resque-delayable

A resque plugin which adds a new method rdelay to objects. Methods called with rdelay are executed asynchronously by resque, allowing your code to continue.

Features

  • Adds rdelay instance and class methods to your models. Works with ActiveRecord, Mongoid and MongoMapper objects out of the box
  • Works with resque-scheduler. Schedule method execution for the future, obj.rdelay(:run_in => 5.minutes).method
  • Get rdelay on any class methods with include ResqueDelayable
  • Create a custom seralizer plugin to get rdelay on your own instance methods

Installation

  • Add gem "resque-delayable" to your Gemfile or gem install resque-delayable

Examples

class User
  include ResqueDelayable

  def self.recompute_caches() ...
  def get(name) ...
  def send_welcome_email ...
end

# Works with any serializable instance. ActiveRecord, Mongoid & MongoMapper
# are supported out of the box
u = User.get("james")
u.rdelay.send_welcome_email

# Works with all class methods
User.rdelay.recompute_caches

Contributing to resque-delayable

  • Check out the latest master to make sure the feature hasn't been implemented or the bug hasn't been fixed yet
  • Check out the issue tracker to make sure someone already hasn't requested it and/or contributed it
  • Fork the project
  • Start a feature/bugfix branch
  • Commit and push until you are happy with your contribution
  • Make sure to add tests for it. This is important so I don't break it in a future version unintentionally.
  • Please try not to mess with the Rakefile, version, or history. If you want to have your own version, or is otherwise necessary, that is fine, but please isolate to its own commit so I can cherry-pick around it.
