A lib to run concurrent tasks in a controlled pace
npm install concurrent-task-runner
A lib to run concurrent promises in a controlled pace and number
It uses P-Queue to control the number of executed promises, but with a more restrictive scenario: all the promises are of the same type
* Instantiate ConcurrentTaskRunner like this:
``typescript`
const taskRunner = new ConcurrentTaskRunner(entities, 10, doWork)
Where doWork is function that receives an element of entities and returns a Promise and 10 is the number of maximum concurrent tasks. Then, just make it run:
`typescript`
await taskRunner.run();
That's it! You're done!
You can indicate to COncurrentTaskRunner that some promises must not be parallelized. How?
* You need to, first, guarantee that entities is ordered in such a way that all non parallelizable elements are together!
* Inform a fourth parameter: a function that receives an element of entities and returns an grouping id. This id will be used by ConcurrentTaskRunner to know when the non parallelizable tasks of the current round has ended;
* doWork can also receives a second parameter: cache. It's starts as an empty object, and you can fill it with whathever you want to use between calls of the non parallelizable sequence;
Example:
`typescript``
const taskRunner = new ConcurrentTaskRunner(entities, 10, doWork, (x) => x.groupId);
