Ruby Evented Queue

evented-queue simply wraps non-evented queue to an evented interface. It directly uses the Unified Queues gem which means, wide spectrum of queues can be converted to the evented queues. Advantage of the evented queue is, they can be recurring, so can serve as de-facto permanent provider of the events.

An example:

require "evented-queue"
require "depq"      # will serve as example here

queue = EventedQueue::new(Depq)
queue.push(:foo)

queue.pop do |item|
    item    # will contain :foo
end

queue.push(:bar)

queue.pop do |item|
    item    # will contain :bar
end

And recurring queue example:

require "evented-queue/recurring"

queue = EventedQueue::Recurring::new(Array)
queue.push(:foo)

queue.pop do |item|     # :foo will be written out now
    p item
end

queue.push(:bar)        # :bar will be written out now
queue.push(:delta)      # :delta will be written out now
