jobqueue

Requirements

This project assumes you have MongoDB setup as well as Node.js installed. The required packages in this project are:

• mongoose
• Nodemon
• Express
• Request

Implementation

Database has the following schema:

url: { type: String, required: 'Enter a url' }, created: { type: Date, default: Date.now }, status: { type: [{ type: String, enum: ['pending', 'completed'] }], default: ['pending'] }, html: { type: String, default: null }

Every time a url is added, it is pending by default. When the user tells it to fetch the next one, it will find the oldest job and get the html from that site and let the user know that the status for that id is now complete. From there, the user can take the id and get the status or get that html. A user can specify which item to delete and it will be removed from the queue.
