will be passed an object with the following properties:

  • item - The queued item that was processed
  • err - Will be present if there was an error while processing the item

queue.drained(func)

drained is an eventuate. Register a function to be executed each time the queue is fully drained (no items pending or processing).

queue.size

A numeric value representing the number of items in queue, waiting to be processed.

queue.isDrained

A boolean value indicating whether the queue is in a drained state (no items pending or processing).

queue.pending

An array of items waiting to be processed.

queue.processor

The processor function is one has been configured via queue.process(), otherwise undefined. This is a read-only (getter) property.

queue.processing

An array of items currently being processed.

queue.concurrency

An integer property representing the number of concurrent queue items that will be processed. This defaults to Infinity, but may be re-assigned. An integer value must be assigned to this property. This property may also be set by calling the limit() function and passing an object with the concurrency property. Setting this property to 0 will halt the queue (once all in-process items are complete), while setting it to Infinity removes all limits.

queue.maxSize

An integer property representing the maximum number of items that may be pending in the queue. This defaults to Infinity, but may be re-assigned. An integer value must be assigned to this property. This property may also be set by calling the limit() function and passing an object with the maxSize property.

queue.softMaxSize

An integer property representing the maximum number of items that may be pending in the queue before warnings are produced. This defaults to Infinity, but may be re-assigned. An integer value must be assigned to this property. This property may also be set by calling the limit() function and passing an object with the softMaxSize property.

errors

var errors = require('concurrent-queue/errors')
var MaxSizeExceededError = errors.MaxSizeExceededError

MaxSizeExceededError

Constructor for errors representing the queue.maxSize constraint being exceeded. This is supplied to the callback and/or promise rejection when an item cannot be queued due to queue.maxSize constraints. Example:

var cq                   = require('concurrent-queue'),
    MaxSizeExceededError = require('concurrent-queue/errors').MaxSizeExceededError

queue = cq().limit({ maxSize: 100, concurrency: 1 }).process(function (item, cb) {
    // do something
})

queue({}, function (err, result) {
    if (err instanceof MaxSizeExceededError) {
        // the queue is full
    }
    else if (err) {
        // otherwise an error happened while processing...
    }
})

install

With npm do:

npm install concurrent-queue

testing

npm test [--dot | --spec] [--phantom] [--grep=pattern]

Specifying --dot or --spec will change the output from the default TAP style. Specifying --phantom will cause the tests to run in the headless phantom browser instead of node. Specifying --grep will only run the test files that match the given pattern.

browser test

npm run browser-test

This will run the tests in all browsers (specified in .zuul.yml). Be sure to educate zuul first.

coverage

npm run coverage [--html]

This will output a textual coverage report. Including --html will also open an HTML coverage report in the default browser.
