-# taskbuffer
-Flexible task organization for gulp.
-
-## Status
-[![Coverage Status](https://coveralls.io/repos/github/pushrocks/taskbuffer/badge.svg?branch=master)](https://coveralls.io/github/pushrocks/taskbuffer?branch=master)
-
-## Install
-
-```sh
-npm install taskbuffer --save
-```
-
-## Concepts 
-
-#### Task
-* A Task in its most simple form is a function that is executed when the task runs.
-* A Task can have a **preTask** and an **afterTask**
-  (those are run before or after the main function whenever the task is called)
-* A Task can be buffered.
-  That means it can be called multiple times in a very short time.
-  However execution happens in line:
-  meaning execution of the task's main function is on halt until the previous task call has finished.
-  You can set bufferMax number, which is the max number of buffered task calls.
-  Any additional calls will then be truncated
-* Task.trigger() and Task.triggerBuffered() always return a Promise
-  which is fullfilled once the related task call has completed.
-* Task.triggered() is an Observable stream that emits events every time a task call is called and every time a call is completed.
-* Task is compatible to gulp streams.
-
-#### Taskchain
-* Multiple Tasks can be combined in a bigger task using a Taskchain. Taskchain extends Task.

+## Usage
+
+We highly recommend TypeScript as this module supports **TypeScript intellisense**.
+
+```javascript
+import * as taskbuffer from "taskbuffer";
+
+myTask = new taskbuffer.Task({
+  preTask: someOtherTask // optional, don't worry loops are prevented
+  afterTask: someOtherTask // optional, don't worry loops are prevented
+  name:"myTask1",
+  buffered: true, // optional
+  bufferMax: 3, // optional, call qeues greater than this are truncated
+  execDelay: 1000, // optional, time in ms to wait before executing task call
+  taskFunction:() => {
+    // do some stuff and return promise
+    // pass on any data through promise resolution
+    // Use TypeScript for better understanding and code completion
+  }
+})
+```
