This is a simple demo application that shows how to use BullMQ, a popular job processing library for Node.js, with a user interface.

• Node.js (version 14 or higher)
• Redis (version 6 or higher)

git clone https://github.com/your-username/bullmqdemo.git
cd bullmqdemo

Install the dependencies:

npm install

Start the Redis server:

docker run -p 6379:6379 -d redis:6.2.6

Or, if you have Redis installed locally, start the Redis server using your preferred method.

Run the Express server and worker:

node start.js

This command will run both the server and the worker concurrently.

Access the BullMQ UI:

Open your browser and navigate to http://localhost:3000/admin/queues.

Usage Adding Jobs To add a job to the queue, send a POST request to http://localhost:3000/addJob with a JSON body containing the job data:

curl -X POST -H "Content-Type: application/json" -d '{"jobData": "test"}' http://localhost:3000/addJob

Viewing Jobs To view the jobs in the queue, access the BullMQ UI at http://localhost:3000/admin/queues.

Worker The worker is responsible for processing the jobs in the queue. It listens for new jobs and processes them as they become available.

Technologies Used BullMQ: A popular job processing library for Node.js. Express: A web framework for Node.js. TypeScript: A statically typed superset of JavaScript. Redis: An in-memory data structure store, used as a database, cache, and message broker. WebSocket: A protocol for real-time communication between a client and a server.
