Dispatching/Delaying Jobs in Laravel

 

Dispatching/Delaying Jobs

You can use the below commands to dispatch the jobs from the controller methods.

/** Option 1 */
Queue::push(new MatchSendEmail($options));

/** Option 2 */
dispatch(new MatchSendEmail($options));

/** Option 3 */
(new MatchSendEmail($options))->dispatch();

/** Option 4 */
\App\Jobs\MatchSendEmail::dispatch($options);

If you would like to dispatch a job conditionally, you may use the dispatchIf and dispatch unless methods.

MatchSendEmail::dispatchIf($accountActive === true, $options);
MatchSendEmail::dispatchUnless($accountSuspended === false, $options);

Jobs can be dispatched at specific queues also.

MatchSendEmail::dispatch($options)->onQueue(‘Email’);

You can also delay your Jobs to a given time.

MatchSendEmail::dispatch($options)->delay(now()->addMinutes(10));

We can also set tries and timeout properties to the job class, and the queue driver will use these values.

After Dispatching a job, you need to process this queue; for this, you have to start employment by using a straightforward command.

php artisan queue:work

You can also specify queue connection, the queue’s priorities, length of time a job can run, sleep duration between two job executions, process all posts, or a single job.

Laravel also provides facilities to deal with failed jobs. You can specify the number of times a job can be attempted before a job will be added in the failed job table using the “–tries=5” (number defines the attempts) command with the “queue:work” command when you run the queue worker. You can also specify the delay time for every effort after the job will be failed using “–delay=5” (number defines the seconds).

For example:

php artisan queue:work –tries=5 –delay=5
