TaskLoopPredicates

The two predicates that steer a task loop: is there work ready? and are we done? These are the parts of the loop a caller legitimately overrides, as opposed to the task itself (runTaskFunction), which the loop's driver owns.

optionalisFinishedFunction

isFinishedFunction?: () => Promise<boolean>

A function that is called only when there are no tasks to be processed. If it resolves to true then the run finishes. Being called only when there are no tasks being processed means that as long as isTaskReadyFunction() keeps resolving to true, isFinishedFunction() will never be called.

Type declaration

    • (): Promise<boolean>

    • Returns Promise<boolean>

optionalisTaskReadyFunction

isTaskReadyFunction?: () => Promise<boolean>

A function that indicates whether runTaskFunction should be called. This function is called every time there is free capacity for a new task and it should indicate whether it should start a new task or not by resolving to either true or false. Besides its obvious use, it is also useful for task throttling to save resources.

Type declaration

    • (): Promise<boolean>

    • Returns Promise<boolean>
