gearup

This library implements the gearman protocol as simple as possible. The gearman protocol can be found here http://gearman.org/protocol/

Installation

npm install gearup

Example

See client_example.js and worker_example.js

References

Server

This class keeps the TCP connection.

var server = new Server('127.0.0.1', 4730);

Client

This class exposes the client interface

var client = new Client(server);
client.submitJob(job);

Worker

This class exposes the worker interface

var worker = new Worker(server);
worker.canDo('queue-name', function(job) {
});
worker.grab();

Job

The class keeps the data shared between client and worker

Client side:

var job = Job.create('queue-name', payload');
job.isBackground = true; // optional
job.priority = 'high'; // optional

Worker side:

job.data('return-data');
job.status(12, 30);
job.warning('warning-message');
job.fail();
job.exception('exception-message');

Why

I was looking for a library for a production application. No library implements the protocol correctly. Indeed, this does.

If you would make sure your application works correctly, use gearup.
