PushAndWaitQueue

A simple Promise based queue, that allows you to push(enqueue) actions and wait till it gets to their turn before resolving or also wait for the entire queue to be empty before resolving.

Queue up idempotent operations that can run simultaneously and return the same value even when there's a dependency that can cause the operation to return different value. For example, you can queue up all calls to find or create an entity if not available, if available return the value. If the call is run simultaneously, we might end up with a lot of created entities. With Queue, you can add any call to the queue, so they are waiting for the first find or create operation to be done before returning the entity. see unique user id test

yarn add push-and-wait-queue

npm install push-and-wait-queue

Browser, you can use UNPKG or JSDelivr

APIs

Init

const queue = new PushAndWaitQueue();

Enqueue tasks

import PushAndWaitQueue from "push-and-wait-queue";

const queue = new PushAndWaitQueue();

queue.push(task: ITask);

interface ITask<T> {
    action: ()=>Promise<T>
    onDone?: (err: Error|undefined, result?: T)=>void
}

Task fields	Description
action	required a function that returns a Promise
onDone	optional a function that handles either the result or error from action promise

Usage

see tests

import PushAndWaitQueue from "push-and-wait-queue";

const queue = new PushAndWaitQueue();
const valueFromTask1;
const task1 = {
  action: async () => {
    // long running process
    // return value
    return "3000 entities";
  },
  onDone: (err, resultOfAction) => {
    valueFromTask1 = resultOfAction;
  },
};
const task2 = {
  action: async () => {
    // use value from last tasks
    return `with value is ${valueFromTask1}`;
  },
  onDone: (err, resultOfAction) => {
    console.log(resultOfAction);
  },
};
queue.push(task1).then(() => {});
queue.push(task2).then(() => {});

Wait for Queue to be Idle or completed

You can wait at any time for a queue to be done or idle via .push(...).then since it returns a running instance of the queue

...
const onQueueCompleted = () => {
    console.log('queue is idle/completed')
}

queue.push(...).then(onQueueCompleted)
