README

A small, opinionated queue abstraction library based on discovered needs. Extracted from Xi Filelib and other assorted projects.

What does it do?

A message consists of a topic and arbitrary data (basic serializable data supported by default, custom serializers can be added). Messages are moved and grooved through a queue. The library extracts a simple, 80/20 like domain for it's method of operation and abstracts away the differences in message queue backends.

Status

The project is purely in maintenance mode. I have "moved on" since, code mostly JS & React these days.

If you want to maintain this, holler!

Quickstart

<?php

namespace Pekkis\Queue\Example;

use Pekkis\Queue\Adapter\IronMQAdapter;
use Pekkis\Queue\Message;
use Pekkis\Queue\Queue;

require_once (is_file(__DIR__ . '/bootstrap.php')) ? __DIR__ . '/bootstrap.php' : __DIR__ . '/bootstrap.dist.php';

// Create a new IronMQ backed queue
$queue = new Queue(
    new IronMQAdapter(IRONMQ_TOKEN, IRONMQ_PROJECT_ID, 'pekkis-queue-example')
);

// Queues can be emptied.
$queue->purge();

// A message consists of a topic and data. A message instance with an UUID you can use is returned.
$message = $queue->enqueue(
    'pekkis.queue.example',
    array(
        'some' => 'random data'
    )
);

// Dequeue and process a single message
$received = $queue->dequeue();
$data = $received->getData();
var_dump($data);

// Acknowledge the message (you're done with it)
$queue->ack($received);

A better example

For an end-to-end example with IronMQ and a "real life" scenario, see the folder examples.

Also see Xi Filelib (v0.10+) for actual real use case from the real world!
