How to use job(queue) with redis server in laravel 5.2

How to use job(queue) with redis server in laravel 5.2:

For using jobs in Laravel 5.2 with redis server, we have to do following steps:

1. First to install redis server on your machine for this, run this command on your terminal

sudo apt install redis-server

It will install your redis server. For start redis server run this command

redis-server

2. Now install the dependency in your project. For this write this in your composer.json

predis/predis ~1.0

and update composer via

composer update

3.  Now do some settings

(a) In .env file change QUEUE_DRIVER=sync to QUEUE_DRIVER=redis
(b) In config/queue.php file change 'default' => env('QUEUE_DRIVER', 'redis')
(c) In config/session.php file change  'driver' => env('SESSION_DRIVER', 'redis')

4. Now run this command on terminal for create a new queue

php artisan make:job InsertFeedData

5. Now go to this file job/InsertFeedData.php and write your code in handle function which you want to run as a job.


    class InsertFeedData extends Job implements ShouldQueue
{
    use InteractsWithQueue, SerializesModels;

    protected $user;
    protected $video;
    protected $type;

    /**
     * Create a new job instance.
     *
     * @return void
     */
    public function __construct($user, $video, $type)
    {
        $this->user = $user;
        $this->video = $video;
        $this->type = $type;
    }

    /**
     * Execute the job.
     *
     * @return void
     */
    public function handle()
    {
        $followers = Follower::where('user_id', $this->user)->pluck('follower_id');
        Feed::create(['video_id' => $this->video, 'follower_id' => $this->user, 'type' => $this->type]);
        foreach ($followers as $follower) {
            $feed = Feed::create(['video_id' => $this->video, 'follower_id' => $follower, 'type' => $this->type]);
            print_r($feed);
        }
    }
}


6. Now you can use this class in your controller via

$this->dispatch(new InsertFeedData(Utilities::getUserId(), $video->id, 'share'));

7. You can check it via running this command on terminal

php artisan queue:listen
