DESCRIPTION

Minion::Backend is an abstract base class for Minion backends.

ATTRIBUTES

Minion::Backend implements the following attributes.

minion

my $minion = $backend->minion;
$backend   = $backend->minion(Minion->new);

Minion object this backend belongs to.

METHODS

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

dequeue

my $info = $backend->dequeue($worker_id);

Dequeue job and transition from inactive to active state or return undef if queue was empty. Meant to be overloaded in a subclass.

enqueue

my $job_id = $backend->enqueue('foo');
my $job_id = $backend->enqueue(foo => [@args]);
my $job_id = $backend->enqueue(foo => [@args] => {priority => 1});

Enqueue a new job with inactive state. You can also append a callback to perform operation non-blocking. Meant to be overloaded in a subclass.

$backend->enqueue(foo => sub {
  my ($backend, $err, $job_id) = @_;
  ...
});
Mojo::IOLoop->start unless Mojo::IOLoop->is_running;

fail_job

my $bool = $backend->fail_job($job_id);
my $bool = $backend->fail_job($job_id, 'Something went wrong!');

Returns the same information as "job_info" but in batches. Meant to be overloaded in a subclass.

list_workers

my $batch = $backend->list_workers($skip, $limit);

Returns the same information as "worker_info" but in batches. Meant to be overloaded in a subclass.

my $stats = $backend->stats;

Get statistics for jobs and workers. Meant to be overloaded in a subclass.
