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.

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:

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).

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.

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};
