## README

tiny-queue
============

A simple FIFO queue implementation to avoid having to do `shift()`
on an array, which is slow. It's implemented in the straightforward `root -> node1 -> node2 -> etc.`
architecture that we all remember from CS 101.

This can typically be used as a drop-in replacement for an array, and it's only 38 lines of code.

### Status

[![browser support](https://ci.testling.com/nolanlawson/tiny-queue.png)](https://ci.testling.com/nolanlawson/tiny-queue)

### Usage

```
npm install tiny-queue
```

Then:

```js
var Queue = require('tiny-queue');
var queue = new Queue();

queue.push('foo');
queue.push('bar');
queue.shift(); // 'foo'
queue.shift(); //'bar'
queue.length; // 0
queue.shift(); // undefined
```

### API

The returned `Queue` object, once instantiated, only supports
four operations:

```js
queue.push()
queue.shift()
queue.slice() // returns a regular Array
queue.length
```

So it's basically a drop-in replacement for most naïve usages
of an array as a queue.
