# Task Queue Package
Task Queue Package is a simple Node.js package that provides functionality to create and manage a queue of tasks with a specified concurrency level.
## Installation
You can install the package via npm:
```bash
npm install task-queue-package
```
## Usage
```javascript
const TaskQueue = require('task-queue-package');
// Create an instance of TaskQueue with the desired concurrency level
const taskQueue = new TaskQueue(2);
// Define some example tasks
const tasks = [
(callback) => {
console.log('Task 1 started');
setTimeout(() => {
console.log('Task 1 completed');
callback();
}, 2000);
},
(callback) => {
console.log('Task 2 started');
setTimeout(() => {
console.log('Task 2 completed');
callback();
}, 1000);
},
(callback) => {
console.log('Task 3 started');
setTimeout(() => {
console.log('Task 3 completed');
callback();
}, 3000);
}
];
// Push tasks into the queue
tasks.forEach(task => {
taskQueue.pushTask(task);
});
```
## API
### `TaskQueue(concurrency)`
Creates a new instance of TaskQueue with the specified concurrency level.
- `concurrency` (number): The maximum number of tasks that can run concurrently.
### `pushTask(task)`
Pushes a task into the queue.
- `task` (function): A function representing the task to be executed. It should accept a callback function as its argument, which should be called once the task is complete.
