Resque Queueable¶ ↑

This gem extends ActiveRecord and Resque to add an automatic queue to any persisted model. Simply mark the model as ‘queueable’ and then call methods on the queue.

Assumption is that you have a working knowledge of Resque, because it is awesome:

github.com/defunkt/resque

To get it, just drop in the gem and you’re good to go:

gem 'resque-queueable', :git => "http://github.com/kmcphillips/resque-queueable"

The following is the old boring way:

class Pie < ActiveRecord::Base
  def describe(adj)
    "This pie is #{adj}"
  end

  def async_describe(adj)
    Resque.enque(self.class, self.id, :describe, adj)
  end

  def self.perform(id, method, *args)
    self.find(id).send(method, args)
  end
end

Pie.last.async_describe "delicious"

It can be replaced with:

class Pie < ActiveRecord::Base
  resqueable :queue_name

  def describe(adj)
    "This pie is #{adj}"
  end
end

Pie.last.queue.describe "delicious"

Shiny.
