Task Server in nodejs using kue
Make sure you have redis running. Install dependencies,
npm install
Kue comes with a fantastic UI. Open a terminal and cd to taskrr directory and run
node viewjobs
Then browse to localhost:3000. You can configure the port it 3000 is not available.
To create jobs and put them in queue (producer), open another terminal and run
node fakecreatejob
To process the jobs in queue (consumer), open another terminal and run
node fakeexecjob
You can run several consumer in parallel by running node fakeexecjob in multiple terminal. They will never conflict in which job is to process.
Check your browser for the realtime activity of your task server.
There are emailcreatejobs.js and emailexecjobs.js to demonstrate a basic email task using nodemailer.
Read the comments in fakecreatejob.js and fakeexecjob.js for more details.
