Introduction to
Node.js Event Loop
• Node.js operates on a single-threaded
event loop architecture.
• Click icon to add picture
• It allows for non-blocking I/O
operations, making it efficient for
handling multiple concurrent tasks.
• Understanding the event loop is
crucial for managing asynchronous
operations in Node.js.
What is the Event Queue?
• The event queue is a data structure that holds messages or
events to be processed.
• Events in the queue are executed in a first-in, first-out (FIFO)
manner.
• This queue ensures that tasks are handled sequentially,
preventing race conditions.
Adding Work can be added to the event queue using
Work to asynchronous callbacks or promises.
the Event Functions like `setTimeout`, `setImmediate`, and
Queue `process.nextTick` are common ways to schedule
tasks.
Each of these methods has different priorities
and timing for execution within the event loop.
Using

The `setTimeout` function schedules a task to run after
`setTimeout` a specified delay.
It adds the callback function to the event queue after the
timer expires.
This is useful for creating delays between operations,
but can also lead to increased latency.
The `setImmediate` function queues a single task to
run immediately after the current event loop phase.
Using It ensures that the function will execute after I/O
`setImmediate` events have been processed.
This is helpful for executing tasks that require
immediate attention without blocking I/O
operations.
Using `process.nextTick`
The `process.nextTick` method allows you to
add a callback function to the next iteration of
the event loop.
It executes before any I/O operations or
timers, making it a way to prioritize certain
tasks.
Use it judiciously, as excessive use can starve
the event loop of I/O operations.
Practical Use Cases
Use `setTimeout` for animations or timed events in
web applications.
`setImmediate` is ideal for executing tasks that should
run after I/O events, such as processing user input.
`process.nextTick` can be used for error handling and
ensuring that critical tasks are executed immediately.
Conclusion
Adding work to the event queue is a vital
aspect of asynchronous programming in
Node.js.
Choosing the right method for scheduling
tasks can enhance performance and
responsiveness.
A solid understanding of the event loop and
queue will enable developers to create more
efficient applications.
