Vulpes Client

JavaScript job worker client for the Vulpes platform

About

Vulpes is a job management platform that requires workers to check for and receive work, and then for them to submit a result after attempting to do the work. Vulpes Client provides a simple API with which to perform these worker operations.

Usage

Usage is quite simple - create a Worker instance, connect it to a Vulpes API endpoint and start listening:

const { RemoteConnector, Worker } = require("vulpes-client");

const worker = new Worker(new RemoteConnector(API_URI));
worker.on("job", payload => startJob(payload.job));

Worker is an EventEmitter, and it emits job events when a job is ready to start. It will not emit more job events if a job is currently running on the worker. You can stop/complete a job by calling Job#stop with a result type and result payload.

Check out the API documentation for more information on class usage.
