kue-scheduler

Build Status Dependency Status npm version

A job scheduler utility for kue, backed by redis and built for node.js

Scheduling API is heavily inspired and borrowed from agenda and others.

Note!: expiry key notification are now enabled by default, if provided kue options has a permission to do so unless explicit disabled by passing skipConfig option when creating kue instance

Note!: kue-scheduler v0.6.0 is a refactored version of previous kue-scheduler to allow redis data structure and schedule queue best practice. API is the same but some of internal working may not work as previous ones

Requirements

  • Redis 2.8.0 or higher.

  • kue 0.10.5+

  • If kue-scheduler failed to enable keyspace notification(s) automatic, then you have to enable them using redis-cli

$ redis-cli config set notify-keyspace-events Ex

Installation

$ npm install --save kue kue-scheduler

Usage

Schedule a non unique job to run every after specified time interval

Use this if you want to maintain different(multiple) job instances on every run

Example schedule a job to run every two seconds from now

var kue = require('kue-scheduler');
var Queue = kue.createQueue();

//create a job instance
var job = Queue
            .createJob('every', data)
            .attempts(3)
            .backoff(backoff)
            .priority('normal');

//schedule it to run every 2 seconds
Queue.every('2 seconds', job);


//somewhere process your scheduled jobs
Queue.process('every', function(job, done) {
    ...
    done();
});

Schedule a unique job to run every after specified time interval

Use this if you want to maintain a single job instance on every run.

Example schedule a job to run every two seconds from now

var kue = require('kue-scheduler');
var Queue = kue.createQueue();

//create a job instance
var job = Queue
            .createJob('unique_every', data)
            .attempts(3)
            .backoff(backoff)
            .priority('normal')
            .unique('unique_every');

//schedule it to run every 2 seconds
Queue.every('2 seconds', job);


//somewhere process your scheduled jobs
Queue.process('unique_every', function(job, done) {
    ...
    done();
});

Schedule a non unique job to run only once after specified interval elapsed

Use this if you want to maintain different(multiple) job instances on every run

Example schedule a job to run only once two seconds from now

var kue = require('kue-scheduler');
var Queue = kue.createQueue();

//create a job instance
var job = Queue
            .createJob('schedule', data)
            .attempts(3)
            .backoff(backoff)
            .priority('normal');

//schedule it to run once 2 seconds from now
Queue.schedule('2 seconds from now', job);


//somewhere process your scheduled jobs
Queue.process('shedule', function(job, done) {
    ...
    done();
});

Schedule a unique job to run only once after specified interval elapsed

Use this if you want to maintain a single job instance on every run.

Example schedule a job to run only once two seconds from now

var kue = require('kue-scheduler');
var Queue = kue.createQueue();

//create a job instance
var job = Queue
            .createJob('unique_schedule', data)
            .attempts(3)
            .backoff(backoff)
            .priority('normal')
            .unique('unique_schedule');

//schedule it to run once 2 seconds from now
Queue.schedule('2 seconds from now', job);


//somewhere process your scheduled jobs
Queue.process('unique_shedule', function(job, done) {
    ...
    done();
});

Schedule a job to run now

var kue = require('kue-scheduler');
var Queue = kue.createQueue();

//create a job instance
var job = Queue
            .createJob('now', data)
            .attempts(3)
            .backoff(backoff)
            .priority('normal');

//schedule it to run now
Queue.now(job);


//somewhere process your scheduled jobs
Queue.process('now', function(job, done) {
    ...
    done();
});

API

clear(done)

Clear all kue and kue-scheduler redis data. Clean up if performed atomically with fail all or success all guarantee.

Example

var kue = require('kue-scheduler');
var Queue = kue.createQueue();

//perform cleanup
Queue.clear(fuction(error,response){
    ...
});

enableExpiryNotifications()

Enable redis key expiry notifications.

