PHP SQLite Job Queue
====================

[](#php-sqlite-job-queue)

A minimal job queue library written in PHP that persists data with SQLite.

Use it for small projects / prototypes with at most hundreds or thousands of jobs.

Install
-------

[](#install)

```
composer require mgleis/php-sqlite-job-queue

```

Usage
-----

[](#usage)

### The Main Use Cases

[](#the-main-use-cases)

#### Add a new job

[](#add-a-new-job)

```
$queue = new Queue('queue.sqlite');
$queue->push("a string");
$queue->push(["an" => "array"]);
$queue->push([0, 1, 2, 3, 4]);
$queue->push(['type' => 'SendEmail', 'to' => '...']);

```

#### Process jobs with workers

[](#process-jobs-with-workers)

```
$worker = new Worker($queue);
$worker->process(function(Job $job) {
    $payload = $job->payload;
    if ($payload['type'] == 'SendEmail')
        send_email(...);
});

```

#### Worker Configuration

[](#worker-configuration)

You have several options to configure the worker. The options should be self-explanatory:

```
// optional configuration
$worker
    ->withMaxTotalRuntimeInSeconds(60)
    ->withMaxJobCount(100)
    ->withSleepTimeBetweenJobsInMilliseconds(1)
    ->withSleepTimeOnEmptyQueueInMilliseconds(100);

```

### Edge Cases

[](#edge-cases)

### Determine Size of the queue

[](#determine-size-of-the-queue)

```

```

### Get a specific job

[](#get-a-specific-job)

```
$job = $queue->get(12345);

```
