# easy-stack Is Great for any javascript stack (LIFO)
|
|
|
|
JS Stacks are different from queues because they are LIFO (last in first out) unlike a queue which is FIFO (first in first out). While a Queue executes in order, a stack executes whatever was most recently added to the stack, much like a reading a stack of papers on your desk. If you read half the papers and someone puts more on the top you start with the new ones first.
|
|
|
|
1. socket messages
|
|
2. priority async operations
|
|
3. priority synchronous operations
|
|
4. stacks you want to start running automatically when you add new items
|
|
5. any simple or complex stack operations
|
|
6. base class to extend
|
|
7. anything else that needs a stack
|
|
|
|
|
|
# Stable and easy to use
|
|
Works great in node.js, webpack, browserify, or any other commonjs loader or compiler. To use in plain old vanilla browser javascript without common js just replace the requires in the examples with script tags. We show that below too. Any time you need a JS stack easy-stack is there for you.
|
|
|
|
` require('easy-stack'); ` for ES6 node.
|
|
` require('easy-stack/es5.js'); ` for ES5 node and browser.
|
|
|
|
**npm install easy-stack**

|
|key|type|parameters|default|description|

|----|----|----|----|----|
|
|
|add|function|any number of functions| |adds all parameter functions to stack and starts execution if autoRun is true, stack is not already running and stack is not forcibly stopped |

|
### Basic stack use in node, react, browserify, webpack or any other commonjs implementation
|
|
|
|
```javascript
|
|
|
|
var Stack=require('easy-stack');
|
|
//create a new Stack instance
|
|
var stack=new Stack;
|
|
|
|
for(var i=0; i<50; i++){
|
|
//add a bunch of stuff to the stack
|
|
stack.add(makeRequest);
|
|
}
|
|
|
|
function makeRequest(){
|
|
//do stuff
|
|
console.log('making some request');
|
|
|
|
this.next();
|
|
}
|
|
|
|
```
|
|
|
|
### Basic browser use
|
|
|
|
The only difference is including via a script tag instead of using require.
|
|
|
|
```html
|
|
|
|
<html>
|
|
<head>
|
|
<!-- this is the only difference -->
|
|
<script src='./es5.js'></script>
|
|
<script>
|
|
console.log('my awesome app script');
|
|
var stack=new Stack;
|
|
|
|
for(var i=0; i<50; i++){
|
|
stack.add(makeRequest);
|
|
}
|
|
|
|
function makeRequest(){
|
|
console.log('making some request');
|
|
|
|
this.next();
|
|
}
|
|
</script>
|
|
</head>
|
|
<body>
|
|
</body>
|
|
</html>
|
|
|
|
```
|
|
|
|
### Basic use with websockets in node, react, browserify, webpack or any other commonjs implementation
|
|
|
|
This allows you to start adding requests immediately and only execute if the websocket is connected. To use in plain browser based JS without webpack or browserify just replace the requires with the script tag.
|
|
|
|
```javascript
|
|
|
|
var Stack=require('easy-stack');
|
|
|
|
//ws-share just makes it easier to share websocket code and ensure you don't open a websocket more than once
|
|
var WS=require('ws-share');
|
|
|
|
//js-message makes it easy to create and parse normalized JSON messages.
|
|
var Message=require('js-message');
|
|
|
|
//create a new Stack instance
|
|
var stack=new Stack;
|
|
|
|
//force stop until websocket opened
|
|
stack.stop=true;
|
|
|
|
var ws=null;
|
|
|
|
function startWS(){
|
|
//websocket.org rocks
|
|
ws=new WS('wss://echo.websocket.org/?encoding=text');
|
|
|
|
ws.on(
|
|
'open',
|
|
function(){
|
|
ws.on(
|
|
'message',
|
|
handleResponse
|
|
);
|
|
|
|
//now that websocket is opened allow auto execution
|
|
stack.stop=false;
|
|
stack.next();
|
|
}
|
|
);
|
|
|
|
ws.on(
|
|
'error',
|
|
function(err){
|
|
//stop execution of stack if there is an error because the websocket is likely closed
|
|
stack.stop=true;
|
|
//remove remaining items in the stack
|
|
stack.clear();
|
|
throw(err);
|
|
}
|
|
);
|
|
|
|
ws.on(
|
|
'close',
|
|
function(){
|
|
//stop execution of stack when the websocket closed
|
|
stack.stop=true;
|
|
}
|
|
);
|
|
}
|
|
|
|
//simulate a lot of requests being stackd up for the websocket
|
|
for(var i=0; i<50; i++){
|
|
stack.add(makeRequest);
|
|
}
|
|
|
|
var messageID=0;
|
|
|
|
function handleResponse(e){
|
|
var message=new Message;
|
|
message.load(e.data);
|
|
|
|
console.log(message.type,message.data);
|
|
}
|
|
|
|
function makeRequest(){
|
|
messageID++;
|
|
var message=new Message;
|
|
message.type='testMessage';
|
|
message.data=messageID;
|
|
|
|
ws.send(message.JSON);
|
|
|
|
this.next();
|
|
}
|
|
|
|
startWS();
|
|
|
|
```
