Node.js - queue()

Creates a new Queue to send and receive asynchronous tasks.

import { queue } from '@nitric/sdk'

const batchQueue = queue('batch').for('sending')

Parameters

Access

All Nitric resources provide access permissions you can use to specify the level of access your code needs to the resource. See here for details about infrastructure security.

Available permissions:

sending

This permission allows your code to send new tasks to the queue.

receiving

This permission allows your code to receive tasks from the queue.

Notes

In most instances, code should either send to or receive from a queue, usually not both.

Examples

Create a Queue

import { queue } from '@nitric/sdk'

const batchQueue = queue('batch')

Receive tasks from a queue

import { queue } from '@nitric/sdk'

const payload = {}
const batchQueue = queue('batch').for('receiving')

const tasks = await batchQueue.receive()
