Tasque
======

[](#tasque)

[![Build Status](https://github.com/nytris/tasque/workflows/CI/badge.svg)](https://github.com/nytris/tasque/actions?query=workflow%3ACI)

\[EXPERIMENTAL\] Run PHP background [green threads](https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Green_thread) concurrently.

> Note that these are not true threads: instead they are ["green threads"](https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Green_thread) as they still run in the single main PHP process' primary OS thread, inside a separate [Fiber](https://www.php.net/manual/en/language.fibers.php) for each, being interrupted by the Tasque scheduler when it is time to context switch either to the next background thread or back to the main thread.
>
> This is why we use the term "concurrent" rather than "parallel".

Why?
----

[](#why)

To allow periodic background tasks, such as sending keep-alive or heartbeat messages, to be performed in a traditional PHP environment where there is no event loop.

Demos
-----

[](#demos)

- See the [Tasque demo](https://github.com/nytris/tasque-demo) for an example of how Tasque is used to start multiple threads.
- See the [Tasque EventLoop demo](https://github.com/nytris/tasque-event-loop-demo) to see how [Tasque EventLoop](https://github.com/nytris/tasque-event-loop) can be used to run a ReactPHP event loop inside one of those threads, concurrently with the main thread (and any other Tasque background threads).

Usage
-----
