A node.js event queue module.
I wrote this package before I really started to learn node.js. This package is exactly the same as the core module EventEmitter. So just ignore this one. It has been removed from npm packages.
Javascript is an event-driven programming language. Therefore your code is easy to have nested callbacks. This make your code less flexible.
With Queue you can push functions to a queue outside the function scope; execute the queued functions later even in different files. It makes your code easily to be more modularized.
- node >= 0.4.x
npm install queue
Require module.
var queue = require( 'queue' );
Push a function to a queue to be called later.
queue.add( 'queue_name', function( arg1, arg2, arg3 ){
// do something here
});
Get a queue.
queue.get( 'queue_name' );
Remove a function from a queue.
var some_function = function( arg1, arg2, arg3 ){
// some code
}
queue.remove( 'queue_name', 'some_function' );
Calling functions in a queue.
// You can pass as many arguments as you wish
queue.execute( 'queue_name', arg1, arg2, arg3 ... );
Calling functions in a queue and remove them after calling.
// You can pass as many arguments as you wish
queue.execute_and_clear( 'queue_name', arg1, arg2, arg3 ... );
Delete a queue.
queue.clear( 'queue_name' );
