Background ---------- [](#background) Php-Resque-Ex is a fork of [php-resque](https://github.com/chrisboulton/php-resque) by chrisboulton. See the [original README](https://github.com/chrisboulton/php-resque/blob/master/README.md) for more informations. Additional features ------------------- [](#additional-features) This fork provides some additional features : ### Support of php-redis [](#support-of-php-redis) Autodetect and use [phpredis](https://github.com/nicolasff/phpredis) to connect to Redis if available. Redisent is used as fallback. ### Powerfull logging [](#powerfull-logging) Instead of piping STDOUT output to a file, you can log directly to a database, or send them elsewhere via a socket. We use [Monolog](https://github.com/Seldaek/monolog) to manage all the logging. See their documentation to see all the available handlers. Log infos are augmented with more informations, and associated with a workers, a queue, and a job ID if any. ### Job creation delegation [](#job-creation-delegation) If Resque\_Job\_Creator class exists and is found by Resque, all jobs creation will be delegated to this class. The best way to inject this class is to include it in you `APP_INCLUDE` file. Class content is : ``` class Resque_Job_Creator { public static function createJob($className, $args) { // $className is you job class name, the second arguments when enqueuing a job // $args are the arguments passed to your jobs // Instanciate your class, and return the instance return new $className(); } } ``` This is pretty useful when your autoloader can not load the class, like when classname doesn't match its filename. Some framework, like CakePHP, uses `PluginName.ClassName` convention for classname, and require special handling before loading. ### Failed jobs logs [](#failed-jobs-logs) You can easily retrieve logs for a failed jobs in the redis database, their keys are named after their job ID. Each failed log will expire after 2 weeks to save space. ### Command Line tool [](#command-line-tool) Fresque is shipped by default to manage your workers. See [Fresque Documentation](https://github.com/kamisama/Fresque) for usage. Installation ------------ [](#installation) Clone the git repo ``` $ git clone https://github.com/cakejob/php-resque-ex.git ``` `cd` into the folder you just cloned ``` $ cd ./php-resque-ex ``` Download Composer ``` $ curl -s https://getcomposer.org/installer | php ``` Install dependencies ``` $ php composer.phar install ``` Usage ----- [](#usage) ### Logging [](#logging) Use the same way as the original port, with additional ENV : - `LOGHANDLER` : Specify the handler to use for logging (File, MongoDB, Socket, etc …). See [Monolog](https://github.com/Seldaek/monolog#handlers) doc for all available handlers. `LOGHANDLER` is the name of the handler, without the "Handler" part. To use CubeHandler, just type "Cube". - `LOGHANDLERTARGET` : Information used by the handler to connect to the database. Depends on the type of loghandler. If it's the *RotatingFileHandler*, the target will be the filename. If it's CubeHandler, target will be a udp address. Refer to each Handler to see what type of argument their `__construct()` method requires. - `LOGGING` : This environment variable must be set in order to enable logging via Monolog. i.e `LOGGING=1` If one of these two environement variable is missing, it will default to *RotatingFile* Handler. ### Redis backend [](#redis-backend) - `REDIS_BACKEND` : hostname of your Redis database - `REDIS_DATABASE` : To select another redis database (default 0) - `REDIS_NAMESPACE` : To set a different namespace for the keys (default to *resque*) - `REDIS_PASSWORD` : If your Redis backend needs authentication Requirements ------------ [](#requirements) - PHP 7.3+ - Redis 2.2+ Contributors ------------ [](#contributors) - [chrisboulton](https://github.com/chrisboulton/php-resque) for the original port ### Health Score 26 — LowBetter than 43% of packages Maintenance20 Infrequent updates — may be unmaintained Popularity20 Limited adoption so far Community7 Small or concentrated contributor base Maturity45 Maturing project, gaining track record How is this calculated?**Maintenance (25%)** — Last commit recency, latest release date, and issue-to-star ratio.
