laravel-gearman's Introduction

Description

This package gives you the possibily to add gearman as native queue back-end service

#Installation

first you need to add it to your composer.json

second you need to comment out the native queue service provider

//'Illuminate\Queue\QueueServiceProvider',

and to put this instead:

'Pafelin\Gearman\GearmanServiceProvider',

Than in your config/queue.php file you can add:

'default' => 'gearman',
'connections' => array(

		'gearman' => array(
            'driver' => 'gearman',
            'host'   => 'localserver.6min.local',
            'queue'  => 'default',
            'port'   => '4730',
            'timeout' => 1000 //milliseconds
        )
)

Then in your code you can add code as (this is the native way to add jobs to the queue):

Queue::push('SomeClass', array('message' => 'The data that should be available in the SomeClass@fire method'));

Small hint, you can call Namespaced classes and everything that is written in the docs of laravel for calling custom methods is valid here, too.

Example:

I add a "service" folder to my app folder and inside I create a file "SendMail.php" The code of the class is here:

<?php

namespace TaskProcess\Services;

class SendMail {

    public function fire($job, $data)
    {
        //I send an email to my email address with subject "gearman test" and message whatever comes from gearman
        mail('[email protected]', 'gearman test', $data['message']);
    }

}

In my routes file I add a new Route

Route::get('/gearman', function() {
    //in a loop I add 3 jobs to gearman with different content. The purpose is to see 3 different emails with 3 different contents
    foreach (array(1,2,3) as $row) {
        Queue::push('TaskProcess\Services\SendMail', array('message' => 'Message №' . $row));
    }
});

Finally I just run on my console:
