scheduled job

Installation

composer require mattmezza/scheduled-job

Usage

1. Create a task

class MyTask extends TaskStandard {

    public function getDescriptionString(): string
    {
        return 'Task description';
    }

    public function run(array $allParam)
    {
        // do something
    }
}

2. Create a job

class MyJob extends JobStandard {

    public function getDescriptionString(): string
    {
        return 'Job description';
    }

    public function getAllTask(): array
    {
        return [
            new MyTask(),
        ];
    }
}

3. Run the job

(new JobExecutorStandard())->execute($job, $argv]);

4. Observe jobs and tasks

You can attach observers to both jobs and tasks.

$job->addObserver(new JobLogger());
$task->addObserver(new TaskLogger());

You can define custom observers by implementing JobObserver and TaskObserver.

5. Automate with cron

Create a PHP script file that you can run via cron ~/your-project/your-job.php:

#!/usr/bin/env php

<?php

$job = ... # create the job as above

try {
    (new JobExecutorStandard())->execute($job, $argv]);
} catch (YourException $error) {
    // Oops, something happened...
}

Add the cron entry in the crontab via crontab -e:

# run five minutes after midnight, every day 
5 0 * * * $HOME/your-project/your-job.php >> $HOME/tmp/out 2>&1

Development

• Would be nice to add different kind of jobs each one specialized in a particular way (i.e. memory intensive etc...)
