Job Queue
=========

[](#job-queue)

[![Build Status](https://camo.githubusercontent.com/da9d72a7802b3d830adbc9dc4fa935ceb1509cb46cb559ed6209facd8c33bed7/68747470733a2f2f696d672e736869656c64732e696f2f7472617669732f677261656d65746169742f6a6f622d71756575652f6d61737465722e7376673f7374796c653d666c61742d737175617265)](https://travis-ci.org/graemetait/job-queue)

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
-----

[](#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

[](#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

[](#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);

```
