queue-up Build Status

Simple promise-based function queue

Cool way to enqueue rate-limited operations.

Install

$ npm install --save queue-up

Usage

const ghGot = require('gh-got');
const Queue = require('queue-up');

// GitHub API allows us to make 5000 requests per hour:

const queue = new Queue(60 * 60 * 1000 / 5000);

const usernames = [
	'dsblv',
	'strikeentco',
	'sindresorhus',
	'octocat'
];

const opts = {
	token: 'the-private-token'
};

for (let username of usernames) {
	queue.up(() => ghGot(`users/${username}`, opts))
		.then(data => data.body)
		.then(user => console.log(`${user.name} is in ${user.location}`));
}

API

new Queue([interval, initialValue])

Creates new instance of Queue.

interval

Type: number
Default: 1000

Time in ms from when previous function resolves to when next is invoked.

initialValue

Type: any
Default: undefined

Every function in a queue gets result of the previous one as an argument. If you specify initialValue, it will be fed to the first function:

function double(value) {
	return value * 2;
}

const queue = new Queue(100, 1337);

queue.up(double).then(console.log);
//=> 2674

queue.up(double).then(console.log);
//=> 5348 (after 100ms)

queue.up(fn)

Alias: queue.enqueue(fn)

Returns a promise that resolves to what fn() would resolve, but in the right time.

fn

Type: function
Required

A function to be enqueued. Doesn't necessarily need to return a promise.

queue.all(fns)

Enqueues several function and returns a promise that resolves to an array of all results.

fns

Type: iterable (e.g. array)
Required

An iterable object of functions to be enqueued.

function double(value) {
	return value * 2;
}

const queue = new Queue(100, 1337);

queue.all([double, double]).then(console.log);
//=> [2674, 5348] (after 100ms)
