parse-server-queue v1.0.31

parse-server-queue

Easy-peasy parse-dashboard-compatible queue for parse-server with mongodb.

• horizontal scalable workers
• easy drop-in replacement (no need to install rabbitmq etc) thanks to mongodb's findOneAndUpdate()
• manageable through parse-dashboard UI (queues show up)
• very powerful in combination with parse's ACL & LiveQuery pub/sub feature.

Usage

Just edit index.js :)

$ docker build . -t worker && docker run (...) worker

or locally:

$ git clone https://github.com/coderofsalvation/parse-server-queue
$ cd parse-server-queue
$ npm install 
$ export DATABASE_URI=mongodb://localhost:27017
$ export MASTER_KEY=*** 
$ export APP_ID=myapp
$ export API_KEY_JAVASCRIPT=*** 
$ export SERVER_URL=http://localhost:1337
$ npm start

Documentation

see index.js and mongodb-queue

const Parse = require('parse/node');
const ParseQ = require('./ParseQ')(Parse,Q)
const client = new mongodb.MongoClient(url, { useNewUrlParser: true,useUnifiedTopology:true })

let work = (queue) => {
  done = () => work(queue) // repeat infinitely!
  queue.get((err, msg) => {
	try{
        // do stuff
		done()
	}catch(e){ 
		console.error(e)
		done()
	}
  }) 
}

client.connect( async (err) => {
  const db = client.db('test')
  
  const queue = await ParseQ.get(db,'Q_email')
    
  queue.add('Hello, World!', (err, id) => {
   	// Message with payload 'Hello, World!' added.
  	// 'id' is returned, useful for logging.
  })

  work(queue)

})

TIP

If you're not using kubernetes/docker-compose e.g., just put add some multicore-code in there (PROFIT!)
