**Indigo Queue manages your queues and processes the jobs you put onto them.**

Install
-------

[](#install)

Via Composer

```
{
    "require": {
        "indigophp/queue": "@stable"
    }
}
```

Usage
-----

[](#usage)

First of all you have decide which MQ do you want to use. Currently supported MQs:

- [Beanstalkd](http://kr.github.io/beanstalkd/)
- [RabbitMQ](http://www.rabbitmq.com/)
- [IronMQ](http://www.iron.io/)

There is also a special implementation, where to job is not sent to a queue, but executed immediately.

### Connector

[](#connector)

Connector does the communication between the server and the Queue/Worker class.

### Queue

[](#queue)

You use the Queue class to push jobs to a queue. You can also push a job with a delay.

See [Queue example](examples/Queue.php).

### Worker

[](#worker)

You usually set up a console application for your workers.

See [Worker example](examples/Worker.php).

### Job

[](#job)

See [examples](examples);

### Special connector: DirectConnector

[](#special-connector-directconnector)

This connector does what you think: Executes the pushed job immediately. You can also push a delayed job, BUT BE CAREFUL: this means that your application will sleep for a certain time, so use it wisely.

Testing
-------

[](#testing)

```
$ codecept run
```
