Installation

1. Run:

composer require lukaszaleckas/laravel-concurrency

Service provider should be automatically registered, if not add

LaravelConcurrency\ConcurrencyServiceProvider::class

to your application's app.php.

1. Publish configuration file:

php artisan vendor:publish --provider="LaravelConcurrency\ConcurrencyServiceProvider"

1. Run migrations to create tasks table:

php artisan migrate

Usage Example

Create a task

Create a new task which implements LaravelConcurrency\Contracts\TaskInterface:

use LaravelConcurrency\Contracts\TaskInterface;

class SleepForTwoSeconds implements TaskInterface
{
    public function run(): mixed
    {
        sleep(2);
        
        return null;
    }
}

Tasks return result which you want to get after running them. This can be anything you want, but it needs to be serializable.

In this example we just return null.

Spawn task workers

Tasks are run by tasks workers. To spawn a task worker run:

php artisan concurrency:run-task-worker

One worker can run only one task at a time. So we'll spawn two of those for this example.

Run tasks

Now run a couple of these tasks concurrently:

use LaravelConcurrency\Facades\Concurrency;

Concurrency::wait(
    new SleepForTwoSeconds(),
    new SleepForTwoSeconds()
)

If you notice, these tasks were both completed in ~2s, which means they've run concurrently.

You should also notice task workers logs that indicate which task ran in which process.
