Work in progress library to easily push jobs on to a queue so they can be processed outside of the web request. Currently only supports Beanstalk queues. API will break regularly until v1.

Usage

Firstly you need to create an instance of a Queue.

$pheanstalk = new Pheanstalk\Pheanstalk('localhost');
$queue = new JobQueue\BeanstalkQueue($pheanstalk, 'email_queue');

Creating jobs

You can then push Jobs on to the Queue.

$job = new JobQueue\Job('EmailClient', ['client_id' => $id]);
$queue->push($job);

This assumes that you have an EmailClient class with a method named handle that takes an argument of client_id. This will be called later when the job is retrieved from the queue and executed.

Processing the queue

This will listen for new jobs to be pushed to the queue, and then execute them.

$runner = new JobQueue\JobRunner();
$worker = new JobQueue\QueueWorker($queue, $runner);

$worker->processQueue();

To just process the next job you can do this.

$worker->processNextJob();

You can see what the QueueWorker is doing by passing in a logger that implements psr/log.

$runner = new JobQueue\JobRunner();
$logger = new Monolog\Logger('queue');
$worker = new JobQueue\QueueWorker($queue, $runner, $logger);
