Job Planner 🤖
Simple and powerful task manager lib. Manage your processes' execution order with zero pain.
Installing
Using npm:
npm install job-planner
Using yarn:
yarn add job-planner
Example
Creating a plan with synchronous execution order and plain structure:
import { createPlan } from 'job-planner'
const planner = createPlan(({ sync }) => sync(
connectToDB,
runMigrations
))
planner()
Creating a plan with mixed behaviour, nested jobs and provided config:
import { createPlan } from 'job-planner'
const planner = createPlan(({ sync, parallel }) => sync(
runMigrations,
downloadDataUpdates,
parallel(
sendStatistic,
sync(
prepareUsageInfo,
sendUsageInfo
)
)
))
planner({
async executor(process) {
return process.startSyncProcess()
},
errorHandler(e) {
console.error(e)
}
})
Usage
Job
is a foundation block of the job-planner
. It contains a set of functions to call (processes) and represents
a type of execution flow that will be applied to provided processes.
Process
is a function or class method (depends on your execution strategy) that contains work
to perform. E.g., database connection, migrations, and a lot of other stuff that require some sort of execution order.
Two utility functions that are used to describe the plan are sync()
and parallel()
.
Sync
is a type of job in which processes will be called one by one after the finish of a previous process.
Parallel
is a type of job in which processes will be called simultaneously.
You can access them by calling createPlan
function or by importing them directly to a file:
import { createPlan } from 'job-planner'
createPlan(({ sync, parallel }) => parallel(
sync(
connectToDB,
runMigrations
),
performOtherStuff
))
// OR
import { sync, parallel, createPlan } from 'job-planner'
const setupDB = sync(
connectToDB,
runMigrations
)
const plan = parallel(
setupDB,
performOtherStuff
)
const planner = createPlan(() => plan)
Job can contain other jobs as well as processes. There are no limitations on the number of nested jobs, or its depth.
You can set up planner run with Config
object:
// Default values
const config = {
async executor(process) {
return process()
},
stopOnError: false,
errorHandler(e) {
throw e
}
}
Config.executor()
- function that handles how provided processes
will be called.
Config.stopOnError
- flag that determines whether to stop the execution of the whole plan when an error in one
of processes occurs or just pass it to errorHandler
and continue execution of the plan.
If
stopOnError
is set to true and exception was threwerrorHandler
will be called firstly and only after that execution of a plan will be stopped.
Config.errorHandler
- function that handles error that was raised from provided processes.
