Laravel Safe Dispatcher for Queues

For Laravel, it has the Queues feature, all cool and easy to use, right?

But what if it fails to dispatch a job? Then you have no idea for:

• What was the data inside the msg?
• What was the error? Traces?
• How to resend the Queue msg with minimal effort?

Then it will cost you a lot of time to check the log, sentry issues, create retry command,... Awful, IKR?

Worries no more, SafeDispatcher got your back. Check out how it works below.

Documentation:

• This README
• APIs
• GUI

How SafeDispatcher works?

SafeDispatcher will:

• Store the failed to dispatch msgs.
• Retry them on demand.
• You can even change the connection driver or the name on retry.
  • Would really come in handy when you have a SQSException (size > 256kb), then you can resend using redis/database driver.
• Ensure that your processing/flow is still working properly (no 500 server error from HTTP or exceptions from queue worker).
  • Super useful & helpful for mission-critical apps.

Requirements

• Laravel 9+ & 10+
• PHP 8.1 & 8.2

Installation

composer require shipsaas/safe-dispatcher

Usage

Dependency Injection

use SaasSafeDispatcher\Bus\SafeDispatcher;

class RegisterService
{
    public function __construct(public SafeDispatcher $dispatcher) {}

    public function register(): void
    {
        $user = User::create();
        
        $job = new SendEmailToRegisteredUser($user);
        $this->dispatcher->dispatch($job);
    }
}

Use Trait for your Job

use SaasSafeDispatcher\Traits\SafeDispatchable;

class SendEmailToRegisteredUser implements ShouldQueue
{
    use SafeDispatchable;
}

SendEmailToRegisteredUser::safeDispatch($user);

Quick Helper Functions

safeDispatch(new SendEmailToRegisteredUser($user));

safeDispatch(() => echo('Hello'));

safeDispatchSync(new SendEmailToRegisteredUser($user));

Cover Queue Facade (v1.2.0+)

use SaasSafeDispatcher\Services\SafeQueue;

SafeQueue::prepareFor(new Job())
    ->push('high'); # Push to "high" queue name

Notes

• SafeDispatcher hasn't supported with batching & chaining.
  • Alternatively, you can do normal ::safeDispatch and after finish your job, dispatch another,...
• SafeDispatcher considers the sync Queue as a Queue Msg.
  • Therefore, if the handling fails, Queue Msg will be stored too.
• SafeDispatcher ships some helpful APIs too, check it out: APIs

Tests

SafeDispatcher is not only have normal Unit Testing but also Integration Test (interacting with MySQL for DB and Redis for Queue).

We're planning to add other queue drivers too (database or SQS).

To run the test, hit this:

composer test

Contribute to the project
