node-redis-scheduler v0.1.1

node-redis-scheduler

Basic scheduler which fires a new event after a given delay. Uses Redis as pub/sub.

Call

var RedisQueue = require('node-redis-pubsub')
  , env = process.env.NODE_ENV || 'development'
  , options = { scope: env, port: 6379 }
  , mqClient = new RedisQueue(options);

mqClient.emit('schedule', { delay: YOUR_DELAY, event: 'YOUR_FUTUTRE_EVENT', data: YOUR_DATA );

And YOUR_FUTURE_EVENT will fire YOUR_DELAY seconds after with YOUR_DATA data as parameter. Useful for asynchronous tasks like sending an email X minutes after a given event.
