Having more than one method in a sidekiq worker class - ruby

Question

I have a sidekiq worker class. I currently implemented it this way. It works when I call PROCESS, and it will queue the method called PERFORM. But i would like to have more than one method that I can queue.
As a side note, is there a difference doing this and simply doing SocialSharer.delay.perform?
# I trigger by using SocialSharer.process("xxx")
class SocialSharer
include Sidekiq::Worker
def perform(user_id)
# does things
end
def perform_other_things
#i do not know how to trigger this
end
class << self
def process(user_id)
Sidekiq::Client.enqueue(SocialSharer,user_id)
end
end
end

Answer 1

SocialSharer.delay.perform would delay a class method called perform. Your perform method is an instance method.
Workers are designed to be one class per job. The job is started via the perform method. You can use delay to kick off any number of different class methods on a class, like so:
class Foo
def self.a(count)
end
def self.b(name)
end
end
Foo.delay.a(10)
Foo.delay.b('bob')

Answer 2

Well, if you really want to have all "performable" methods in one class, I'd suggest you to rename perform method to something different (say, perform_something), and create a new perform method which would dispatch the control flow:
class SocialSharer
include Sidekiq::Worker
# the 3 lines below may be replaced with `alias_method :perform, :public_send`
def perform(method, *args)
self.public_send(method, *args)
end
def perform_something(user_id)
# does things
end
def perform_other_things
# does other things
end
def self.process(user_id)
Sidekiq::Client.enqueue(SocialSharer, :perform_something, user_id)
Sidekiq::Client.enqueue(SocialSharer, :perform_other_things)
end
end
