ActiveJob::Scheduler

An extension to ActiveJob for running background jobs periodically, according to a schedule. Inspired by its predecessors, resque-scheduler and sidekiq-scheduler, ActiveJob::Scheduler hopes to bring the power of scheduled jobs into everyone's hands, by way of the pre-defined ActiveJob API which most popular queueing backend choices already support.

Like its predecessors, ActiveJob::Scheduler uses the same powerful syntax for describing when periodic jobs should run as Rufus::Scheduler. However, unlike its predecessors, ActiveJob::Scheduler does not require a separate process to be run. Instead, it uses an after_perform callback to re-enqueue the job after it has been performed.

Installation

Add this line to your application's Gemfile:

gem 'activejob-scheduler'

And then execute:

$ bundle

Or install it yourself as:

$ gem install activejob-scheduler

Usage

Run the following command to generate a YAML-based schedule:

$ rails generate activejob:schedule

Development

After checking out the repo, run bin/setup to install dependencies. Then, run rake rspec to run the tests. You can also run bin/console for an interactive prompt that will allow you to experiment.

To install this gem onto your local machine, run bin/rake install. To release a new version, update the version number in version.rb, and then run bin/rake release, which will create a git tag for the version, push git commits and tags, and push the .gem file to rubygems.org.
