TaskQueue

A ruby implementation of a simple dispatch queue using procs

Currently, TaskQueue only has api for dispatching tasks asynchronously.

Example

# Create a queue with as many workers as you want or 1 for a serial queue 
queue = TaskQueue.new(name: 'my concurrent queue', number_of_workers: 5)
task = Task.new(work_block: proc { 
  # some work to be done
})
queue.add_task_async(task: task)

# Or don't supply the number of workers and you'll only get 1, making it a serial queue 
queue = TaskQueue.new(name: 'my serial queue')
task = Task.new(work_block: proc { 
  # some work to be done
})
queue.add_task_async(task: task)
