DESCRIPTION

Minion::Backend is an abstract base class for Minion backends, like Minion::Backend::Pg.

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.

broadcast

my $bool = $backend->broadcast('some_command');
my $bool = $backend->broadcast('some_command', [@args]);
my $bool = $backend->broadcast('some_command', [@args], [$id1, $id2, $id3]);

Broadcast remote control command to one or more workers.

dequeue

my $job_info = $backend->dequeue($worker_id, 0.5);
my $job_info = $backend->dequeue($worker_id, 0.5, {queues => ['important']});

Wait a given amount of time in seconds for a job, dequeue it and transition from inactive to active state, or return undef if queues were empty. Meant to be overloaded in a subclass.

These options are currently available:

id

id => '10023'

Dequeue a specific job.

queues

queues => ['important']

One or more queues to dequeue jobs from, defaults to default.

These fields are currently available:

args

args => ['foo', 'bar']

Job arguments.

id

id => '10023'

Job ID.

retries

retries => 3

Number of times job has been retried.

task

task => 'foo'

Task name.

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. Meant to be overloaded in a subclass.

These options are currently available:

attempts

attempts => 25

Number of times performing this job will be attempted, with a delay based on "backoff" in Minion after the first attempt, defaults to 1.

delay

delay => 10

Delay job for this many seconds (from now), defaults to 0.

notes

notes => {foo => 'bar', baz => [1, 2, 3]}

Hash reference with arbitrary metadata for this job.

parents

parents => [$id1, $id2, $id3]

One or more existing jobs this job depends on, and that need to have transitioned to the state finished before it can be processed.

priority

priority => 5

Job priority, defaults to 0. Jobs with a higher priority get performed first.

queue

queue => 'important'

Queue to put job in, defaults to default.

fail_job

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

Transition from active to failed state, and if there are attempts remaining, transition back to inactive with a delay based on "backoff" in Minion. Meant to be overloaded in a subclass.

finish_job

my $bool = $backend->finish_job($job_id, $retries);
my $bool = $backend->finish_job($job_id, $retries, 'All went well!');
my $bool = $backend->finish_job(
  $job_id, $retries, {whatever => 'All went well!'});

Transition from active to finished state. Meant to be overloaded in a subclass.

job_info

my $job_info = $backend->job_info($job_id);

Get information about a job, or return undef if job does not exist. Meant to be overloaded in a subclass.

# Check job state
my $state = $backend->job_info($job_id)->{state};

# Get job result
my $result = $backend->job_info($job_id)->{result};

delayed => 784111777

Epoch time job was delayed to.

finished

finished => 784111777

Epoch time job was finished.

notes

notes => {foo => 'bar', baz => [1, 2, 3]}

Hash reference with arbitrary metadata for this job.
