JSON API Method to update the job's progress

Hello all,

Thank for this awesome tool. I have patched the code in order to modify with JSON API the jobs’s progress

Sorry i feel unconfortable with git so I copy/paste my code here.

In ./lib/http/routes/json.js

/**
 * Update job :id :frames :totalFrames.
 */

exports.updateProgress = function(req, res){
  var id = req.params.id
    , frames = req.params.frames , totalFrames = req.params.totalFrames;

  Job.get(id, function(err, job){
    if (err) return res.send({ error: err.message });
    job.progress(frames, totalFrames);
    job.save(function(err){
      if (err) return res.send({ error: err.message });
      res.send({ message: 'updated Progress' });
    });
  });


};

And in ./lib/http/index.js

app.put('/job/:id/progress/:frames..:totalFrames', provides('json'), json.updateProgress);

Here an example:

curl -X PUT “http://domain:port/job/163/progress/1200…3000”

Sorry for my english.

@behrad I don’t agree with you. It’s very useful feature.

Right now JSON API is completely unuseful and it’s sad. Kue as a stand-alone (micro-)service is much more preferable than just a nodejs module. And it’s simple to move Kue this way - just make JSON API more powerful.

This is unusual feature, since kue job processors are in nodejs, and worker is the one how can change job’s progress. If you are using a bridged PHP/Java/XYZ handler, you can also define a bridge between your nodejs processor and your PHP script to update the job’s progress within the your nodejs code.
