Wisper::Sidekiq

Provides Wisper with asynchronous event publishing using Sidekiq.

Installation

gem 'wisper-sidekiq'

Usage

publisher.subscribe(MyListener, async: true)

The listener must be a class (or module), not an object. This is because Sidekiq can not reconstruct the state of an object. However a class is easily reconstructed.

Additionally, you should also ensure that your methods used to handle events under MyListener are all declared as class methods:

class MyListener
  def self.event_name
  end
end

When publshing events the arguments must be simple as they need to be serialized. For example instead of sending an ActiveRecord model as an argument use its id instead.

See the Sidekiq best practices for more information.

Advanced options

You can also customize queue name, retry value and other sidekiq options when registering the listener like the following:

publisher.subscribe(MyListener, async: { queue: 'custom', retry: false })

Compatibility

The same Ruby versions as Sidekiq are offically supported, but it should work with any 2.x syntax Ruby including JRuby and Rubinius.

See the build status for details.
