To create a new queue instance, use the createQueue method (like the example above). It has one parameter numberOfParallelTasks which is 1 by default. You can provide a higher value to run multiple tasks simultaneously.

• enqueuedTasks (property: array) contains the tasks that are waiting to be fired
• runningTasks (property: Task[]) contains the tasks that are currently running
• failedTasks (property: FailedTask[]) contains the failed tasks with meta info like the error
• isRunning (method: boolean) indicates if the queue is running
