1. Rebuild status updating — not only with suspend

php-worker
==========

[](#php-worker)

Your worker class should extend \\kirillreutski\\PhpWorker\\GenericWorker. Override methods: public static function addLog(string $text): void; public function updateStatus(string $newStatus): void; // method called each time when we need to update status in e.g. DB public function saveState(); //function called when worker finished and we need to store its data e.g. in DB

The definition of worker steps is set in constructor:

public function \_\_construct(array $wr) {

```
static::$steps = [
    Step::instant('firstStep'),
    Step::instant('secondStep'),
    /* here script stops till next run*/
    Step::long('thirdStep'),
    Step::instant('forthStep')
];

parent::__construct($wr);

```

}

Step is an object of type kirillreutski\\PhpWorker\\Step; Worker class should contain a non-static funciton with the same name.

To run a worker, do: $worker = Custom\\RealWorker::init(\[...\]); $worker->run();

Also process runner implemented which picks a first task to be run: $worker = Custom\\ProcessRunner::runNext(); ProcessRunner extends GenericProcessRunner and overrides public static function getProcessList (returns array of tasks)

Worker expects the following data in passed array: \[ 'current\_step' => CURRENT\_STEP\_NAME, // step from which we start 'data' => \[\], // data "storage" — there your steps store execution data if needed 'handling\_status' => CURRENT\_WORKER\_STATUS, //awaitingNextRun, inProgress, done \]

Instant steps are done one by one in a single run. When worker faces 'long' step — and if it is not a first step in a current run — then it suspends. Otherwise it runs currespondent step and if this step returns true — then we go to next step; if false — suspend and step remains the same;
