dq is a simple priority queue built on Redis.

npm install --save dq

alias: create()

1. config: Can take any of the following: a. name (required) b. port, defaults to 6379 c. host, defaults '127.0.0.1' d. password
2. callback: optional, has signature (err, q)

Example:

var dq = require('dq')

var q = dq.connect({name: 'tasks'})

// or...

dq.connect({name: 'tasks'}, function (err, q) {

})

• callback: has signature (err, count)

Example:

var dq = require('dq')

var q = dq.connect({name: 'tasks'})
q.count(function (err, count) {
  console.log(count) // => 1356
})

• callback: has signature (err, val)

val is an Array if count was specified.

Example:

var dq = require('dq')

var q = dq.connect({name: 'tasks'})
q.deq(function (err, val) {
  console.log(val)
})

• value: (required) data to put in the queue, should be a string, any non-string will be type coerced
• priority: (optional), defaults to 0, you should choose between 0 and 1 using the result of Math.random(). Values between -Infinity and Infinfity will be accepted.
• callback: has signature (err, val)

Example:

var dq = require('dq')

var q = dq.connect({name: 'tasks'})
q.enq('some data', Math.random(), function (err) { })

Return data from start until start + count, but don't remove the data.

example:

Assume the queue has the following contents: ['a', 'b', 'c', 'd']

var dq = require('dq')

dq.create({name: 'somedata'}, function (err, q) {
  q.peak(1, 2, function (err, data) {
    console.dir(data) // => ['b', 'c']
  })
})
