Queues allow you to defer the processing of a time consuming task, such as sending an e-mail, until a later time, thus drastically speeding up the web requests to your application. ### Usage Instructions [](#usage-instructions) First, create a new Queue `Capsule` manager instance. Similar to the "Capsule" provided for the Eloquent ORM, the queue Capsule aims to make configuring the library for usage outside of the Laravel framework as easy as possible. ``` use Illuminate\Queue\Capsule\Manager as Queue; $queue = new Queue; $queue->addConnection([ 'driver' => 'beanstalkd', 'host' => 'localhost', 'queue' => 'default', ]); // Make this Capsule instance available globally via static methods... (optional) $queue->setAsGlobal(); ``` Once the Capsule instance has been registered. You may use it like so: ``` // As an instance... $queue->push('SendEmail', ['message' => $message]); // If setAsGlobal has been called... Queue::push('SendEmail', ['message' => $message]); ``` For further documentation on using the queue, consult the [Laravel framework documentation](https://laravel.com/docs). ### Health Score 82 — ExcellentBetter than 100% of packages Maintenance98 Actively maintained with recent releases Popularity67 Solid adoption and visibility Community56 Growing community involvement Maturity98 Battle-tested with a long release history Bus Factor2 2 contributors hold 50%+ of commits How is this calculated?**Maintenance (25%)** — Last commit recency, latest release date, and issue-to-star ratio.
