## 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";

						|
 | 
						|
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";
 | 
						|

 | 
						|

 | 
						|
  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)
 | 
						|
}

### 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'`.
