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 🙏

Readme

childprocess-queue

npm Version

Use childprocess module freely while limiting the amount of concurrent processes

Includes:

  • Limit how many processes are running at the same time. Additional processes will be queued.
  • Supports fork, spawn, exec, execFile with the usual signature, with exception of returning an id and not a ChildProcess.
  • Add an onCreate callback to the options that you pass, to get a notification when the process was created. One argument will be passed back, containing the ChildProcess instance.
  • Call newQueue to receive a separate queue that you can use like the main ChildProcessQueue object.
  • Call setMaxProcesses to set the maximum concurrent processes.
  • Call getMaxProcesses to get the maximum concurrent processes (defaults to 5).
  • Call getCurrentProcessCount to get the number of currently running processes.
  • Call getCurrentProcesses to get an array of the currently running processes.
  • Call getCurrentQueueSize to get the number of processes waiting in the queue.
  • Call removeFromQueue with an id to remove a pending process from the queue.

Installation:

npm install --save childprocess-queue
