shitty-queue

Simple queuing system

Non-blocking recursion-based queue for processing items in series

npm i shitty-queue

Initialize queue with an item-processor function and optional milliseconds to wait before processing next item - then just start requesting

Note: Processor must return a Promise

//Create your item-processor-function
const item_processor = async ( item ) => {
  //-- Simulate 5-sec process --
  console.log(`Processing ${item}`)
  await new Promise(done => setTimeout(done,5000))
  console.log(`Completed ${item}`)
  return `Result of ${item}`
}
 
//Init queue with processor and ms to wait between items
const queue = require('shitty-queue')(item_processor, 100)
 
//Add a bunch of requests and 
queue.request('111111111').then(console.log)
queue.request('222222222').then(console.log)
queue.request('333333333').then(console.log)
queue.request('444444444').then(console.log)
queue.request('555555555').then(console.log)
