DESCRIPTION

Dancer2::Plugin::Minion makes it easy to add a job queue to any of your Dancer2 applications. The queue is powered by Minion and uses a backend of your choosing, such as PostgreSQL or SQLite.

The plugin lazily instantiates a Minion object, which is accessible via the minion keyword. Any method, attribute, or event you need in Minion is available via this keyword. Additionally, add_task and enqueue keywords are available to make it convenient to add and start new queued jobs.

See the Minion documentation for more complete documentation on the methods and functionality available.

enqueue()

Keyword/shortcut for minion-enqueue()>. See Minion's enqueue() documentation for more information.

RUNNING JOBS

You will need to create a Minion worker if you want to be able to run your queued jobs. Thankfully, you can write a minimal worker with just a few lines of code:

#!/usr/bin/env perl

use Dancer2;
use Dancer2::Plugin::Minion;
use MyJobLib;

minion->add_task( my_job_1 => MyJobLib::job1());

my $worker = Minion::Worker->new( minion );
$worker->run;

By using Dancer2::Plugin::Minion, your worker will be configured with the settings provided in your config.yml file. See Minion::Worker for more information.
