npm i --save qboss-lib

API

Create an instance

var q = new qboss({ folder: '/tmp', sqs })

depending on use case you might either define folder or sqs or both as options. if you want to pull, you need to instantiate a sqs object by using aws-sdk

Create Jobs

.compose : will only return a string as a job

.submit : will create a job inside folder directory which then will be picken up from qboss-client

Pull and Manage Jobs

.pull(QueueUrl) <Promise> : will pull a message form sqs and return a job object

Job Object

.delete() <Promise> : will delete the job from sqs

.getJob() : will only return the job part of the qboss message

.getMessage() : will return sqs message body

.getRaw() : development related

create jobs

var qboss = require('qboss-lib')

// init to create jobs
var q = new qboss({ folder: '/tmp/'})
var payload = {
    name:'john',
    lastname:'doe',
    type:'newperson'
}

// just output to console
console.log(q.compose('test.fifo','secret',payload))
// create a job inside /tmp
q.submit('test.fifo','secret',payload)

pulling jobs

var AWS = require('aws-sdk')
AWS.config.update({region: 'us-east-1'})
var sqs = new AWS.SQS({apiVersion: '2012-11-05',accessKeyId:"OR7R474F42F84FFFASPP",secretAccessKey:"0f7a54e0-e673-46f1-8846-c98f4b288b3a"});

// instantiate
var q = new qboss({
    sqs
})

// pull
q.pull('https://sqs.us-east-2.amazonaws.com/593153579764/test.fifo').then(async function (job) {
    console.log(job.getJob())
    // process
    ....
    // delete
    await job.delete()
}).catch(err=>{
    console.log(err)
})
