Examples

How to use

$ npm install wait-queue

TypeScript

import WaitQueue from 'wait-queue';
const wq = new WaitQueue<string>();
 
async function run() {
  const item = await wq.shift();
  console.log(item);
}
 
setTimeout(() => {
  wq.push('foo');
}, 1000);
 
run();

JS

const WaitQueue = require('wait-queue');
const wq = new WaitQueue();
wq.shift().then(function(item) {
  // will wait until got value
  console.log(item);
  // "foo"
});
 
setTimeout(function() {
  wq.push('foo');
}, 1000);

Requirements

Build: Node.js >= 8.x

Properties

wq.length

Length of the WaitQueue(readonly)

wq.queue

A LinkedList, used to store the queue items, Do not modify it directly

wq.listeners

If no elements in queue yet, listener will add here, Don't modify it

Methods

wq.push(item1, [item2])

Add items to the end of the queue, will return length of the queue

wq.shift().then( item => )

Got an item from front of the queue, this is a Promise method, if there's no item in the queue, it will wait

wq.unshift(item)

Put an item in front of the queue, will return length of the queue

wq.pop().then( item => )

Got an item at the end of the queue, this is a Promise method, if there's no item in the queue, it will wait

wq.empty() alias of wq.clearQueue()

Clear the queue, Won't clear listeners

wq.clearListeners()

Clear waited listeners of the queue

Example: Iterator

use for ... of to get all values

'use strict';
const WaitQueue = require('wait-queue');
const wq = new WaitQueue();
 
wq.push(1, 2, 3, 4, 5);
 
console.log('length', wq.length);
for (var n of wq) {
  console.log(n);
}

Example: Multi Worker

'use strict';
const WaitQueue = require('wait-queue');
const wq = new WaitQueue();
 
// worker loop
function run_worker(id, time) {
  var loop = function() {
    // get item at the front of the queue
    wq.shift().then(item => {
      console.log('worker-' + id);
      console.log('  queue-len', wq.queue.length, 'item', item);
      setTimeout(loop, time);
    });
  };
  loop();
}
 
// worker-a use 1s every task
run_worker('a', 1000);
// worker-b use 2s every task
run_worker('b', 2000);
// worker-c use 5s every task
run_worker('c', 5000);
 
// add a task every 500ms
for (var n = 0; n < 20; n++) {
  wq.push(n);
}

Example: Push a function

'use strict';
const WaitQueue = require('wait-queue');
const wq = new WaitQueue();
 
// there's no task here
wq.shift().then(item => {
  item.call();
});
 
// add a function as item
wq.push(function() {
  console.log('a function');
});

Example: Loop Tasks

'use strict';
const WaitQueue = require('wait-queue');
const wq = new WaitQueue();
 
function loop() {
  // put first element out of queue
  wq.shift()
    .then(function(item) {
      // do some job on item
      console.log(item);
      // do next loop
      setImmediate(loop);
    })
    .catch(function(e) {
      console.error('error', e);
      setImmediate(loop);
    });
}
setImmediate(loop);
 
var taskID = 0;
var interval;
// add a task every 1s
interval = setInterval(function() {
  wq.push({
    taskid: taskID++,
  });
}, 1000);

Using with co

'use strict';
const WaitQueue = require('wait-queue');
const co = require('co');
const wq = new WaitQueue();
 
co(function*() {
  while (true) {
    let item = yield wq.shift();
    // catch errors from runTask, so that it won't stop the task loop
    try {
      yield runTask(item);
    } catch (e) {
      // output errors
      console.error('error', item);
      // you can re do task from here
      wq.push(item);
      console.log('add error item to end of queue');
    }
  }
});
 
function runTask(item) {
  return new Promise(function(resolve, reject) {
    // a task will run 2s
    setTimeout(function() {
      if (Math.random() > 0.8) {
        return reject(new Error('some unknown error'));
      }
      console.log('done', item);
      resolve();
    }, 1000);
  });
}
 
// add a task every 1s
var taskID = 0;
setInterval(function() {
  wq.push({
    taskid: taskID++,
  });
}, 1000);
