Creating a ProcessQueue

  // Define your item type
  interface MyQueueItem {
    id: string | number;
    // other properties...
  }

  // Create a new ProcessQueue
  const queue = new ProcessQueue<MyQueueItem>();

Adding Items to the Queue

  const item: MyQueueItem = { id: '1', /* other properties */ };
  const added = queue.queueItem(item);
  console.log(added); // true if the item was added, false if it was already being processed

Getting the Next Item

  const nextItem = queue.getNextItem();
  if (nextItem) {
    // Process the item
    // ...
    
    // Mark it as done when finished
    queue.doneProcessing(nextItem.id);
  }

Checking Queue Status

  console.log(queue.length()); // Number of items in the queue
  console.log(queue.busy()); // true if any items are being processed
  console.log(queue.processSize()); // Number of items currently being processed

Removing Items

  const removed = queue.removeFromQueue('itemId');
  console.log(removed); // true if the item was removed, false if it wasn't in the queue

Getting All Queue Items

  const allItems = queue.getQueue();
  console.log(allItems); // Array of all items in the queue
