This library offers a robust and flexible solution for managing and processing queued jobs in Go applications. Built on top of the Asynq task processing library, which uses Redis for storage, it provides advanced features like custom error handling, retries, priority queues, rate limiting, and job retention. Whether you're building a simple task runner or a complex distributed system, this library is designed to meet your needs with efficiency and ease. It also supports the setup of multiple workers across different machines, allowing for scalable and distributed job processing.
Ensure your Go environment is ready (requires Go version 1.21.4 or higher), then install the library:
go get -u github.com/kaptinlin/queueSet up your Redis connection with minimal hassle:
import "github.com/kaptinlin/queue"
redisConfig := queue.NewRedisConfig(
queue.WithRedisAddress("localhost:6379"),
queue.WithRedisDB(0),
queue.WithRedisPassword("your_password"),
)Create a client using the Redis configuration:
client, err := queue.NewClient(redisConfig)
if err != nil {
log.Fatalf("Error initializing client: %v", err)
}Enqueue jobs by specifying their type and a structured payload for clear and concise data handling:
type EmailPayload struct {
Email string `json:"email"`
Content string `json:"content"`
}
jobType := "email:send"
payload := EmailPayload{Email: "[email protected]", Content: "Welcome to our service!"}
_, err = client.Enqueue(jobType, payload, queue.WithDelay(5*time.Second))
if err != nil {
log.Printf("Failed to enqueue job: %v", err)
}Alternatively, for direct control over job configuration, use a Job instance:
job := queue.NewJob(jobType, payload, queue.WithDelay(5*time.Second))
if _, err := client.EnqueueJob(job); err != nil {
log.Printf("Failed to enqueue job: %v", err)
}This approach allows you to specify additional job options such as execution delay, directly within the Job object.
Define a function to process jobs of a specific type. Utilize the EmailPayload struct for type-safe payload handling:
func handleEmailSendJob(ctx context.Context, job *queue.Job) error {
var payload EmailPayload
if err := job.DecodePayload(&payload); err != nil {
return fmt.Errorf("failed to decode payload: %w", err)
}
log.Printf("Sending email to: %s with content: %s", payload.Email, payload.Content)
// Implement the email sending logic here.
return nil
}To achieve scalable and distributed job processing, you can register your function and start workers on different machines. Each worker independently processes jobs enqueued by the client:
worker, err := queue.NewWorker(redisConfig, queue.WithWorkerQueue("default", 1))
if err != nil {
log.Fatalf("Error creating worker: %v", err)
}
err = worker.Register("email:send", handleEmailSendJob)
if err != nil {
log.Fatalf("Failed to register handler: %v", err)
}
if err := worker.Start(); err != nil {
log.Fatalf("Failed to start worker: %v", err)
}Ensure a clean shutdown process:
func main() {
// Initialization...
c := make(chan os.Signal, 1)
signal.Notify(c, os.Interrupt)
<-c
if err := client.Stop(); err != nil {
log.Fatalf("Failed to stop client: %v", err)
}
worker.Stop()
