beanstalkd client library for node.js

node-beanstalk-client was a nice beanstalkd client for node.js but left unmaintained with bugs. Further it was written in coffee script, effectively limiting the contributions.

I took the coffee generated js, refactored into a readable code, added utf8 support, unit tests and fixed critical bugs.

###Installation

npm install beanstalkc

###Example

var beanstalkc = require('beanstalkc');

beanstalkc.connect('127.0.0.1:11300', function(err, conn) {
  var job_data = {"name": "beanstalkc"};
  
  conn.put(0, 0, 1, JSON.stringify(job_data), function(err, job_id) {
    console.log('put job: ' + job_id);

    conn.reserve(function(err, job_id, job_json) {
      console.log('got job: ' + job_id);
      console.log('got job data: ' + job_json);
      console.log('module name is ' + JSON.parse(job_json).name);
      
      conn.destroy(job_id, function(err) {
		console.log('destroyed job');
      });
    });

  });
});

node-beanstalkc's Issues

when use stats_tube command , there have a problem

code should be add :

Response.prototype.CODES_REQUIRING_BODY = {
'RESERVED' : true,
'OK' : true
};

Rename project?

May I humbly suggest using a slightly different name for your client library?

beanstalkc is already in use for a fairly popular beanstalkd client library for Python. It would be great, if we could avoid the future confusion from having two distinct projects using the same name.

No offence intended, it is a fairly obvious name :) Given that your project is still very young, I hope that renaming it should not be too big a problem -- I think it would be in the interest of both of our existing and future users.
