bee-queue-ui

library0.2.2jsnpmunverified

Bee-Queue-UI is a web-based front-end interface for the Bee-Queue job manager, which itself is a Redis-backed job queue for Node.js. Version 0.2.2 is the current stable release; the package appears to be in maintenance mode with no recent updates. It provides a dashboard to monitor and manage Bee-Queue jobs, similar to how Matador works with Bull. It differs from alternatives like Bull Board by targeting the Bee-Queue ecosystem and being a lightweight Express-based UI. Note: the project is derived from Matador and has not seen active development since 2016, so consider it for legacy systems only.

Install & Compatibility

Code

Verified usage

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

app

✓ const app = require('bee-queue-ui/app')(options);

✗ import app from 'bee-queue-ui/app';

The package uses CommonJS (`require`) and exports a factory function, not a default import. Use `require` instead of ES import.

options

✓ const options = { redis: { host: 'localhost', port: 6379 } }; const app = require('bee-queue-ui/app')(options);

✗ require('bee-queue-ui');

The entry point is `bee-queue-ui/app`, not `bee-queue-ui` itself. The factory function takes an optional options object.

bee-queue-ui

✓ const app = require('bee-queue-ui/app')({ redis: { host: process.env.REDIS_HOST || 'localhost', port: process.env.REDIS_PORT || 6379 } });

✗ const beeQueueUI = require('bee-queue-ui');

There is no default export from the package root; you must require the `/app` submodule.

Starts the Bee-Queue-UI web server with Redis connection options and listens on port 1337 for the dashboard.

Debug

Known issues

deprecatedThis package is unmaintained since 2016 and relies on outdated dependencies (e.g., Q promises, KnockoutJS).

fix

Consider using alternatives like Bull Board or building a custom UI for modern Bee-Queue.

affects: *

breakingThe package requires a separate Bee-Queue job manager and Redis instance; it does not install those for you.

fix

Ensure bee-queue and redis are installed and running before using this UI.

affects: *

gotchaThe entry point is 'bee-queue-ui/app', not 'bee-queue-ui'. Using require('bee-queue-ui') returns undefined.

fix

Use require('bee-queue-ui/app') directly.

affects: *

gotchaThe documentation suggests using var and function syntax; modern JavaScript with const/arrow functions may cause errors in the library's context.

fix

Stick to the documented patterns or test carefully when refactoring.

Errors

Common errors & fixes

Cannot find module 'bee-queue-ui'

Requiring the main package 'bee-queue-ui' instead of the submodule 'bee-queue-ui/app'.

fix

Use require('bee-queue-ui/app') instead of require('bee-queue-ui').

Error: Redis connection to 127.0.0.1:6379 failed - connect ECONNREFUSED

Redis is not running or not accessible at the specified host/port.

fix

Start Redis: redis-server, or check the connection configuration.

TypeError: require(...) is not a function

Calling require('bee-queue-ui') as a function, but it returns undefined.

fix

Use require('bee-queue-ui/app')(options) to get the factory function.
