Used by

Some notable organizations using BullMQ:

The gist

Install:

$ yarn add bullmq

Add jobs to the queue:

1import { Queue } from 'bullmq';
2
3const queue = new Queue('Paint');
4
5queue.add('cars', { color: 'blue' });

Process the jobs in your workers:

1import { Worker } from 'bullmq';
2
3const worker = new Worker('Paint', async job => {
4  if (job.name === 'cars') {
5    await paintCar(job.data.color);
6  }
7});

Listen to jobs for completion:

1import { QueueEvents } from 'bullmq';
2
3const queueEvents = new QueueEvents('Paint');
4
5queueEvents.on('completed', ({ jobId }) => {
6  console.log('done painting');
7});
8
9queueEvents.on(
10  'failed',
11  ({ jobId, failedReason }: { jobId: string; failedReason: string }) => {
12    console.error('error painting', failedReason);
13  },
14);
