The standard example of this is Web Services, where certain things //! need to be processed, but processing them while a user is waiting for their browser to respond //! might not be the best experience. //! //! ### Usage //! #### Add Background Jobs to your project //! ```toml //! [dependencies] //! actix = "0.8" //! background-jobs = "0.6.0" //! anyhow = "1.0" //! futures = "0.1" //! serde = { version = "1.0", features = ["derive"] } //! ``` //! //! #### To get started with Background Jobs, first you should define a job. //! Jobs are a combination of the data required to perform an operation, and the logic of that //! operation. They implment the `Job`, `serde::Serialize`, and `serde::DeserializeOwned`. //! //! ```rust,ignore //! use anyhow::Error; //! use background_jobs::Job; //! use futures::future::{ok, Ready}; //! //! #[derive(Clone, Debug, serde::Deserialize, serde::Serialize)] //! pub struct MyJob { //! some_usize: usize, //! other_usize: usize, //! } //! //! impl MyJob { //! pub fn new(some_usize: usize, other_usize: usize) -> Self { //! MyJob { //! some_usize, //! other_usize, //! } //! } //! } //! //! impl Job for MyJob { //! type State = (); //! type Future = Ready>; //! //! const NAME: &'static str = "MyJob"; //! //! fn run(self, _: Self::State) -> Self::Future { //! println!("args: {:?}", self); //! //! ok(()) //! } //! } //! ``` //! //! The run method for a job takes an additional argument, which is the state the job expects to //! use. The state for all jobs defined in an application must be the same. By default, the state //! is an empty tuple, but it's likely you'll want to pass in some Actix address, or something //! else. //! //! Let's re-define the job to care about some application state. //! //! ```rust,ignore //! use anyhow::Error; //! use background_jobs::Job; //! use futures::future::{ok, Ready}; //! //! #[derive(Clone, Debug)] //! pub struct MyState { //! pub app_name: String, //! } //! //! impl MyState { //! pub fn new(app_name: &str) -> Self { //! MyState { //! app_name: app_name.to_owned(), //! } //! } //! } //! //! impl Job for MyJob { //! type State = MyState; //! type Future = Ready>; //! //! const NAME: &'static str = "MyJob"; //! //! fn run(self, state: Self::State) -> Self::Future { //! info!("{}: args, {:?}", state.app_name, self); //! //! ok(()) //! } //! } //! ``` //! //! #### Running jobs //! By default, this crate ships with the `background-jobs-actix` feature enabled. This uses the //! `background-jobs-actix` crate to spin up a Server and Workers, and provides a mechanism for //! spawning new jobs. //! //! `background-jobs-actix` on it's own doesn't have a mechanism for storing worker state. This //! can be implemented manually by implementing the `Storage` trait from `background-jobs-core`, or the provided in-memory store can be used. //! //! With that out of the way, back to the examples: //! //! ##### Main //! ```rust,ignore //! use anyhow::Error; //! use background_jobs::{ServerConfig, memory_storage::Storage, WorkerConfig}; //! //! #[actix_rt::main] //! async fn main() -> Result<(), Error> { //! // Set up our Storage //! let storage = Storage::new(); //! //! // Start the application server. This guards access to to the jobs store //! let queue_handle = ServerConfig::new(storage).start(); //! //! // Configure and start our workers //! WorkerConfig::new(move || MyState::new("My App")) //! .register::() //! .set_processor_count(DEFAULT_QUEUE, 16) //! .start(queue_handle.clone()); //! //! // Queue our jobs //! queue_handle.queue(MyJob::new(1, 2))?; //! queue_handle.queue(MyJob::new(3, 4))?; //! queue_handle.queue(MyJob::new(5, 6))?; //! //! // Block on Actix //! actix_rt::signal::ctrl_c().await?; //! Ok(()) //! } //! ``` //! //! ##### Complete Example //! For the complete example project, see //! [the examples folder](https://git.asonix.dog/Aardwolf/background-jobs/src/branch/master/examples/actix-example) //! //! #### Bringing your own server/worker implementation //! If you want to create your own jobs processor based on this idea, you can depend on the //! `background-jobs-core` crate, which provides the Job trait, as well as some //! other useful types for implementing a jobs processor and job store. pub use background_jobs_core::{memory_storage, Backoff, Job, JobStat, MaxRetries, Stats}; #[cfg(feature = "background-jobs-actix")] pub use background_jobs_actix::{create_server, ActixJob, QueueHandle, WorkerConfig};
