createQueuer
Function: createQueuer()
function createQueuer<TValue>(initialOptions): SolidQueuer<TValue>
function createQueuer<TValue>(initialOptions): SolidQueuer<TValue>
Defined in: queuer/createQueuer.ts:102
A Solid hook that creates and manages a Queuer instance.
This is a lower-level hook that provides direct access to the Queuer's functionality without any built-in state management. This allows you to integrate it with any state management solution you prefer (createSignal, Redux, Zustand, etc.) by utilizing the onItemsChange callback.
For a hook with built-in state management, see createQueuerSignal.
The Queuer extends the base Queue to add processing capabilities. Items are processed synchronously in order, with optional delays between processing each item. The queuer includes an internal tick mechanism that can be started and stopped, making it useful as a scheduler. When started, it will process one item per tick, with an optional wait time between ticks.
By default uses FIFO (First In First Out) behavior, but can be configured for LIFO (Last In First Out) by specifying 'front' position when adding items.

Example
// Example with custom state management and scheduling
const [items, setItems] = createSignal([]);
const queue = createQueuer({
started: true, // Start processing immediately
wait: 1000, // Process one item every second
onItemsChange: (queue) => setItems(queue.getAllItems()),
getPriority: (item) => item.priority // Process higher priority items first
});
// Add items to process - they'll be handled automatically
queue.addItem('task1');
queue.addItem('task2');
// Control the scheduler
queue.stop(); // Pause processing
queue.start(); // Resume processing
// Access queue state via signals
console.log('Items:', queue.allItems());
console.log('Size:', queue.size());
console.log('Is empty:', queue.isEmpty());
console.log('Is running:', queue.isRunning());
console.log('Next item:', queue.peek());
