Queueable actions in Laravel

Actions are a way of structuring your business logic in Laravel. This package adds easy support to make them queueable.

$myAction->onQueue()->execute();

You can specify a queue name.

$myAction->onQueue('my-favorite-queue')->execute();

Installation

You can install the package via composer:

composer require spatie/laravel-queueable-action

Usage

If you want to know about the reasoning behind actions and their asynchronous usage, you should read the dedicated blog post: https://stitcher.io/blog/laravel-queueable-actions.

Here's an example of queueable actions in use:

class MyAction
{
    use QueueableAction;

    public function __construct(
        OtherAction $otherAction,
        ServiceFromTheContainer $service
    ) {
        // Constructor arguments can come from the container.
    
        $this->otherAction = $otherAction;
        $this->service = $service;
    }

    public function execute(
        MyModel $model,
        RequestData $requestData
    ) {
        // The business logic goes here, this can be executed in an async job.
    }
}

class MyController
{
    public function store(
        MyRequest $request,
        MyModel $model,
        MyAction $action
    ) {
        $requestData = RequestData::fromRequest($myRequest);
        
        // Execute the action on the queue:
        $action->onQueue()->execute($model, $requestData);
        
        // Or right now:
        $action->execute($model, $requestData);
    }
}

What is the difference between actions and jobs?

In short: constructor injection allows for much more flexibility. You can read an in-depth explanation here: https://stitcher.io/blog/laravel-queueable-actions.
