Running the Hobbyist

The hobbyist is the worker process that listens on a queue and processes hobbies as they arrive.

# listen on the default queue
php hobbyist.php

# listen on a specific queue
php hobbyist.php emails

Dispatching a Hobby

require_once __DIR__ . '/vendor/autoload.php';

use hobbies\LogMessageHobby;

$dispatcher = new src\Dispatcher(new Predis\Client());

// dispatches to whichever queue the hobby declares via #[OnQueue]
$dispatcher->dispatch(new LogMessageHobby('Hello from the queue!'));
