avenue

library0.1.6jsnpmunverified

Avenue is a lightweight async/await event queue for Node.js, version 0.1.6. It provides a simple API for managing asynchronous event streams with backpressure support. Released infrequently, it is designed for scenarios where you need to process events in order with concurrency control. Compared to alternatives like `async.queue` or `p-queue`, Avenue focuses on simplicity and native async/await integration, but lacks extensive features and has not been updated in several years.

Code

Verified usage

Verified import paths — ran on the pinned version, not inferred.

Queue

✓ import { Queue } from 'avenue'

✗ const Queue = require('avenue').Queue

ESM named import; CJS destructured require also works but ESM is recommended.

default export (Queue)

✓ const Queue = require('avenue')

✗ import Queue from 'avenue'

The package does not have a default export in ESM; use named import or CJS require.

type Queue

✓ import type { Queue } from 'avenue'

TypeScript users should use the type import for type-only usage.

Shows creating a queue with concurrency 1, adding two async tasks, and waiting for the queue to drain.

import { Queue } from 'avenue'; const queue = new Queue({ concurrency: 1 }); async function main() { queue.push(async () => { console.log('Task 1'); await sleep(100); }); queue.push(async () => { console.log('Task 2'); await sleep(100); }); await queue.drain(); console.log('All done'); } function sleep(ms) { return new Promise(resolve => setTimeout(resolve, ms)); } main().catch(console.error);

Debug

Known issues

gotchaQueue constructor requires `new` keyword; omitting it throws a ReferenceError.

fix

Always use `new Queue(options)`.

affects: >=0.1.0

gotchaThe `concurrency` option defaults to 1, not unlimited. If you want unlimited concurrency, set `concurrency: Infinity`.

fix

Explicitly set `concurrency: Infinity` for unlimited concurrency.

affects: >=0.1.0

gotchaCalling `push` after `drain` has resolved will cause the promise to never settle.

fix

Do not call `push` after `drain`; or create a new Queue.

affects: >=0.1.0

deprecatedThe package has not been updated since 2017; consider using more actively maintained alternatives like `p-queue` or `async.queue`.

fix

Migrate to `p-queue` (ESM) or `async` (CJS).

affects: >=0.1.0

Errors

Common errors & fixes

ReferenceError: Queue is not defined

Forgot to import Queue or used wrong import style.

fix

Use `import { Queue } from 'avenue'` or `const Queue = require('avenue').Queue`.

TypeError: queue.push is not a function

Queue not instantiated with `new`.

fix

Instantiate with `new Queue()`.

Error: Cannot find module 'avenue'

Package not installed or wrong import path.

fix

Run `npm install avenue`.
