Usage

Dispatching job from command line to the queue

Make sure that you either use sync connection (see default property in config/queue.php) or run queue worker:

Then dispatch command with:

if YourJob class is located under \App\Jobs or specify full class name with namespace:

Running jobs immediately

If you want to run job right now without posting it to queue use job:dispatchNow command:

Dispatching jobs with parameters

John and 1990-01-01 values will be passed to YourJob constructor as $name and $birthDate arguments:

Using job with parameters from command line and PHP code

Often a job is already in use somewhere from PHP code and if it has constructor arguments that must have specific type, then it can be required to parse command line parameters.

For this purpose implement FromParameters interface:

Job boilerplate

Job classes always use the same interface ShouldQueue and Dispatchable, InteractsWithQueue, Queueable, SerializesModels traits.

To avoid such boilerplate your jobs can extend MichaelLedin\LaravelJob\Job class:

It also includes default FromParameters interface implementation that is equivalent to calling constructor with arguments provided by command line parameters without any parsing.
To add parsing override fromParameters method.
