How to use

First define you own Job as follows:

import { Job } from 'queuework';

class TestJob extends Job {
  static get name() {
    return 'test'; // queue name
  }
  
  static get numberOfRetries() {
    return 3;
  }
  
  /**
   * You can define your config in some BaseJob in you project and then extend your class.
   * Otherwise you can set configs via .env file or process.env.
   */
  static get config() {
    return {
      driver: 'redis',
      uri: 'redis://127.0.0.1:6379',
      //host: '127.0.0.1',
      //user: '',
      //password: '',
      //port: 6379,
    };
  }
  
  static get schedule() {
    return '* * * * *'; // This Job will be executed every minute every hour and so on.
  }
  
  static handle(message) { // This handler will be executed on Job work.
    console.log(message);
  };
}
export default TestJob;

Add message

And then use it in you project. To add message use:

await TestJob.addMessage({ hello: 'test1' });

Daemonize

To daemonize or to execute one job:

await TestJob.work(); // use await for work function. Node works faster than queue.
await TestJob.daemonize(); // here if you will use await, next functions not be called and you will not have ability to stop daemon programmatically
TestJob.stop(); // Stops daemon

To deamonize you Job type on your server for example

nohup node daemons.js &

And in the daemons.js write:

import { TestJob } from './jobs/index.js';
import * as polyfill from '@babel/polyfill';

(async function () {
  await TestJob.daemonize();
})();

Scheduling

If you are using schedule you will not receive messages, your handle function will be executed as is. If you want to execute job more than one time a minute use waitBeforeMessage instead of schedule. It will run process in while (true) with sleep time for 2 seconds.

class TestJob extends Job {
  static get waitBeforeMessage() {
    return 2000; // micro seconds
  }
}

Works with

Now queue works with Redis and SQL Databases. In future it will be RabbitMQ also.

How to configure Redis

Use env vars, it's handy. You can set them in .env file in you project.

QUEUE_DRIVER=redis

#REDIS_URI=redis://127.0.0.1:6379
REDIS_HOST=127.0.0.1
REDIS_USER=
REDIS_PASSWORD=
REDIS_PORT=6379

Otherwise use config property.

static get config() {
  return {
    driver: 'redis',
    uri: 'redis://127.0.0.1:6379',
    //host: '127.0.0.1',
    //user: '',
    //password: '',
    //port: 6379,
  };
}

How to work with DB

Works with MySQL, PostgreSQL, MariaDB, SQLite and MSSQL. To start use PostgreSQL or MySQL create two tables and one index in you db.

CREATE TABLE jobs(id INT NOT NULL AUTO_INCREMENT PRIMARY KEY, queue VARCHAR(255), `data` TEXT, retries INT UNSIGNED, reserved_at DATETIME, created_at DATETIME NOT NULL DEFAULT CURRENT_TIMESTAMP, updated_at DATETIME NOT NULL DEFAULT CURRENT_TIMESTAMP);
ALTER TABLE jobs ADD INDEX queue_reserved_at_idx(queue, reserved_at);

CREATE TABLE failed_jobs(id int not null AUTO_INCREMENT PRIMARY KEY, queue VARCHAR(255), `data` TEXT, retries INT UNSIGNED, created_at DATETIME NOT NULL DEFAULT CURRENT_TIMESTAMP, updated_at DATETIME NOT NULL DEFAULT CURRENT_TIMESTAMP);

Configs for DB:

static get config() {
  return {
    driver: 'db',
    dialect: 'mysql',
    //uri: 'postgres://127.0.0.1:6379',
    name: 'test',
    user: 'maxim',
    password: 'secretpassword',
    host: '127.0.0.1',
    port: 8889
  };
}

Or use .env vars:

#DB_URI=postgres://127.0.0.1:6379
DB_DIALECT=mysql
DB_NAME=test
DB_HOST=127.0.0.1
DB_USER=maxim
DB_PASSWORD=secretpassword
DB_PORT=8889

ES5

To use queuework with ES5 define you class:

function MyJob() {
};
MyJob.prototype = Object.create(queuework.Job);

let job = new MyJob();
job.setName('MyJob');
job.setConfig({
  driver: 'redis',
  uri: 'redis://127.0.0.1:6379',
});
job.setWaitBeforeMessage(5000);
job.setNumberOfRetries(3);
job.handle = function (message) {
  console.log(message);
  throw new Error('User error');
};

module.exports = job;
