Swagger = Resque + ActiveRecord - Redis¶ ↑

Swagger marries the power and robustness of Resque with the trivial setup of delayed_job. Swagger allows you to use all the features of Resque (github.com/defunkt/resque) without any of the “Redis” by adding one table to your existing database.

Getting Started¶ ↑

1. Add resque and swagger to your gem dependencies (order is important)¶ ↑

config.gem 'resque'
config.gem 'swagger'

2. In your rails app, create the file initializers/resque.rb with the following:¶ ↑

environment = ENV['RAILS_ENV'] || 'development'
database    = YAML::load(ERB.new(IO.read(File.join(File.dirname(__FILE__), '..', 'database.yml'))).result)[environment]

require 'swagger'
Resque.swagger!
Resque.connect_to_database(database)

NOTE: This allows rails and the resque admin app to use the same initializer by executing at the console: resque-web config/initializers/resque.rb¶ ↑

3. Create an active record migration¶ ↑

create_table :resque_values do |table|
  table.column :key,      :string
  table.column :key_type, :string
  table.column :score,    :integer
  table.column :value,    :text
  table.timestamps
end

add_index :resque_values, :key
add_index :resque_values, [:key, :key_type]

Note on Patches/Pull Requests¶ ↑

• Fork the project.

• Make your feature addition or bug fix.

• Add tests for it. This is important so I don’t break it in a future version unintentionally.

• Commit, do not mess with rakefile, version, or history. (if you want to have your own version, that is fine but bump version in a commit by itself I can ignore when I pull)

• Send me a pull request. Bonus points for topic branches.
