Minion

A Mango job queue for the Mojolicious real-time web framework.

use Mojolicious::Lite;

my $uri = 'mongodb://<user>:<pass>@<server>/<database>';
plugin Minion => {uri => $uri};

# Slow task
app->minion->add_task(slow_log => sub {
  my ($job, $msg) = @_;
  sleep 5;
  $job->app->log->debug(qq{Received message "$msg".});
});

# Perform job in a background worker process
get '/log' => sub {
  my $self = shift;
  $self->minion->enqueue(slow_log => [$self->param('msg') // 'no message']);
  $self->render(text => 'Your message will be logged soon.');
};

app->start;
