pateka - ordered parallel asynchronous tasks

travis npm version Coverage Status Known Vulnerabilities MIT Licence

Installation

$ npm install pateka

Usage

Creating a new pateka. By default a pateka will be created with (parallel) 256 tracks, each track than will be filled with async tasks based on their routing key. Tasks in the same track ( same routing key ) will be run in order, tracks will be run in parallel.

const Pateka = require('pateka');

const Pateka = new Pateka();

Setting the number of (parallel) tracks

You can chnage the default number of tracks by passing a tracks option to the constructor.

const Pateka = new Pateka({  tracks: 128 });

Adding tasks

Task are added with the add method. You will need to specify an id for the task, a task function, and a routingKey.

The routingKey will be used to spread tasks into tracks, ensuring that tasks with the same key are always run in the right order and sequence.

pateka.add({
	routingKey: 'order-1234', // shared between tasks that needs tp be run in sequence
	id: '713973e256ab63505cba325344d30dbb', // unique for this task
	async task () {
		// do some work on this order
	}
});

pateka.add({
  routingKey: 'order-1234', // shared between tasks that needs tp be run in sequence
  id: ' 2cd96bc0d5b0d2e6520ef04fa9f887b9', // unique for this task
  async task () {
		// do some additional work on this order, after the other work has fhinished
	}
});

Awaiting a task to be done

await pateka.add({
  routingKey: 'order-1234', // shared between tasks that needs tp be run in sequence
  id: ' 2cd96bc0d5b0d2e6520ef04fa9f887b9', // unique for this task
  async task () {
		// do some additional work on this order, after the other work has fhinished
	}
});
