Getting Started

Express

pnpm install @queuedash/api

import express from "express";
import Bull from "bull";
import { createQueueDashExpressMiddleware } from "@queuedash/api";

const app = express();

const reportQueue = new Bull("report-queue");

app.use(
  "/queuedash",
  createQueueDashExpressMiddleware({
    ctx: {
      queues: [
        {
          queue: reportQueue,
          displayName: "Reports",
          type: "bull" as const,
        },
      ],
    },
  })
);

app.listen(3000, () => {
  console.log("Listening on port 3000");
  console.log("Visit http://localhost:3000/queuedash");
});

Next.js

pnpm install @queuedash/api @queuedash/ui

// pages/admin/queuedash/[[...slug]].tsx
import { QueueDashApp } from "@queuedash/ui";

function getBaseUrl() {
  if (process.env.VERCEL_URL) {
    return `https://${process.env.VERCEL_URL}/api/queuedash`;
  }

  return `http://localhost:${process.env.PORT ?? 3000}/api/queuedash`;
}

const QueueDashPages = () => {
  return <QueueDashApp apiUrl={getBaseUrl()} basename="/admin/queuedash" />;
};

export default QueueDashPages;

// pages/api/queuedash/[trpc].ts
import * as trpcNext from "@trpc/server/adapters/next";
import { appRouter } from "@queuedash/api";

const reportQueue = new Bull("report-queue");

export default trpcNext.createNextApiHandler({
  router: appRouter,
  batching: {
    enabled: true,
  },
  createContext: () => ({
    queues: [
      {
        queue: reportQueue,
        displayName: "Reports",
        type: "bull" as const,
      },
    ],
  }),
});

  ctx: QueueDashContext; // Context for the UI
};

type QueueDashContext = {
  queues: QueueDashQueue[]; // Array of queues to display
};

type QueueDashQueue = {
  queue: Bull.Queue | BullMQ.Queue | BeeQueue; // Queue instance

Roadmap

• Supports Celery and other queueing systems
• Command+K bar and shortcuts
• Ability to whitelabel the UI

Pro Version

Right now, QueueDash simply taps into your Redis instance, making it very easy to set up, but also limited in functionality.

I'm thinking about building a free-to-host version on top of this which will require external services (db, auth, etc.), but it will make the following features possible:

• Alerts and notifications
• Quick search and filtering
• Queue trends and analytics
• Invite team members

If you're interested in this version, please let me know!

Acknowledgements

QueueDash was inspired by some great open source projects. Here's a few of them:

• bull-board
• bull-monitor
• bull-arena