Example

var kue = require('kue-scheduler');
var Queue = kue.createQueue();

//enable expiry key notifications
Queue.enableExpiryNotifications();

every(interval, job, [done])

Runs a given job instance every after a given interval. If unique key is provided only single instance job will exists otherwise on every run new job istance will be used.

interval can either be a human-interval String format or a cron String format.

var kue = require('kue-scheduler');
var Queue = kue.createQueue();

//create a job instance
var job = Queue
            .createJob('every', data)
            .attempts(3)
            .backoff(backoff)
            .priority('normal');

//schedule it to run every 2 seconds
Queue.every('2 seconds', job);


//somewhere process your scheduled jobs
Queue.process('every', function(job, done) {
    ...
    done();
});

schedule(when, job)

Schedules a given job instance to run once at a given time. when can either be a Date instance or a date.js String such as tomorrow at 5pm. If unique key is provided only single instance job will exists otherwise on every run new job istance will be used.

var kue = require('kue-scheduler');
var Queue = kue.createQueue();

//create a job instance
var job = Queue
            .createJob('schedule', data)
            .attempts(3)
            .backoff(backoff)
            .priority('normal');

//schedule it to run once 2 seconds from now
Queue.schedule('2 seconds from now', job);


//somewhere process your scheduled jobs
Queue.process('shedule', function(job, done) {
    ...
    done();
});

now(job)

Schedules a given job instance to run once immediately.

var kue = require('kue-scheduler');
var Queue = kue.createQueue();

//create a job instance
var job = Queue
            .createJob('now', data)
            .attempts(3)
            .backoff(backoff)
            .priority('normal');

//schedule it to run now
Queue.now(job);

//somewhere process your scheduled jobs
Queue.process('now', function(job, done) {
    ...
    done();
});

remove([id|job|criteria], done)

Remove either scheduled job with its expiry key and schedule data or non-scheduled job. A criteria may contain jobExpiryKey, jobDataKey or unique identifier of the job in case of unique jobs

Example: Remove every schedule job

//using instance
Queue.remove(`<jobInstance>`, function(error, response) {
    ...
});

//using id
Queue.remove(`<jobId>`, function(error, response) {
    ...
});

//using criteria
Queue.remove({
    unique: 'every_mail'
}, function(error, response) {
    ...
});

Example: Remove scheduled or now job

//using instance
Queue.remove(`<jobInstance>`, function(error, response) {
    ...
});

//using id
Queue.remove(`<jobId>`, function(error, response) {
    ...
});

//using criteria
Queue.remove({
    unique: 'every_mail'
}, function(error, response) {
    ...
});

Events

Currently the only way to interact with kue-scheduler is through its events. kue-scheduler fires schedule error, schedule success, already scheduled,lock error, unlock error and scheduler unknown job expiry key events.

schedule error

Use it to interact with kue-scheduler to get notified when an error occur.

//listen on scheduler errors
Queue.on('schedule error', function(error) {
    ...
});

var job = Queue
    .createJob('now', data)
    .attempts(3)
    .backoff(backoff)
    .priority('normal');

Queue.now(job);

schedule success

Use it to interact with kue-scheduler to obtained instance of current scheduled job.

Note: Use this event to attach instance level job events

//listen on success scheduling
Queue.on('schedule success', function(job) {
    ...
});

var job = Queue
    .createJob('now', data)
    .attempts(3)
    .backoff(backoff)
    .priority('normal');

Queue.now(job);

already scheduled

Use it to interact with kue-scheduler to be notified if the current instance of job is unique and already schedule to run.

Note: Use this event to attach instance level job events

//listen alrady scheduled jobs
Queue.on('already scheduled', function(job) {
    ...
});

var job = Queue
    .createJob('now', data)
    .attempts(3)
    .backoff(backoff)
    .priority('normal');

Queue.now(job);

lock error

Use it to interact with kue-scheduler to get notified when a lock error occured.

//listen on scheduler errors
Queue.on('lock error', function(error) {
    ...
});

var job = Queue
    .createJob('now', data)
    .attempts(3)
    .backoff(backoff)
    .priority('normal');

Queue.now(job);

unlock error

Use it to interact with kue-scheduler to get notified when unlock error occured.

//listen on scheduler errors
Queue.on('unlock error', function(error) {
    ...
});

var job = Queue
    .createJob('now', data)
    .attempts(3)
    .backoff(backoff)
    .priority('normal');

Queue.now(job);

scheduler unknown job expiry key

Fired when kue-scheduler receive unknown key event from redis. Use it to be notified on unknown key(s) events.

Queue
    .on('scheduler unknown job expiry key', function(message) {

        expect(Queue._isJobExpiryKey(message)).to.be.false;

    });

##TODO

  • should be able to extend existing unique jobs with new job data
