Laravel Pause Jobs Package
==========================

[](#laravel-pause-jobs-package)

A Laravel package that allows you to pause/disable specific jobs without modifying the job code itself.

Installation
------------

[](#installation)

1. Install the package via Composer:

```
composer require pm4dev/pause_jobs
```

2. The package will auto-register itself with Laravel.

How it works
------------

[](#how-it-works)

This package adds middleware to Laravel's job bus that checks if a job is in the disabled list before executing it. If a job is disabled, it will be skipped and logged.

Available Commands
------------------

[](#available-commands)

### Disable a Job

[](#disable-a-job)

```
php artisan jobs:disable "App\Jobs\YourJobClass"
```

### Enable a Job

[](#enable-a-job)

```
php artisan jobs:enable "App\Jobs\YourJobClass"
```

### List Disabled Jobs

[](#list-disabled-jobs)

```
php artisan jobs:list-disabled
```

### Enable All Jobs

[](#enable-all-jobs)

```
php artisan jobs:enable-all
```

Or force enable without confirmation:

```
php artisan jobs:enable-all --force
```

Usage Examples
--------------

[](#usage-examples)

### Disable a specific job

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

```
php artisan jobs:disable "App\Jobs\SendEmailJob"
```

### Enable a previously disabled job

[](#enable-a-previously-disabled-job)

```
php artisan jobs:enable "App\Jobs\SendEmailJob"
```

### Check what jobs are currently disabled

[](#check-what-jobs-are-currently-disabled)

```
php artisan jobs:list-disabled
```

### Enable all jobs at once

[](#enable-all-jobs-at-once)

```
php artisan jobs:enable-all
```

Storage
-------

[](#storage)

The package stores the list of disabled jobs in `storage/app/disabled_jobs.json`. This file is automatically created and managed by the package.

Logging
-------

[](#logging)

When a job is skipped due to being disabled, it will be logged with:

- Laravel's log system (`Log::info`)
- PHP's error log (`error_log`)

The log message format is: `SKIPPED JOB: {JobClassName}`

Notes
-----

[](#notes)

- Job class names must be fully qualified (e.g., `App\Jobs\YourJobClass`)
- The package validates that the job class exists when disabling
- Disabled jobs are completely skipped and not executed
- The disabled jobs list persists across application restarts
