# Async-Limiter
|
|
|
|
A module for limiting concurrent asynchronous actions in flight. Forked from [queue](https://github.com/jessetane/queue).
|
|
|
|
[](http://www.npmjs.org/async-limiter)
|
|
[](https://travis-ci.org/STRML/async-limiter)
|
|
[](https://coveralls.io/r/STRML/async-limiter)
|
|
|
|
This module exports a class `Limiter` that implements some of the `Array` API.
|
|
Pass async functions (ones that accept a callback or return a promise) to an instance's additive array methods.
|
|
|
|
## Motivation
|
|
|
|
Certain functions, like `zlib`, have [undesirable behavior](https://github.com/nodejs/node/issues/8871#issuecomment-250915913) when
|
|
run at infinite concurrency.
|
|
|
|
In this case, it is actually faster, and takes far less memory, to limit concurrency.
|
|
|
|
This module should do the absolute minimum work necessary to queue up functions. PRs are welcome that would
|
|
make this module faster or lighter, but new functionality is not desired.
|
|
|
|
Style should confirm to nodejs/node style.
|
|
|
|
## Example
|
|
|
|
``` javascript
|
|
var Limiter = require('async-limiter')
|
|
|
|
var t = new Limiter({concurrency: 2});
|
|
var results = []
|
|
|
|
// add jobs using the familiar Array API
|
|
t.push(function (cb) {
|
|
results.push('two')
|
|
cb()
|
|
})
|
|
|
|
t.push(
|
|
function (cb) {
|
|
results.push('four')
|
|
cb()
|
|
},
|
|
function (cb) {
|
|
results.push('five')
|
|
cb()
|
|
}
|
|
)
|
|
|
|
t.unshift(function (cb) {
|
|
results.push('one')
|
|
cb()
|
|
})
|
|
|
|
t.splice(2, 0, function (cb) {
|
|
results.push('three')
|
|
cb()
|
|
})
|
|
|
|
// Jobs run automatically. If you want a callback when all are done,
|
|
// call 'onDone()'.
|
|
t.onDone(function () {
|
|
console.log('all done:', results)
|
|
})
|
|
```
|
|
|
|
## Zlib Example
|
|
|
|
```js
|
|
const zlib = require('zlib');
|
|
const Limiter = require('async-limiter');
|
|
|
|
const message = {some: "data"};
|
|
const payload = new Buffer(JSON.stringify(message));
|
|
|
|
// Try with different concurrency values to see how this actually
|
|
// slows significantly with higher concurrency!
|
|
//
|
|
// 5: 1398.607ms
|
|
// 10: 1375.668ms
|
|
// Infinity: 4423.300ms
|
|
//
|
|
const t = new Limiter({concurrency: 5});
|
|
function deflate(payload, cb) {
|
|
t.push(function(done) {
|
|
zlib.deflate(payload, function(err, buffer) {
|
|
done();
|
|
cb(err, buffer);
|
|
});
|
|
});
|
|
}
|
|
|
|
console.time('deflate');
|
|
for(let i = 0; i < 30000; ++i) {
|
|
deflate(payload, function (err, buffer) {});
|
|
}
|
|
t.onDone(function() {
|
|
console.timeEnd('deflate');
|
|
});
|
|
```
|
|
|
|
## Install
|
|
|
|
`npm install async-limiter`
|
|
|
|
## Test
|
|
|
|
`npm test`
|
|
|
|
## API
|
|
|
|
### `var t = new Limiter([opts])`
|
|
Constructor. `opts` may contain inital values for:
|
|
* `t.concurrency`
|
|
|
|
## Instance methods
|
|
|
|
### `t.onDone(fn)`
|
|
`fn` will be called once and only once, when the queue is empty.
|
|
|
|
## Instance methods mixed in from `Array`
|
|
Mozilla has docs on how these methods work [here](https://developer.mozilla.org/en-US/docs/Web/JavaScript/Reference/Global_Objects/Array).
|
|
### `t.push(element1, ..., elementN)`
|
|
### `t.unshift(element1, ..., elementN)`
|
|
### `t.splice(index , howMany[, element1[, ...[, elementN]]])`
|
|
|
|
## Properties
|
|
### `t.concurrency`
|
|
Max number of jobs the queue should process concurrently, defaults to `Infinity`.
|
|
|
|
### `t.length`
|
|
Jobs pending + jobs to process (readonly).
