[feat] Dynamic jobs

Hi, is there a way to create a dynamic set of jobs? How can I pass custom parameters to a job? I was wondering if a similar approach to the following one can be used…

const currencies = ['USD', 'EUR','GBP'];
const currencyJob = currency => () => {
// job
console.log(currency)
};

const jobs = currencies.map(currency => ({task: currencyJob(currency), interval: '2m'}));
const bree = new Bree({jobs});

// start...

Thanks

@tamaker When you create a task you need to specify also the workerData property.

    {
      name: 'task1',
      worker: {
        workerData: {
          foo: 'something',
          fie: 'something else'
        }
      }

Considering the case above you can retrieve those properties from your job (task1.js) using worker threads.

const { workerData } = require('worker_threads');
console.dir(workerData); // This is what you need

See https://nodejs.org/api/worker_threads.html#worker_threads_worker_workerdata

I did notice the following method when I was looking for an example (2 mins ago)… Check => https://github.com/breejs/bree#using-functions-for-jobs So, it seems you can specify a function… I didn’t even noticed that when I was reading the docs… my bad 😃

So currently you might have 2 ways to do it…

I did find a possible solution, workerData to pass parameters to the dynamically created job list. It would have been more “elegant” having functions but that would work well anyway. Thanks @ggb88

@corzani Can you share a rough example of how you’re achieving this? I’m exploring options along the same lines as your approach. Thanks!
