This repository contains an example of pratical use of the Bull queue management system.

This app is not Docker based, so you should install Node.js.

Node.js >= 10.x

Bull needs the Redis service to store and manage its jobs and messages. So, we can easily install Redis using Docker:

    docker run --name my_redis_container -d -p 6379:6379 -i -t redis:alpine

We're using nodemailer as a library to send mail messages. Nodemailer supports several types of SMTP transport, like Ethereal (for testing purposes). To receive the Ethereal access credentials, please follow the steps below:

1. Access the Ethereal Website: (https://ethereal.email/);
2. Click in "Create Ethereal Account";
3. Add your email username and password to .env file:

EMAIL_USERNAME=<YOUR_EMAIL_USERNAME_HERE>
EMAIL_PASSWORD=<YOUR_PASSWORD_HERE>

4. Access this link (https://ethereal.email/messages) to open your mailbox.

1. Install the project dependencies using yarn.

    yarn install

2. Run the provided example using

    node src/index.js

OR

    yarn start

This examples comes with Arena installed, an interactive Web GUI for Bee Queue and Bull. With Arena we can view the queues, start/stop jobs, perform job retry, and more. Run Arena server using:

    yarn run-arena
