NAME

Dancer2::Plugin::Queue - Dancer2 plugin for message queue abstractions

VERSION

version 0.004

SYNOPSIS

# in config.yml

plugins:
  Queue:
    default:
      class: Array
      options:
        name: not_a_real_queue

# in your app

use Dancer2::Plugin::Queue;

post '/add_fortune' => sub {
  # assume a 'fortune' parameter submitted
  queue->add_msg( params->{fortune} );
  # ...
};

get '/tell_fortune' => sub {
  my ($msg, $body) = queue->get_msg;
  queue->remove_msg( $msg );
  return "Your fortune: $body";
};

DESCRIPTION

This module provides a generic interface to a message queue. Message queue implementations must implement the Dancer2::Plugin::Queue::Role::Queue role, which defines the interface to abstract the specifics of the backend.

CONFIGURATION

Queue objects are defined by a NAME => HASHREF pair. The hash reference must contain a 'class' key, whose value is a class name suffix that will be appended to Dancer2::Plugin::Queue::. The resulting class will be loaded on demand. If the hash reference contains an 'options' key, its value will be passed to the constructor when the queue object is created.

USAGE

queue

queue;
queue($name);

This function returns a Dancer2::Plugin::Queue::* object. If no $name is provided, it attempts to return a default object. If there is only a single queue defined, it will be used as the default. If there is more than one, a queue called 'default' will be the default. If there are more than one and none are named 'default', an error will be thrown.

queue->add_msg

queue->add_msg( $data );

Adds $data to the queue. It is up to the plugin implementation (or backend) to serialize or otherwise modify $data.

queue->get_msg

( $msg, $data ) = queue->get_msg;

Dequeues a message from the queue. $msg will be either a 'raw' message object from the backend or else an identifier that can be used with remove_msg. $data should ideally be the same as the enqueued $data, subject to any round-trip limitations of the backend.

queue->remove_msg

queue->remove_msg( $msg );

Removes a message permanently from the queue (if not already done by get_msg).

Some message queue implementations require handled messages to be manually removed from the queue or else the message will time-out and be available again.

This method should always be called after a message has been handled in case the backend requires such cleanup. For implementations that do not have message durability, this method may do nothing.
