README

This is a helper package for extension developers that adds Laravel Queue ability to Flarum.

Installation

Inside your the composer.json of your extension add under the require section bokt/flarum-queue:

  "require": {
    // ..
    "bokt/flarum-queue": "*"
  }

Make sure you register the QueueProvider in your extend.php:

return [
    new \Bokt\Queue\Extend\EnableQueues,
  // .. your code
];

Developer instructions

In your source code you need to resolve the Illuminate\Queue\QueueManager or its alias queue from the container. This allows you to push jobs into the queue.

app()->make('queue')->push(new YouHadOneJob);

Test whether your job is queued in the jobs table and by running with the flarum binary:

$ php flarum queue:work

User instructions

By default the database driver is used. You can override this by providing a queue configuration in your config.php under the queue key, eg:

  'database' => [
    // ..
  ],
  'queue' => [
    'driver' => 'redis',
    'connection' => 'default',
    'queue' => env('REDIS_QUEUE', 'default'),
    'retry_after' => 90,
    'block_for' => null,
  ],

This configuration will we be bound under queue.connections.custom and set as the default.

Other drivers are supported, check the Laravel documentation.

Database queue

Make sure you add to your user instructions the need to run:

$ php flarum queue:tables

This will migrate the jobs and failed_jobs tables into the database.
