### Quick Guide
#### Basic Usage
```js
const Queue = require('bull');
const videoQueue = new Queue('video transcoding', 'redis://127.0.0.1:6379');
const audioQueue = new Queue('audio transcoding', { redis: { port: 6379, host: '127.0.0.1', password: 'foobared' } }); // Specify Redis connection using object
const imageQueue = new Queue('image transcoding');
const pdfQueue = new Queue('pdf transcoding');
videoQueue.process(function (job, done) {
// job.data contains the custom data passed when the job was created
// job.id contains id of this job.
// transcode video asynchronously and report progress
job.progress(42);
// call done when finished
done();
// or give an error if error
done(new Error('error transcoding'));
// or pass it a result
done(null, { framerate: 29.5 /* etc... */ });
// If the job throws an unhandled exception it is also handled correctly
throw new Error('some unexpected error');
});
audioQueue.process(function (job, done) {
// transcode audio asynchronously and report progress
job.progress(42);
// call done when finished
done();
// or give an error if error
done(new Error('error transcoding'));
// or pass it a result
done(null, { samplerate: 48000 /* etc... */ });
// If the job throws an unhandled exception it is also handled correctly
throw new Error('some unexpected error');
});
imageQueue.process(function (job, done) {
// transcode image asynchronously and report progress
job.progress(42);
// call done when finished
done();
// or give an error if error
done(new Error('error transcoding'));
// or pass it a result
done(null, { width: 1280, height: 720 /* etc... */ });
// If the job throws an unhandled exception it is also handled correctly
throw new Error('some unexpected error');
});
pdfQueue.process(function (job) {
// Processors can also return promises instead of using the done callback
return pdfAsyncProcessor();
});
videoQueue.add({ video: 'http://example.com/video1.mov' });
audioQueue.add({ audio: 'http://example.com/audio1.mp3' });
imageQueue.add({ image: 'http://example.com/image1.tiff' });
```
#### Using promises
Alternatively, you can return promises instead of using the `done` callback:
```javascript
videoQueue.process(function (job) { // don't forget to remove the done callback!
// Simply return a promise
return fetchVideo(job.data.url).then(transcodeVideo);
// Handles promise rejection
return Promise.reject(new Error('error transcoding'));
// Passes the value the promise is resolved with to the "completed" event
return Promise.resolve({ framerate: 29.5 /* etc... */ });
// If the job throws an unhandled exception it is also handled correctly
throw new Error('some unexpected error');
// same as
return Promise.reject(new Error('some unexpected error'));
});
```
#### Separate processes
The process function can also be run in a separate process. This has several advantages:
- The process is sandboxed so if it crashes it does not affect the worker.
- You can run blocking code without affecting the queue (jobs will not stall).
- Much better utilization of multi-core CPUs.
- Less connections to redis.
In order to use this feature just create a separate file with the processor:
```js
// processor.js
module.exports = function (job) {
// Do some heavy work
return Promise.resolve(result);
}
```
And define the processor like this:
```js
// Single process:
queue.process('/path/to/my/processor.js');
// You can use concurrency as well:
queue.process(5, '/path/to/my/processor.js');
// and named processors:
queue.process('my processor', 5, '/path/to/my/processor.js');
```
#### Repeated jobs
A job can be added to a queue and processed repeatedly according to a cron specification:
```js
paymentsQueue.process(function (job) {
// Check payments
});
// Repeat payment job once every day at 3:15 (am)
paymentsQueue.add(paymentsData, { repeat: { cron: '15 3 * * *' } });
```
As a tip, check your expressions here to verify they are correct:
[cron expression generator](https://crontab.cronhub.io)
#### Pause / Resume
A queue can be paused and resumed globally (pass `true` to pause processing for
just this worker):
```js
queue.pause().then(function () {
// queue is paused now
});
queue.resume().then(function () {
// queue is resumed now
})
```
#### Events
A queue emits some useful events, for example...
```js
.on('completed', function (job, result) {
// Job completed with output result!
})
```
For more information on events, including the full list of events that are fired, check out the [Events reference](./REFERENCE.md#events)
#### Queues performance
Queues are cheap, so if you need many of them just create new ones with different
names:
```javascript
const userJohn = new Queue('john');
const userLisa = new Queue('lisa');
.
.
.
```
However every queue instance will require new redis connections, check how to [reuse connections](https://github.com/OptimalBits/bull/blob/master/PATTERNS.md#reusing-redis-connections) or you can also use [named processors](https://github.com/OptimalBits/bull/blob/master/REFERENCE.md#queueprocess) to achieve a similar result.
#### Cluster support
NOTE: From version 3.2.0 and above it is recommended to use threaded processors instead.
Queues are robust and can be run in parallel in several threads or processes
without any risk of hazards or queue corruption. Check this simple example
using cluster to parallelize jobs across processes:
```js
const Queue = require('bull');
const cluster = require('cluster');
const numWorkers = 8;
const queue = new Queue('test concurrent queue');
if (cluster.isMaster) {
for (let i = 0; i < numWorkers; i++) {
cluster.fork();
}
cluster.on('online', function (worker) {
// Let's create a few jobs for the queue workers
for (let i = 0; i < 500; i++) {
queue.add({ foo: 'bar' });
};
});
cluster.on('exit', function (worker, code, signal) {
console.log('worker ' + worker.process.pid + ' died');
});
} else {
queue.process(function (job, jobDone) {
console.log('Job done by worker', cluster.worker.id, job.id);
jobDone();
});
}
```

### Important Notes
The queue aims for an "at least once" working strategy. This means that in some situations, a job
could be processed more than once. This mostly happens when a worker fails to keep a lock
for a given job during the total duration of the processing.
When a worker is processing a job it will keep the job "locked" so other workers can't process it.
It's important to understand how locking works to prevent your jobs from losing their lock - becoming _stalled_ -
and being restarted as a result. Locking is implemented internally by creating a lock for `lockDuration` on interval
`lockRenewTime` (which is usually half `lockDuration`). If `lockDuration` elapses before the lock can be renewed,
the job will be considered stalled and is automatically restarted; it will be __double processed__. This can happen when:
1. The Node process running your job processor unexpectedly terminates.
2. Your job processor was too CPU-intensive and stalled the Node event loop, and as a result, Bull couldn't renew the job lock (see [#488](https://github.com/OptimalBits/bull/issues/488) for how we might better detect this). You can fix this by breaking your job processor into smaller parts so that no single part can block the Node event loop. Alternatively, you can pass a larger value for the `lockDuration` setting (with the tradeoff being that it will take longer to recognize a real stalled job).
As such, you should always listen for the `stalled` event and log this to your error monitoring system, as this means your jobs are likely getting double-processed.
As a safeguard so problematic jobs won't get restarted indefinitely (e.g. if the job processor always crashes its Node process), jobs will be recovered from a stalled state a maximum of `maxStalledCount` times (default: `1`).
