quicktask

library1.2.0jsnpmunverified

Tiny cross-environment microtask queue scheduler (~1kB). Version 1.2.0 (stable, no recent updates). Falls back through queueMicrotask, setImmediate, process.nextTick, setTimeout. Smaller than similar libraries like nanotask, and works in browsers, Node.js, Deno, and other JS runtimes. TypeScript declarations included. Not recommended over native queueMicrotask for modern environments.

Code

Verified usage

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

quicktask

✓ import quicktask from 'quicktask'

✗ const quicktask = require('quicktask')

ESM is the recommended module system; TypeScript types work with import.

default

✓ import quicktask from 'quicktask'

✗ import { quicktask } from 'quicktask'

The package has a default export; named export does not exist.

schedule

✓ const schedule = quicktask(); schedule(fn)

✗ const schedule = new quicktask()

quicktask() returns a function, not a class instance.

Creates a microtask scheduler and queues a function to run before the next event loop iteration.

import quicktask from 'quicktask'; const schedule = quicktask(); schedule(() => { console.log('Hello from microtask!'); }); console.log('This runs first');

Debug

Known issues

gotchaQuicktask is unnecessary in modern Node.js (>=11) and browsers that support queueMicrotask. Use native queueMicrotask directly for better performance.

fix

Replace with native queueMicrotask or Promise.then().

affects: all

gotchaThe schedule function queues microtasks, but if you schedule from within a microtask, they may be batched differently. Not suitable for strict microtask ordering guarantees.

fix

Use queueMicrotask directly for precise microtask execution.

Errors

Common errors & fixes
