1:Introduction of job-queues

Jobs-queues is the one of best feature of laravel , to do work in the background while performing front actions, like if you have 100 emails to hit in the morning and performing particular functions , jobs-queues is the best optin to perform this action. It actually create a jobs table in database and work accordingly.Like wise if you have some payment payout system in your system which work on some cron job then job-queues is the option to perform such actions.

Taking a basic example of updating the databae with 100 users , calling from web.php to any controller to perform function.

2:Controller function for creating data

web.php code. Copy

<?php

use Illuminate\Support\Facades\Route;

use App\Http\Controllers\DeveloperCorner;

use App\Models\Role;

|--------------------------------------------------------------------------

| Web Routes

|--------------------------------------------------------------------------

| Here is where you can register web routes for your application. These

| routes are loaded by the RouteServiceProvider within a group which

| contains the "web" middleware group. Now create something great!

Route::get('/', function () {

return view('welcome');

});

Route::get('/createDeveloper',[DeveloperCorner::class,'createDeveloper']);

In Controller we are just creation some data to perform jobs in laravel
code: Copy

<?php

namespace App\Http\Controllers;

use Illuminate\Http\Request;

use App\Models\User;

use Hash;

use Auth;

class DeveloperCorner extends Controller

{

public function createDeveloper()

{

for($i=0;$i<100;$i++)

{

$user = new User();

$user->name = 'Developer Corner';

$user->email = 'developerCorner'.$i.'@yopmail.com';

$user->password = Hash::make('1234');

$user->save();

}

3:Configuration for job-queues

As 100 reocrds has been created , now we will create jobs table in database which stores jobs and process them one by one with FCFS( first come first serve).
command for table :Copy

php artisan queue:table

It will create migration file and then we have to create this migration in our database
command for migartion Copy

php artisan migrate

4:Making job-queues

This will create Jobs table in database
Now we will create our new job with name UpdateUserData
command for job: Copy

php artisan make:job UpdateUserData

Now for the testing the jobs in laravel we will change the name of the users in App\Jobs\UpdateUserData with the help of jobs , paste the following code in app/Jobs/UpdateUserData to update the user data and see the changes Copy

<?php

namespace App\Jobs;

use Illuminate\Bus\Queueable;

use Illuminate\Contracts\Queue\ShouldBeUnique;

use Illuminate\Contracts\Queue\ShouldQueue;

use Illuminate\Foundation\Bus\Dispatchable;

use Illuminate\Queue\InteractsWithQueue;

use Illuminate\Queue\SerializesModels;

use App\Models\User;

class UpdateUserData implements ShouldQueue

{

use Dispatchable, InteractsWithQueue, Queueable, SerializesModels;

/**

* Create a new job instance.

* @return void

public function __construct()

{

}

/**

* Execute the job.

* @return void

public function handle()

{

$users = User::get();

$i = 1;

foreach($users as $list){

User::where('id',$list->id)->Update(['name'=>'developerCorner'.$i.'']);

$i++;

}

in .env file make QUEUE_CONNECTION=sync to QUEUE_CONNECTION=database
.env Copy

QUEUE_CONNECTION=database

Now from controller we call this UpdateUserData job by using UpdateUserData::dispatch() method
code: Copy

use App\Jobs\UpdateUserData;

public function UpdateUserData()

{

UpdateUserData::dispatch();

}

Now you will see an entry in jobs table.

5:Calling the job-queues

Now hit following command in your terminal
command:Copy

php artisan queue:work

This will take the data from jobs database and perform the corresponding functions in a queue.
If you change the functionality of your job then hit this command
command for restart: Copy

php artisan queue:restart

again php artisan queue:work

if you want to make terminal work in the backgroud after you closes your console or terminal use this
Copy

nohup php artisan queue:work &

Note : On live servers sometimes it automatically stops due to server reboot then use cronjob and call the artisan from url .

Route::get('jobsWork', function () { Artisan::call('queue:work'); });
