NAME

Minion - Job queue

SYNOPSIS

use Minion;

# Add tasks
my $minion = Minion->new('mongodb://localhost:27017');
$minion->add_task(something_slow => sub {
  my ($job, @args) = @_;
  sleep 5;
  say 'This is a background worker process.';
});

# Enqueue jobs (data gets BSON serialized)
$minion->enqueue(something_slow => ['foo', 'bar']);
$minion->enqueue(something_slow => [1, 2, 3]);

# Perform jobs automatically for testing
$minion->auto_perform(1);
$minion->enqueue(something_slow => ['foo', 'bar']);

# Build more sophisticated workers
my $worker = $minion->repair->worker->register;
if (my $job = $worker->dequeue) { $job->perform }
$worker->unregister;

DESCRIPTION

Minion is a Mango job queue for the Mojolicious real-time web framework.

Background worker processes are usually started with the command Minion::Command::minion::worker, which becomes automatically available when an application loads the plugin Mojolicious::Plugin::Minion.

$ ./myapp.pl minion worker

Note that this whole distribution is EXPERIMENTAL and will change without warning!

Many features are still incomplete or missing, so you should wait for a stable 1.0 release before using any of the modules in this distribution in a production environment.

ATTRIBUTES

Minion implements the following attributes.

app

my $app = $minion->app;
$minion = $minion->app(MyApp->new);

auto_perform

my $bool = $minion->auto_perform;
$minion  = $minion->auto_perform($bool);

Perform jobs automatically when a new one has been enqueued with "enqueue", very useful for testing.

jobs

my $jobs = $minion->jobs;
$minion  = $minion->jobs(Mango::Collection->new);

Mango::Collection object for jobs collection, defaults to one based on "prefix".

mango

my $mango = $minion->mango;
$minion   = $minion->mango(Mango->new);

Mango object used to store collections.

prefix

my $prefix = $minion->prefix;
$minion    = $minion->prefix('foo');

Prefix for collections, defaults to minion.

tasks

my $tasks = $minion->tasks;
$minion   = $minion->tasks({foo => sub {...}});

workers

my $workers = $minion->workers;
$minion     = $minion->workers(Mango::Collection->new);

Mango::Collection object for workers collection, defaults to one based on "prefix".

METHODS

Minion inherits all methods from Mojo::Base and implements the following new ones.

add_task

$minion = $minion->add_task(foo => sub {...});
