FAQ
Example:
In general, it is recommended to use always a project to download your libraries. In an application normally there is more than one library needed.
- Some hosting areas are not accessible by a terminal or SSH. Then it is not possible to use Composer.
- To use Composer is sometimes complicated. Especially for beginners.
- Composer needs much resources. Sometimes they are not available on a simple webspace.
- If you are using private repositories you don't need to share your credentials. You can set up everything on our site and then you provide a simple download link to your team member.
- Simplify your Composer build process. Use our own command line tool to download the vendor folder as binary. This makes your build process faster and you don't need to expose your credentials for private repositories.
Informations about the package work
MyCLabs\Work is a work queue library letting you run tasks in background using a generic abstraction.
It's intent is to be compatible with classic work queue solutions (RabbitMQ, Beanstalkd, …) while offering a high level abstraction.
Current implementations:
- InMemory: synchronous implementation, task are executed directly (useful for tests or dev environments)
- RabbitMQ
- Beanstalkd
Feel free to contribute and submit other implementations (Gearman, …).
Extended guides:
- The InMemory adapter
- The RabbitMQ adapter
- The Beanstalkd adapter
- Listening to events
How it works
In you code (HTTP request for example), you can run a task in background:
Separately, you set up a worker to run continuously on the command line (like a deamon):
This worker simply calls:
Defining tasks
Define a task:
And define the code that executes the task:
Execute a task and wait for its result
The run($task) method runs a task in background.
If you want to wait for the result of that task, you have to use a WorkDispatcher that implements the
\MyCLabs\Work\Dispatcher\SynchronousWorkDispatcher interface.
For example, the RabbitMQ adapter implements this interface.
That interface offers the runAndWait method:

You can run the tests with PHPUnit:
Some functional tests need external programs like RabbitMQ or Beanstalkd. For practical reasons, you can boot a VM very quickly using Vagrant and the included configuration. You can then run the tests in the VM:
