jsut-tasks

just-tasks is a very simple module to run 'tasks'. In essence it's just a rename of node's own EventEmitter interface, with semantics to match its function.

Installation

node install just-tasks

Usage

The module just renames the event emitter's default methods so you can use the following:

• TaskRunner.task(name, function): Create a new task with the specified name (alias of EventEmitter's on)
• TaskRunner.taskOnce(name, function): Create a new single use task with the specified name (alias of EventEmitter's once)
• TaskRunner.run(name[, args]): Run the task with the specified name and the given arguments (alias of EventEmitter's emit)

Example

var TaskRunner = require('just-tasks');
 
// Create a new task
TaskRunner.task('print.welcome', function(name) {
    console.log('Welcome, %s!', name);
});
 
// Now, maybe from somewhere else (TaskRunner is a singleton), run the task
TaskRunner.run('print.welcome', 'Michael');

Of course you can also use callbacks as you're used to in node.
