# GenQueue Verk
[](https://travis-ci.org/nsweeting/gen_queue_verk)
[](https://hex.pm/packages/gen_queue_verk)
This is an adapter for [GenQueue](https://github.com/nsweeting/gen_queue) to enable
functionaility with [Verk](https://github.com/edgurgel/verk).
## Installation
The package can be installed by adding `gen_queue_verk` to your list of dependencies in `mix.exs`:
```elixir
def deps do
[
{:gen_queue_verk, "~> 0.1.1"}
]
end
```
## Documentation
See [HexDocs](https://hexdocs.pm/gen_queue_verk) for additional documentation.
## Configuration
Before starting, please refer to the [Verk](https://github.com/edgurgel/verk) documentation
for details on configuration. This adapter handles zero `Verk` related config.
## Creating Enqueuers
We can start off by creating a new `GenQueue` module, which we will use to push jobs to
Exq.
```elixir
defmodule Enqueuer do
use GenQueue, otp_app: :my_app
end
```
Once we have our module setup, ensure we have our config pointing to the `GenQueue.Adapters.Verk`
adapter.
```elixir
config :my_app, Enqueuer, [
adapter: GenQueue.Adapters.Verk
]
```
## Starting Enqueuers
By default, `gen_queue_verk` does not start Verk on application start. So we must add
our new `Enqueuer` module to our supervision tree.
```elixir
children = [
supervisor(Enqueuer, []),
]
```
## Creating Jobs
Jobs are simply modules with a `perform` method.
```elixir
defmodule MyJob do
def perform(arg1) do
IO.inspect(arg1)
end
end
```
## Enqueuing Jobs
We can now easily enqueue jobs to `Verk`. The adapter will handle a variety of argument formats.
```elixir
# Push MyJob to "default" queue
{:ok, job} = Enqueuer.push(MyJob)
# Push MyJob to "default" queue
{:ok, job} = Enqueuer.push({MyJob})
# Push MyJob to "default" queue with "arg1"
{:ok, job} = Enqueuer.push({MyJob, "arg1"})
# Push MyJob to "default" queue with no args
{:ok, job} = Enqueuer.push({MyJob, []})
# Push MyJob to "default" queue with "arg1" and "arg2"
{:ok, job} = Enqueuer.push({MyJob, ["arg1", "arg2"]})
# Push MyJob to "foo" queue with "arg1"
{:ok, job} = Enqueuer.push({MyJob, "arg1"}, [queue: "foo"])
# Schedule MyJob to "default" queue with "arg1" in 10 seconds
{:ok, job} = Enqueuer.push({MyJob, "arg1"}, [delay: 10_000])
# Schedule MyJob to "default" queue with "arg1" at a specific time
date = DateTime.utc_now()
{:ok, job} = Enqueuer.push({MyJob, "arg1"}, [delay: date])
```
## Testing
Optionally, we can also have our tests use the `GenQueue.Adapters.MockJob` adapter.
```elixir
config :my_app, Enqueuer, [
adapter: GenQueue.Adapters.MockJob
]
```
This mock adapter uses the standard `GenQueue.Test` helpers to send the job payload
back to the current processes mailbox (or another named process) instead of actually
enqueuing the job to redis.
```elixir
defmodule MyJobTest do
use ExUnit.Case, async: true
import GenQueue.Test
setup do
setup_test_queue(Enqueuer)
end
test "my enqueuer works" do
{:ok, _} = Enqueuer.push(Job)
assert_receive(%GenQueue.Job{module: Job, args: []})
end
end
```
If your jobs are being enqueued outside of the current process, we can use named
processes to recieve the job. This wont be async safe.
```elixir
import GenQueue.Test
setup do
setup_global_test_queue(Enqueuer, :my_process_name)
end
```
