Introduction

travis npm

Node-queue is a node.js module for multiple databases. It can be very useful if you work with (d)ddd, cqrs, eventsourcing, commands and events, etc.

Installation

$ npm install node-queue

Usage

Connecting to an in-memory queue

var queue = require('node-queue');

queue.createQueue(function(err, myQueue) {
    if(err) {
        console.log('ohhh :-(');
        return;
    }

    // you can now use myQueue variable to go on...
});

Connecting to any queue (mongodb in the example)

Make shure you have installed the required driver, in this example run: 'npm install mongodb'.

var queue = require('node-queue');

queue.createQueue(
    {
        type: 'mongoDb',
        host: 'localhost',      // optional
        port: 27017,            // optional
        dbName: 'queuedb',      // optional
        collectionName: 'queue' // optional
        timeout: 10000          // optional
    },
    function(err, myQueue) {
        if(err) {
            console.log('ohhh :-(');
            return;
        }

        // you can now use myQueue variable to go on...
    }
);

Pushing...

myQueue.push('myId', { some: 'data' }, function(err) {
    if(err) {
        console.log('ohhh :-(');
        return;
    }
});

Removing...

myQueue.remove('myId',  function(err) {
    if(err) {
        console.log('ohhh :-(');
        return;
    }
});

Check if is already queued

myQueue.isQueued('myId',  function(err, isQueued) {
    if(isQueued) {
        console.log('Already queued!');
    } else {
        console.log('Not queued!');
    }
});

Getting all...

myQueue.getAll(function(err, items) {
    if(err) {
        console.log('ohhh :-(');
        return;
    }

    // items is an array of all what is in the queue
    var firstItem = items[0];
    console.log('the id: ' + firstItem.id);
    console.log('the pushed data: ' + firstItem.data);
});

Obtain a new id

myQueue.getNewId(function(err, newId) {
    if(err) {
        console.log('ohhh :-(');
        return;
    }

    console.log('the new id is: ' + newId);
});

Catch connect ad disconnect events

var q = queue.createQueue({ type: 'mongodb' }, function(err, q) {
    console.log('hello from callback');
    // use queue here...
});
q.on('connect', function() {
    console.log('hello from event');
    // or here
});
q.on('disconnect', function() {
    console.log('bye');
});

Decrement (can be very useful if you want to create a eventQueue for eventdenormalizers, cqrs, eventsourcing)

// if you push yout items with a workers property...
myQueue.push('myId', { some: 'data', workers: 2 }, function(err) {
    if(err) {
        console.log('ohhh :-(');
        return;
    }

});

...

// then you can decrement the workers property
myQueue.decrement('myId', function(err, hasBeenRemoved) {
    if(err) {
        console.log('ohhh :-(');
        return;
    }

    // Now the workers value is decremented,
    // but if the workers value after the decrement is 0,
    // the record will be automatically removed.
    // You can check this with the flag hasBeenRemoved!

    if(hasBeenRemoved) {
        console.log('All workers finished!');
    }

});

Release notes

Database Support

Currently these databases are supported:

  1. inmemory
  2. mongodb (node-mongodb-native)
  3. couchdb (cradle)
  4. tingodb (tingodb)
  5. redis (redis)

own db implementation

You can use your own db implementation by extending this... (pass the Queue as type in the options)

var Queue = require('node-queue').Queue,
util = require('util'),
    _ = require('lodash');

function MyDB(options) {
  Queue.call(this, options);
}

util.inherits(MyDB, Queue);

_.extend(MyDB.prototype, {

  ...

});

module.exports = MyDB;
