## API

### Class

1. [RxQueue](#rxqueue)
1. [DelayQueue](#delayqueue)
1. [ThrottleQueue](#throttlequeue)
1. [DebounceQueue](#debouncequeue)
1. [DelayQueueExecutor](#DelayQueueExecutor)

### Function

1. [concurrencyExecuter()](#concurrencyexecuter)

### RxQueue

`RxQueue` is the base class of all other queues. It extends from RxJS Subject.

**Example:**

```ts
import { RxQueue } from 'rx-queue'

const queue = new RxQueue()
queue.next(1)
queue.next(2)
queue.next(3)

queue.subscribe(console.log)
// Output: 1
// Output: 2
// Output: 3
```

### DelayQueue

`DelayQueue` passes all the items and add delays between items.

Practical examples of `DelayQueue`:

1. We are calling a HTTP API which can only be called no more than ten times per second, or it will throw a `500` error.

**Example:**

```ts
import { DelayQueue } from 'rx-queue'

const delay = new DelayQueue(500) // set delay period time to 500 milliseconds
delay.subscribe(console.log)

delay.next(1)
delay.next(2)
delay.next(3)

// Output: 1
// Paused 500 millisecond...
// Output: 2
// Paused 500 millisecond...
// Output: 3
```

### ThrottleQueue

`ThrottleQueue` passes one item and then drop all the following items in a period of time.

By using throttle, we don't allow to our queue to pass more than once every X milliseconds.

Practical examples of `ThrottleQueue`:

1. User is typing text in a textarea. We want to call auto-save function when user is typing, and want it only run at most once every five minutes.

**Example:**

```ts
import { ThrottleQueue } from 'rx-queue'

const throttle = new ThrottleQueue(500) // set period time to 500 milliseconds
throttle.subscribe(console.log)

throttle.next(1)
throttle.next(2)
throttle.next(3)

// Output: 1
```

### DebounceQueue

`DebounceQueue` drops a item if there's another one comes in a period of time.

![DebounceQueue](https://huan.github.io/rx-queue/images/debounce.png)
> Picture Credit: [ReactiveX Observable Debounce](http://reactivex.io/documentation/operators/debounce.html)

The Debounce technique allow us to deal with multiple sequential items in a time period to only keep the last one.

Debouncing enforces that no more items will be passed again until a certain amount of time has passed without any new items coming.

Practical examples of `DebounceQueue`:

1. User is typing text in a search box. We want to make an auto-complete function call only after the user stop typing for 500 milliseconds.

**Example:**

```ts
import { DebounceQueue } from 'rx-queue'

const debounce = new DebounceQueue(500) // set period time to 500 milliseconds
debounce.subscribe(console.log)

debounce.next(1)
debounce.next(2)
debounce.next(3)

// Paused 500 millisecond...
// Output: 3
```

### DelayQueueExecutor

`DelayQueueExecutor` calls functions one by one with a delay time period between calls.

![DelayQueueExecutor](https://huan.github.io/rx-queue/images/delay.png)
> Picture Credit: [ReactiveX Single Operator Delay](http://reactivex.io/documentation/single.html)

Practical examples of `DelayQueueExecutor`:

1. We are calling a HTTP API which can only be called no more than ten times per second, or it will throw a `500` error.

**Example:**

```ts
import { DelayQueueExecutor } from 'rx-queue'

const delay = new DelayQueueExecutor(500) // set delay period time to 500 milliseconds

delay.execute(() => console.log(1))
delay.execute(() => console.log(2))
delay.execute(() => console.log(3))

// Output: 1
// Paused 500 millisecond...
// Output: 2
// Paused 500 millisecond...
// Output: 3
```

### `concurrencyExecuter()`

When we have a array and need to use an async function to get the result of them, we can use `Promise.all()`:

```ts
const asyncTask = async function (item) {
/**
* Some heavy task, like:
* 1. requires XXX MB of memory
* 2. make 10+ new network connections and each takes 10+ seconds
* 3. etc.
*/
}

const result = await Promise.all(
hugeArray.map(item => asyncTask),
)
```

Because the above example `asyncTask` requires lots of resource for each task,
so if the `hugeArray` has many items, like 1,000+,
then to use the `Promise.all` will very likely to crash the system.

The solution is that we can use `concurrencyExecuter()` to execute them in parallel with a concurrency limitation.

```ts
// async task:
const heavyTask = (n: number) => Promise.resolve(resolve => setTimeout(resolve(n^2), 100))

const results = concurrencyExecuter(
2, // concurrency
)(
heavyTask, // task async function
)(
[1, 2, 3], // task arguments
)

/**
* in the following `for` loop, we will have 2 currency tasks running at the same time.
*/
for await (const result of results) {
console.log(result)
}
```

That's it.
