Obtained on node 12.16.1, on a dedicated server.

If you need zero-overhead series function call, check out
[fastseries](http://npm.im/fastseries). For zero-overhead parallel

## Install

`npm i fastq --save`

## Usage (callback API)

```js
'use strict'

const queue = require('fastq')(worker, 1)

queue.push(42, function (err, result) {
  if (err) { throw err }
  console.log('the result is', result)
})

function worker (arg, cb) {
  cb(null, arg * 2)
}
```

## Usage (promise API)

```js
const queue = require('fastq').promise(worker, 1)

async function worker (arg) {
  return arg * 2
}

async function run () {
  const result = await queue.push(42)
  console.log('the result is', result)
}

run()
```

### Setting "this"

```js
'use strict'

const that = { hello: 'world' }
const queue = require('fastq')(that, worker, 1)

queue.push(42, function (err, result) {
  if (err) { throw err }
  console.log(this)
  console.log('the result is', result)
})

function worker (arg, cb) {
  console.log(this)
  cb(null, arg * 2)
}
```

### Using with TypeScript (callback API)

```ts
'use strict'

import * as fastq from "fastq";
import type { queue, done } from "fastq";

type Task = {
  id: number
}

const q: queue<Task> = fastq(worker, 1)

q.push({ id: 42})

function worker (arg: Task, cb: done) {
  console.log(arg.id)
  cb(null)
}
```

### Using with TypeScript (promise API)

```ts
'use strict'

import * as fastq from "fastq";
import type { queueAsPromised } from "fastq";

type Task = {
  id: number
}

const q: queueAsPromised<Task> = fastq.promise(asyncWorker, 1)

q.push({ id: 42}).catch((err) => console.error(err))

async function asyncWorker (arg: Task): Promise<void> {
  // No need for a try-catch block, fastq handles errors automatically
  console.log(arg.id)
}
```

<a name="fastqueue"></a>
### fastqueue([that], worker, concurrency)

Creates a new queue.

Arguments:

* `that`, optional context of the `worker` function.
* `worker`, worker function, it would be called with `that` as `this`,
  if that is specified.
* `concurrency`, number of concurrent tasks that could be executed in
  parallel.

-------------------------------------------------------
<a name="push"></a>
### queue.push(task, done)

Add a task at the end of the queue. `done(err, result)` will be called
when the task was processed.

-------------------------------------------------------
<a name="unshift"></a>
### queue.unshift(task, done)

Add a task at the beginning of the queue. `done(err, result)` will be called
when the task was processed.

-------------------------------------------------------
<a name="pause"></a>
### queue.pause()

Pause the processing of tasks. Currently worked tasks are not
stopped.

-------------------------------------------------------
<a name="resume"></a>
### queue.resume()

Resume the processing of tasks.

-------------------------------------------------------
<a name="idle"></a>
### queue.idle()

Returns `false` if there are tasks being processed or waiting to be processed.
`true` otherwise.

-------------------------------------------------------
<a name="length"></a>
### queue.length()

Returns the number of tasks waiting to be processed (in the queue).

-------------------------------------------------------
<a name="getQueue"></a>
### queue.getQueue()

Returns all the tasks be processed (in the queue). Returns empty array when there are no tasks

-------------------------------------------------------
<a name="kill"></a>
### queue.kill()

Removes all tasks waiting to be processed, and reset `drain` to an empty
function.

-------------------------------------------------------
<a name="killAndDrain"></a>
### queue.killAndDrain()

Same than `kill` but the `drain` function will be called before reset to empty.

-------------------------------------------------------
<a name="error"></a>
### queue.error(handler)

Set a global error handler. `handler(err, task)` will be called
when any of the tasks return an error.

-------------------------------------------------------
<a name="concurrency"></a>
### queue.concurrency

Property that returns the number of concurrent tasks that could be executed in
parallel. It can be altered at runtime.

-------------------------------------------------------
<a name="drain"></a>
### queue.drain

Function that will be called when the last
item from the queue has been processed by a worker.
It can be altered at runtime.

-------------------------------------------------------
<a name="empty"></a>
### queue.empty

Function that will be called when the last
item from the queue has been assigned to a worker.
It can be altered at runtime.

-------------------------------------------------------
<a name="saturated"></a>
### queue.saturated

Function that will be called when the queue hits the concurrency
limit.
It can be altered at runtime.

-------------------------------------------------------
<a name="promise"></a>
### fastqueue.promise([that], worker(arg), concurrency)

Creates a new queue with `Promise` apis. It also offers all the methods
and properties of the object returned by [`fastqueue`](#fastqueue) with the modified
[`push`](#pushPromise) and [`unshift`](#unshiftPromise) methods.

Node v10+ is required to use the promisified version.

Arguments:
* `that`, optional context of the `worker` function.
* `worker`, worker function, it would be called with `that` as `this`,
  if that is specified. It MUST return a `Promise`.
* `concurrency`, number of concurrent tasks that could be executed in
  parallel.

<a name="pushPromise"></a>
#### queue.push(task) => Promise

Add a task at the end of the queue. The returned `Promise`  will be fulfilled (rejected)
when the task is completed successfully (unsuccessfully).

This promise could be ignored as it will not lead to a `'unhandledRejection'`.

<a name="unshiftPromise"></a>
#### queue.unshift(task) => Promise

Add a task at the beginning of the queue. The returned `Promise`  will be fulfilled (rejected)
when the task is completed successfully (unsuccessfully).

This promise could be ignored as it will not lead to a `'unhandledRejection'`.

<a name="drained"></a>
#### queue.drained() => Promise

Wait for the queue to be drained. The returned `Promise` will be resolved when all tasks in the queue have been processed by a worker.

This promise could be ignored as it will not lead to a `'unhandledRejection'`.
