Installation

Requirements

• Node.js 20 or newer
• PostgreSQL 14 or newer
• pnpm or yarn (npm works but has rough edges with NAPI-RS)

Install the package

pnpm

pnpm add @eddyq/queue

yarn

yarn add @eddyq/queue

npm

npm install @eddyq/queue

NestJS

If you're on NestJS, install the module package alongside the core client:

pnpm add @eddyq/queue @eddyq/nestjs

See the NestJS guide for forRoot configuration and decorator usage.

Database setup

eddyq owns its own schema. You don't create tables manually — but you do need to apply migrations explicitly before starting workers.

npx eddyq migrate run --database-url "$DATABASE_URL"

See Migrations for the full rationale and the Node-script alternative.
