Async Task Runner for the WordPress
===================================

[](#async-task-runner-for-the-wordpress)

Create one time asynchronous tasks for WordPress

Forked from The WP Asynchronous Tasks plugin for TechCrunch.com -

How To Use
----------

[](#how-to-use)

Make sure to install as a composer dependnecy in plugin/site/app/whatever and include your autoloader.

### Conceptual Understanding

[](#conceptual-understanding)

- Read original version readme :

    -
- Read my article about using original version

    -
- Basically:

    - Create a class that extends `shelob9\async\task`
        - set action name in protected property `$action`
        - Prepare data to send to aync task in protected method `prepare_data()`
        - Prepare data and fire action for processing in protected method `prepare_data`
        - Optionally add public method `callback` to call with async task
    - Create new instance of `shelob9\async\system`
        - pass it an object -- insantiate you must -- of your `helob9\async\task` class as first parameter
        - Optionally pass, as second parameter, the callback function for the async task. Pass as string or array.
        - Optionally pass, as third parameter, an array of arguments for `do_action`. Should have priority in first index and number of callback params in second argument. Default is `[20,1]`.
- Consider:

    - Not calling a hook, or using system object, just calling a cb function right in `shelob9\async\task::run_action()`
    -

### Examples

[](#examples)

- With callback in class that defines task

```
    use shelob9\async\system;

    $task = new example();
    new system( $task, false, [ 20, 2 ] );

    class example extends shelob9\async\task {

        /**
         * Name of action
         *
         * @var string
         */
        protected $action = 'save_post';

        /**
         * Prepare async task -- runs when the original hook is fired
         *
         * @param array $data Dta passed to save_post hook
         *
         * @return array
         */
        protected function prepare_data( $data ) {
            $post_id = $data[0];
            return array( 'post_id' => $post_id );
        }

        /**
         * Runs the async hook in next session
         */
        protected function run_action() {
            $post_id = $_POST['post_id'];
            $post = get_post( $post_id );
            do_action( "wp_async_$this->action", $post->ID, $post );
        }

        /**
         * Process async task
         *
         * @param $id
         * @param $post
         */
        public function callback( $id, $post ){
            //do something here
        }

    }

```

- With callback as a function

```
    use shelob9\async\system;

    $task = new example();
    new system( $task, 'hi_roy', [ 20, 2 ] );

    class example extends shelob9\async\task {

        /**
         * Name of action
         *
         * @var string
         */
        protected $action = 'save_post';

        /**
         * Prepare async task -- runs when the original hook is fired
         *
         * @param array $data Dta passed to save_post hook
         *
         * @return array
         */
        protected function prepare_data( $data ) {
            $post_id = $data[0];
            return array( 'post_id' => $post_id );
        }

        /**
         * Runs the async hook in next session
         */
        protected function run_action() {
            $post_id = $_POST['post_id'];
            $post = get_post( $post_id );
            do_action( "wp_async_$this->action", $post->ID, $post );
        }

    }

    function hi_roy( $id, $post ){
        //do something here
    }

```
