Introduction

rethinkdb-job-queue is a persistent job or task queue backed by RethinkDB. It has been built as an alternative to the many queues available on NPM.

Please Star on GitHub / NPM and Watch for updates.

Quick Start

Installation

Note: You will need to install RethinkDB before you can use rethinkdb-job-queue.

npm install rethinkdb-job-queue --save

See the installation document for supported Node.js versions and workarounds.

Simple Example

{ try { let result = job.numerator / job.denominator // Do something with your result return next(null, result) } catch (err) { console.error(err) return next(err) } }) return q.addJob(job).catch((err) => { console.error(err) }) ">const Queue = require('rethinkdb-job-queue')
const qOptions = {
name: 'Mathematics' // The queue and table name
}
const cxnOptions = {
db: 'JobQueue', // The name of the database in RethinkDB
}

const q = new Queue(cxnOptions, qOptions)

const job = q.createJob({
numerator: 123,
denominator: 456
})

q.process((job, next) => {
try {
let result = job.numerator / job.denominator
// Do something with your result
return next(null, result)
} catch (err) {
console.error(err)
return next(err)
}
})

return q.addJob(job).catch((err) => {
console.error(err)
})

E-Mail Job Example using nodemailer

', // Sender address subject: 'Registration', // Subject line text: 'Click here to complete your registration', // Plaintext body html: 'Click here to complete your registration' // HTML body } // rethinkdb-job-queue configuration const Queue = require('rethinkdb-job-queue') // Queue options have defaults and are not required const qOptions = { name: 'RegistrationEmail', // The queue and table name masterInterval: 310000, // Database review period in milliseconds changeFeed: true, // Enables events from the database table concurrency: 100, removeFinishedJobs: 2592000000, // true, false, or number of milliseconds } // Connection options have defaults and are not required // You can replace these options with a rethinkdbdash driver object const cxnOptions = { host: 'localhost', port: 28015, db: 'JobQueue', // The name of the database in RethinkDB } // This is the main queue instantiation call const q = new Queue(cxnOptions, qOptions) // Customizing the default job options for new jobs q.jobOptions = { priority: 'normal', timeout: 300000, retryMax: 3, // Four attempts, first then three retries retryDelay: 600000 // Time in milliseconds to delay retries } const job = q.createJob() // The createJob method will only create the job locally. // It will need to be added to the queue. // You can decorate the job with any data to be saved for processing job.recipient = 'batman@batcave.com' q.process((job, next) => { // Send email using job.recipient as the destination address mailOptions.to = job.recipient return transporter.sendMail(mailOptions).then((info) => { console.dir(info) return next(null, info) }).catch((err) => { // This catch is for nodemailer sendMail errors. return next(err) }) }) return q.addJob(job).then((savedJobs) => { // savedJobs is an array of the jobs added with updated properties }).catch((err) => { console.error(err) }) ">// The following is not related to rethinkdb-job-queue.
// This is the nodemailer configuration
const nodemailer = require('nodemailer')
const transporter = nodemailer.createTransport({
service: 'Mailgun',
auth: {
user: 'postmaster@superheros.com',
pass: 'your-api-key-here'
}
})

// Setup e-mail data with unicode symbols
var mailOptions = {
from: '"Registration" ', // Sender address
subject: 'Registration', // Subject line
text: 'Click here to complete your registration', // Plaintext body
html: 'Click here to complete your registration' // HTML body
}

// rethinkdb-job-queue configuration
const Queue = require('rethinkdb-job-queue')

// Queue options have defaults and are not required
const qOptions = {
name: 'RegistrationEmail', // The queue and table name
masterInterval: 310000, // Database review period in milliseconds
changeFeed: true, // Enables events from the database table
concurrency: 100,
removeFinishedJobs: 2592000000, // true, false, or number of milliseconds
}

// Connection options have defaults and are not required
// You can replace these options with a rethinkdbdash driver object
const cxnOptions = {
host: 'localhost',
port: 28015,
db: 'JobQueue', // The name of the database in RethinkDB
}

// This is the main queue instantiation call
const q = new Queue(cxnOptions, qOptions)

// Customizing the default job options for new jobs
q.jobOptions = {
priority: 'normal',
timeout: 300000,
retryMax: 3, // Four attempts, first then three retries
retryDelay: 600000 // Time in milliseconds to delay retries
}

const job = q.createJob()
// The createJob method will only create the job locally.
// It will need to be added to the queue.
// You can decorate the job with any data to be saved for processing
job.recipient = 'batman@batcave.com'

q.process((job, next) => {
// Send email using job.recipient as the destination address
mailOptions.to = job.recipient
return transporter.sendMail(mailOptions).then((info) => {
console.dir(info)
return next(null, info)
}).catch((err) => {
// This catch is for nodemailer sendMail errors.
return next(err)
})
})

return q.addJob(job).then((savedJobs) => {
// savedJobs is an array of the jobs added with updated properties
}).catch((err) => {
console.error(err)
})

About the Owner

I, Grant Carthew, am a technologist, trainer, and Dad from Queensland, Australia. I work on code in a number of personal projects and when the need arises I build my own packages.

This project exists because there were no functional job queues built on the RethinkDB database. I wanted an alternative to the other job queues on NPM.

Everything I do in open source is done in my own time and as a contribution to the open source community.

If you are using my projects and would like to thank me or support me, please click the Patreon link below.
