Hyperworker

A rapid, ES6 based, background worker and mailer infrastructure for node.js based on bull.

Quick Start

Add and initialize hyperworker:

$ cd your-project
$ yarn add hyperworker
$ hyperworker init app

You can run workers as part of an existing service process, or in a separate one with the runWorkers flag on init.

Below is a full default hyperwork config that does the following:

• Lays out bull queue configuration
• Discovers and registers mailers and workers for service use
• Loads nodemailer
• Runs workers in a diffeent process if the HYPERWORK env var is set
• Configures Arena, the bull UI and exports it for use by a service

// src/
//   app/
//     mailers/
//     workers/
//   config/
//     hyperwork.js
//     nodemailer.js
require('babel-register')
const runWorkers = !!process.env.HYPERWORK

const { init } = require('hyperwork')
const mailTransport = require('./nodemailer')

const path = require('path')

const queueConfigs = {
  mailers: {
    name: 'mailers',
    port: 6379,
    host: '127.0.0.1',
    hostId: 'localhost'
  },
  system: {
    name: 'system',
    port: 6379,
    host: '127.0.0.1',
    hostId: 'localhost'
  }
}

init(
  [
    path.join(__dirname, '../app/mailers'),
    path.join(__dirname, '../app/workers') /* CleanupWorker, DatabaseVaccum */
  ],
  {
    log: console.log,
    mailTransport,
    runWorkers,
    queueConfigs
  }
)
const Arena = require('bull-arena')
const hyperworkAdmin = Arena({ queues: queueConfigs })

module.exports = {
  hyperworkAdmin
}

Background Worker

const { Worker } = require('hyperwork')

class CleanupWorker extends Worker {
  async perform({ data }) {
    await request('http://foobar.com'+data.id)
    console.log('worker: cleaned up')
  }
}
module.exports = CleanupWorker

Mailer

Build a mailer like so:

const { Mailer } = require('hyperwork')
class RegistrationMailer extends Mailer {
  static defaults = {
    from: 'acme <[e-mail]>'
  }

  static sendWelcome(user) {
    // https://nodemailer.com/message/
    this.mail({
      to: user.email,
      template: 'welcome',
      locals: {
        bill: '$13'
      }
    })
  }
}

module.exports = RegistrationMailer

And place templates (if you specify one, like above) like this:

mailers/
  registration-mailer.js
  welcome/
    html.ejs
    text.ejs
    subject.ejs

In each, you can use locals as an immediately available variable:

(html.ejs)
<br/> you owe <%= bill %>
