NAME
Minion::Backend::Redis - Redis backend for Minion job queue
SYNOPSIS
use Minion::Backend::Redis;
my $backend = Minion::Backend::Redis->new('redis://127.0.0.1:6379/5');
# Minion
use Minion;
my $minion = Minion->new(Redis => 'redis://127.0.0.1:6379');
# Mojolicious (via Mojolicious::Plugin::Minion)
$self->plugin(Minion => { Redis => 'redis://127.0.0.1:6379/2' });
# Mojolicious::Lite (via Mojolicious::Plugin::Minion)
plugin Minion => { Redis => 'redis://x:s3cret@127.0.0.1:6379' };
DESCRIPTION
Minion::Backend::Redis is a backend for Minion based on Mojo::Redis. Note that Redis Server version 2.8.0 or newer is required to use this backend.
CAUTION
This is a slightly hackish modification of the original code by Dan Book to use Mojo::Redis instead of Mojo::Redis2.
Due to the original code being written against an older Minion version, "history" is currently unimplemented.
