Barbeque for Node.js

Barbeque is Redis-based task queue library for Node.js, inspired by Celery and Kue.

$ npm install barbeque

Usage

var config = {
  // host: 'localhost'
  // port: 6379,
  // namespace: 'test'
}

Worker

var Barbeque = require('barbeque'),
    bbq = new Barbeque(config);

bbq.process('add', function (task, done) {
  done(null, task.data.x + task.data.y);
});

//--> New worker created that process `add` tasks.

Task

var Barbeque = require('barbeque'),
    bbq = new Barbeque(config);

bbq.create('add', {
  x: 2,
  y: 3

.listen()                  // listen to redis updates
.process(type, processfn)  // start a processor of a specific task type
.processAll(obj)           // obj: {key:type,val:data} and nestable
.query(query, cb)          // query: string id, array of string ids, or filter object
