Queuex is a Priority Queue.

These backends are supported:

1. List (Queuex.Backends.List)
2. Red-black tree (Queue.Backends.RedBlackTree)

Usage

1. Define your queue module.

defmodule MyQueue do
  use Queuex, max_num: 3, worker: :my_worker

  def my_worker(term) do
    :timer.sleep(10000)
    term |> IO.inspect
  end
end

2. supervise your queue module

[ MyQueue.child_spec
  ... # your other supervisor or worker
] |> supervise strategy: :one_for_one

3. push term to queue

MyQueue.push(priority, term)
MyQueue.push(term) # push term with default priority

Options

:max_num: integer, max worker numbers

:worker: atom, function to process term

:backend: queue backend, Queuex.Backends.List(default) or Queuex.Backends.RedBlackTree

:unique: boolean, whether repeated term is allowned in queue
