Optimize Toolset

I’ve always been into building performant and accessible sites, but lately I’ve been taking it extremely seriously. So much so that I’ve been building a tool to help me optimize and monitor the sites that I build to make sure that I’m making an attempt to offer the best experience to those who visit them. If you’re into performant, accessible and SEO friendly sites, you might like it too! You can check it out at Optimize Toolset.

About

Hi, 👋, I’m Ryan Hefner  and I built this site for me, and you! The goal of this site was to provide an easy way for me to check the stats on my npm packages, both for prioritizing issues and updates, and to give me a little kick in the pants to keep up on stuff.

As I was building it, I realized that I was actually using the tool to build the tool, and figured I might as well put this out there and hopefully others will find it to be a fast and useful way to search and browse npm packages as I have.

If you’re interested in other things I’m working on, follow me on Twitter or check out the open source projects I’ve been publishing on GitHub.

I am also working on a Twitter bot for this site to tweet the most popular, newest, random packages from npm. Please follow that account now and it will start sending out packages soon–ish.

Open Software & Tools

This site wouldn’t be possible without the immense generosity and tireless efforts from the people who make contributions to the world and share their work via open source initiatives. Thank you 🙏

Overview

Utility sitting on top of redis queues to provide queue functionality

V2

New iteration of queue system works as an instanciating call and handles exceptions thrown by called methods to prevent queue from stopping.

A service instance is used as a factory of queues defined by their namespaces. The v2 service instance is created as follows:

const queues = require( '@openagenda/queues' );

const v2Queues = queues( {
  redis: aRedisClient,
  prefix: 'aprefixforallv2queues:'
} );

Getting a handle on an individual v2 queue is done by specifying its identifying namespace in a service instance call:

const q = v2Queues( 'queue_some_job_type' );

From there, two distinct scenarios take place:

  • When tasks are queued
  • When tasks are processed

Typically, each are called in different places of the application: the tasks can be queued from anywhere, they are typically processed in a script dedicated to job processing.

Where tasks are queued

Tasks can be queued anywhere in the application where their processing should be transfered to another script/ressource to limit load. This is done by specifying the name of the method to be called when the queue is processed, followed by the arguments to be passed to the function when it is processed:

q( 'methodName', methodArg1, methodArg2, methodArg3 );

q( 'otherMethod', otherMethodArg1 );

Where tasks are processed

All functions must be registered before they can be called:

const { methodName } = require( './someLib' );
const otherMethod = require( './otherMethod' ).bind( null, someConfig );

q.register( {
  methodName,
  otherMethod // other method is bound to a specific configuration
} );

The register function can be called multiple times and assigns passed functions to a single object.

Once functions are registered, a run method can be called to start processing jobs

q.run();

Tracking events

Track them by calling the .on method of the queue instance running the queued function calls. Events that can be tracked are execute which is called just before a function is executed after being unstacked, success is called when the function is done, error when functions throw an error:

q.on( 'error', ( registeredFunctionName, args, error ) => {
  // log it here
} );

How to use

Initialize the service by giving a prefix, a redis config:

const queues = require( '@openagenda/queues' );

queues.init( {
  redis: {
    host: 'localhost', // default
    port: 6379 // default
  },
  namespace: 'oaqueues', // default
  separator: ':' // default too!
} );

Instantiate a queue

const q = queues( 'bim' );

And depending on where you are, enqueue some data:

await q( { some: 'data' } );

Or pop some data

const data = await q.pop(); // you should get some data if it was enqueued

Or wait for something to appear in queue to pop it:

const data = await q.waitAndPop(); // this will hang until something shows up

Find out about the total number of items inside the queue at any time:

const total = await q.total();

Clear the queue if need be:

await q.clear();
