Definition

Jobs:

• are simple classes that can do one thing or multiple related things.
• Job is a name given to a class that is usually created to be queued (it's execution is usually deferred for later, after the execution of previous Jobs are completed).
• Jobs can be scheduled to be executed later by a queuing mechanism (queue system like beanstalkd).
• When a Job class is dispatched, it performs its specific job and dies.
• Laravel's queue worker will process every Job as it's pushed onto the queue.

Principles

• A Container MAY have more than one Job.

Rules

• All Jobs MUST extend from App\Ship\Parents\Jobs\Job.

Folder Structure

 - app
    - Containers
        - {container-name}
            - Jobs
                - DoSomethingJob.php
                - DoSomethingElseJob.php

Code Samples

CreateAndValidateAddress with third party Job:

<?php

namespace App\Containers\Shipment\Jobs;

use App\Port\Job\Abstracts\Job;

class CreateAndValidateAddressJob extends Job
{
    private $recipients;

    public function __construct(array $recipients)
    {
        $this->recipients = $recipients;
    }

    public function handle()
    {
        foreach ($this->recipients as $recipient) {
            // do whatever you like
        }
    }
}

Check the parent Job class.

Usage from Action:

<?php

// using helper function
dispatch(new CreateAndValidateAddressJob($recipients));

// manually
App::make(\Illuminate\Contracts\Bus\Dispatcher\Dispatcher::class)->dispatch(New StatusChangedJob($object));
