li3_resque

lithium library for processing and scheduling background jobs using php-resque

early alpha - non-functional - work-in-progress

thanks for stopping by. I am in the process of defining how this library works. If you want to join forces or need something like this, feel free to contact me.

Fork notes

This is the Knodes version of li3_resque. It deviated from d1rk's (great) efforts into a hackish solution that simply works but isn't as well structured.
This fork provides a static ResqueProxy class that channels all methods either a Resque class (php-resque), a ResqueScheduler (php-resque-scheduler)

Installation

add the repo as a submodule, the make sure to update submodules recursively, e.g.:

git submodule add https://github.com/Knodes/li3_resque.git libraries/li3_resque
git submodule update --init --recursive

Load the library during the lithium bootstrap process

// add the following to config/bootstrap/libraries.php
Libraries::add('li3_resque');

Usage

Commands

The plugin provides some additional commands.

To view all commands, run the following

./li3

For more info on each of the commands, prefix --help

./li3 resque --help
./li3 resque-worker --help
./li3 scheduled-worker --help

Using within your application

use li3_resque\extensions\ResqueProxy;

ResqueProxy::enqueue('myqueue','app\jobs\MyJob', array('args' => 'to-pass'));

This will queue up a job. The job is located in the app\jobs namespace. Its' class name is MyJob, and an array of args are passed in. The queue name is myqueue.

So now we that we have a job queued up, we need a worker to do the work.

This is invoked using the resque-worker command. We must tell it which queue it is to process.

./li3 resque-worker --queues=myqueue

This will run indefinitely, though you will likely run it using nohup. You can pass additional parameters such as the interval between jobs. See the help command for more information.
