addMultiple

Last updated 3 months ago
Adds a collection of tasks to the task list. 
Requires an array of functions which call the done callback upon completion. 
The tasks are picked up by the task runner in the order in which they were added. 
By default adds to the end of the task list. 
Returns true upon successful addition. 
Structure

Example
import TaskRunner from 'concurrent-tasks';
​
const runner = new TaskRunner();
​
function generateTasks() {
    const tasks = [];
    let count = 1000;
    while(count) {
        tasks.push(done => {
            setTimeout(() => {
                done();
            }, Math.random() * 1000)
        });
        count--;
    }
    return tasks;
