TaskQ

TaskQ is a Javascript library that allows tasks to be executed sequentially.

It is designed to be embedded in another library. TaskQ run on both Node.js and ECMAScript 2015 (ES6) compliant browsers.

Quick Startup

This example shows how to store tasks, in the Task Queue, that must be processed sequentially. As soon as a task is stored in the queue, it is executed. When it is completed, it launches the next task thanks to the function next and so on until the queue is empty.

// Create the taskQ object:
const taskQ = TaskQ();

// Define an heavy tasks
function heavy(next) {
  doSomethingComplex();
  next();
}

// Push tasks in the Queue:
taskQ.pushQ('aaa', (next) => {
  heavyTask1(next);
});

taskQ.pushQ('aaa', (next) => {
  heavyTask12(next);
});
