[Learn more](https://central.hoa-project.net/Documentation/Library/Worker). Installation ------------ [](#installation) With [Composer](https://getcomposer.org/), to include this library into your dependencies, you need to require [`hoa/worker`](https://packagist.org/packages/hoa/worker): ``` $ composer require hoa/worker '~3.0' ``` For more installation procedures, please read [the Source page](https://hoa-project.net/Source.html). Testing ------- [](#testing) Before running the test suites, the development dependencies must be installed: ``` $ composer install ``` Then, to run all the test suites: ``` $ vendor/bin/hoa test:run ``` For more information, please read the [contributor guide](https://hoa-project.net/Literature/Contributor/Guide.html). Quick usage ----------- [](#quick-usage) As a quick overview, we see how to create a worker and how to communicate with it. ### Create a worker [](#create-a-worker) First, we need to register the worker (i.e. creating a `.wid` file), called `demorker`: ``` if (false === Hoa\Worker\Run::widExists('demorker')) { Hoa\Worker\Run::register('demorker', 'tcp://127.0.0.1:123456'); } ``` Then, we start the worker (with a password) and we listen to messages: ``` $worker = new Hoa\Worker\Backend\Shared('demorker', 'iamapassword'); $worker->on('message', function(Hoa\Event\Bucket $bucket) { $data = $bucket->getData(); // compute $data['message']. }); $worker->run(); ``` The message indicates a task to do (sending an email, create some archives, update the database, send some notifications…). We are also able to manage all workers from a CLI. ### Communicate with a worker [](#communicate-with-a-worker) Second, since the worker is running, we can communicate with it from our application. Thus: ``` $worker = new Hoa\Worker\Shared('demorker'); $worker->postMessage('mail gordon@freeman.hl Hello Gordon!'); ``` We are able to send everything that can be serialized. Documentation ------------- [](#documentation) The [hack book of `Hoa\Worker`](https://central.hoa-project.net/Documentation/Library/Worker)contains detailed information about how to use this library and how it works. To generate the documentation locally, execute the following commands: ``` $ composer require --dev hoa/devtools $ vendor/bin/hoa devtools:documentation --open ``` More documentation can be found on the project's website: [hoa-project.net](https://hoa-project.net/). Getting help ------------ [](#getting-help) There are mainly two ways to get help: - On the [`#hoaproject`](https://webchat.freenode.net/?channels=#hoaproject)IRC channel, - On the forum at [users.hoa-project.net](https://users.hoa-project.net).
