How can I use queue on custom class in laravel? - laravel

Question

In laravel 5.5 I was making an SMS service
SMS::to("xxxx")->send(new WelcomeSms());
or
WelcomeSms::message("xxx")->sendTo("xxx");
in here I want to use queue. When I call sendTo it must be work with queue. How can I do that?

All about Queues in Laravel you can read in the documentation. You need to generate Queue Job and dispatch SmsMessage from a controller:
SmsMessage Class:
class SmsMessage {
private $number;
private $message;
public function getNumber(): ?string {
return $this->number;
}
public function setNumber(string $number) {
$this->number = $number
}
public function getMessage(): ?string {
return $this->message;
}
public function setMessage(string $message) {
$this->message = $message
}
}
Controller:
Then from a controller method dispatch some data and put it on the queue:
class SmsController extends Controller
{
/**
* Send new sms
*
* #param Request $request
* #return Response
*/
public function send(Request $request)
{
// Some code here
$smsMessage = new SmsMessage();
$smsMessage->setNumber('xxx');
$smsMessage->setMessage('Lorem ipsum ...');
SendSms::dispatch($smsMessage);
}
}
SmsQueueJob Class:
php artisan make:job SmsQueueJob
It will generate a simple skeleton class:
class SmsQueueJob implements ShouldQueue
{
use Dispatchable, InteractsWithQueue, Queueable, SerializesModels;
protected $smsMessage;
/**
* Create a new job instance.
*
* #param SmsMessage $smsMessage
* #return void
*/
public function __construct(SmsMessage $smsMessage)
{
$this->smsMessage= $smsMessage;
}
/**
* Execute the job.
*
* #return void
*/
public function handle()
{
// Here send the SMS message
SMS::to($sms->getNumber())->send(new WelcomeSms());
}
}
You can generate new queue, new connection for this queue
To run queue worker run command below:
php artisan queue:work
In production environment you should run this command as a Cron Job or use Supervisor
