Squeue [WIP]

Simple Mongo backed queue exercise.

#Queue(conString:String, options:Object)

Initializes a new instance of the Queue class.

• conString The Mongo connection string.
• options The options object.
• options.collection The collection name for the queue.
• options.release The number of seconds a queue can run before being considered old.
• options.retries The number of retries before a queue is dead.
• options.mongo The Mongo connection options.

Has the following defaults:

{
  collection: 'queue',
  release: 30,
  retries: 5,
  mongo: {
    keepAlive: 20000,
    autoReconnect: true,
  },
}

#connect()

Opens a connection to the Mongo DB.

#add(message:Mixed, priority:Number)

Adds a message to the queue.

• message The message to queue.
• priority The message priority.

#get()

Gets the next item in the queue.

#complete(id:String)

Marks a queue item as complete.

• id The item ID.

#fail(id:String)

Marks a queue item as failed.

• id The item ID.

#markDead(id:String)

Marks a queue item as dead (to many retries).

• id The item ID.

#clean()

Removes all completed queue items.

The collection already has a TTL index on completed documents so this is merely if you want to manually flush them.

#bury()

Removes all dead queue items.

#free()

Frees the queue items that are passed the release time.

Example

function addToQueue(message) {
  return queue
    .add(message);
}

function doWork() {
  return queue.get()
    .then(item => {
      if(!item) {
        return;
      }

      return repo
        .readById(item.message.id)
        .then(doc => doSomething(doc))
        .then(() => queue.complete(item.id))
        .catch(error => queue
          .fail(item.id)
          .then(() => Promise.reject(error))
        );
    });
}

// In the method where you want to queue something
// The message can be anything you want
addToQueue({ event: 'ADD', id: doc.id });

// In some sort of worker
doWork();
