node-beanstalkd-rpc

Node.js beanstalkd RPC

A slim and simple beanstalkd based RPC client for node, based on fivebeans. https://github.com/ceejbot/fivebeans

Produce jobs

client.put(tube, payload, successCallback function(err, jobid) {}, replyCallback function(payload) {}, priority, delay, ttr)

• successCallback fires when the payload has been sent.
• replyCallback fires when a reply payload is received.

var bRPC	= require('node-beanstalkd-rpc'),
    client	= new bRPC('localhost', 11300);
 
client.put(
    'workQueue',
    'Go work!',
    function(err) {
        console.log('job sent');
    },
    function(err, finished, payload) {
        console.log('Got reply ' + payload + ' and job is ' + (finished ? 'finished' : 'not finished'));
    }
);

Consume jobs

client.reserve(tube, successCallback function(payload, reply) {})

• successCallback fires when a payload has been reserved from the queue.
• reply is a function used to report progress or mark the job as being finished. With an optional payload as argument.

var bRPC	= require('node-beanstalkd-rpc'),
    client	= new bRPC('localhost', 11300);
 
client.reserve('workQueue', function(err, payload, reply) {
    console.log('job received containing ' + payload);
 
    reply(false, '50% done!', function() {
        console.log('progress successfully sent');
    });
 
    reply(true, 'Work done!', function() {
        console.log('done successfully sent');
    });
})
