Composer run parallel
=====================

[](#composer-run-parallel)

This composer plugin allows you to run the tasks inside your composer file in parallel. No more waiting on one specific task!

[Please find my blog post describing the whole story.](https://veewee.github.io/blog/run-composer-tasks-in-parallel/)

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

[](#installation)

```
composer require --dev veewee/composer-run-parallel
```

or globally ...

```
composer require --global veewee/composer-run-parallel
```

Examples
--------

[](#examples)

```
{
  "scripts": {
    "php1": "@php -r 'sleep(3); echo \"1\";'",
    "php2": "@php -r 'echo \"2\";'"
  }
}
```

Following command will result in parallel execution of both php1 and php2:

```
composer run parallel php1 php2
```

You can even create a shortcut script for the parallel function like this:

```
{
  "scripts": {
    "php1": "@php -r 'sleep(3); echo \"1\";'",
    "php2": "@php -r 'echo \"2\";'",
    "php1And2": "@parallel php1 php2"
  }
}
```

```
composer run php1And2
```

What if a task fails?

```
{
  "scripts": {
    "php1": "@php -r 'sleep(3); echo \"1\";'",
    "phpfail": "@php -r 'throw new Exception(\"FAIL\");'"
  }
}
```

All tasks will be executed and if one fails, the parallel task will fail as well:

```
composer run parallel php1 phpfail

Succesfully ran:
php1

Failed running:
phpfail

Not all tasks could be executed succesfully!
```

*Note*: You can also use the shorthand command:

```
composer parallel php1 phpfail
```

Pretty cool right? What If I told you there is even more?!

```
{
  "scripts": {
    "wicked": [
      "@parallel vendor php2",
      "@php1"
    ]
  }
}
```

You can even mix parallel tasks with serial tasks and even nest multiple parallel tasks at the same time. This way you can create flows like:

- do some checks first
- next run some stuff in parallel
- finish up with some blocking cleanup task if everything was ok
