u-queue v1.1.0

µQueue

Small collection of promise-based queues used in several projects.

Installation

npm install --save u-queue

Usage

const { queueFactory, sleep, throttlingQueueFactory } = require('u-queue');

queueFactory

Creates simplest queue, that invokes promises one after another.

const queue = queueFactory();

const longProcesses = [
    queue(() => sleep(1500).then(() => 1)),
    queue(() => sleep(1000).then(() => 2)),
    queue(() => sleep(500).then(() => 3)),
];

Promise.all(longProcesses).then(console.log);
// Promise {<pending>}
// => [1, 2, 3]

throttlingQueueFactory

Same as queueFactory but adds delay after each promise is resolved.

const queue = throttlingQueueFactory({ delay: 1000 });

queue(() => console.log(new Date()));
queue(() => console.log(new Date()));
queue(() => console.log(new Date()));

// Promise {<pending>}
// 11:16:27
// 11:16:28
// 11:16:29

sleep

Creates promise that is resolved after specified milliseconds. Used internally by throttlingQueueFactory, but may be useful somewhere else as well.

sleep(3141);
