jquery queue ajax,Queue ajax requests using jQuery.queue()

just another example of a multi threaded queue runner i wrote for nodejs. You could adapt it to jquery or angular. Promises are slightly different in each API. I've used this pattern for things like extracting all items from large lists in SharePoint by creating multiple queries to fetch all data and allowing 6 at a time, to avoid server-imposed throttling limits.

/*

Job Queue Runner (works with nodejs promises): Add functions that return a promise, set the number of allowed simultaneous threads, and then run

(*) May need adaptation if used with jquery or angular promises

Usage:

var sourcesQueue = new QueueRunner('SourcesQueue');

sourcesQueue.maxThreads = 1;

childSources.forEach(function(source) {

sourcesQueue.addJob(function() {

// Job function - perform work on source

});

}

sourcesQueue.run().then(function(){

// Queue complete...

});

*/

var QueueRunner = (function () {

function QueueRunner(id) {

this.maxThreads = 1; // Number of allowed simultaneous threads

this.jobQueue = [];

this.threadCount = 0;

this.jobQueueConsumer = null;

this.jobsStarted = 0;

if(typeof(id) !== 'undefined') {

this.id = id;

}

else {

this.id = 'QueueRunner';

}

}

QueueRunner.prototype.run = function () {

var instance = this;

return new Promise(function(resolve, reject) {

instance.jobQueueConsumer = setInterval(function() {

if(instance.threadCount < instance.maxThreads && instance.jobQueue.length > 0) {

instance.threadCount++;

instance.jobsStarted++;

// Remove the next job from the queue (index zero) and run it

var job = instance.jobQueue.splice(0, 1)[0];

logger.info(instance.id + ': Start job ' + instance.jobsStarted + ' of ' + (instance.jobQueue.length + instance.jobsStarted));

job().then(function(){

instance.threadCount--;

}, function(){

instance.threadCount--;

});

}

if(instance.threadCount < 1 && instance.jobQueue.length < 1) {

clearInterval(instance.jobQueueConsumer);

logger.info(instance.id + ': All jobs done.');

resolve();

}

}, 20);

});

};

QueueRunner.prototype.addJob = function (func) {

this.jobQueue.push(func);

};

return QueueRunner;

}());
