Laravel Queue Job

Laravel queue job allows you to process time intensive tasks in background. It results in faster speed and better user experience. With laravel queue jobs you can delay a time-consuming task until a later time. Delaying the time consuming task will speeds up web requests and improve the performance of the applications. For example sending email in bulk is a time-consuming task. We can create a queue job to send email to the user in the background. Laravel queues provide a unified API across various queue backends, such as Amazon SQS, Beanstalk, Redis, or even a relational database.

In this step by step tutorial I will demonstrate you with example how to create and use laravel queue jobs in laravel. In this tutorial I will share a simple example to create a queue job with database driver to send email. Please follow the steps given below:

Step 1 – Install Laravel 8 App

First of all we need to create a fresh laravel project, download and install Laravel 8 using the below command

composer create-project --prefer-dist laravel/laravel blog

1	composer create-project --prefer-dist laravel/laravel blog

Step 2 – Configuration SMTP & Database

In this step we will be setting smtp detail for mail configuration in Laravel, We will be using following Gmail SMTP details such as username, password inside the .env file.

DB_CONNECTION=mysql
DB_HOST=127.0.0.1
DB_PORT=3306
DB_DATABASE=db name
DB_USERNAME=db user name
DB_PASSWORD=db password

MAIL_DRIVER=smtp
MAIL_HOST=smtp.gmail.com 
MAIL_PORT=587 
MAIL_USERNAME=Add your user name here
MAIL_PASSWORD=Add your password here
MAIL_ENCRYPTION=tls

DB_CONNECTION=mysql

DB_HOST=127.0.0.1

DB_PORT=3306

DB_DATABASE=db name

DB_USERNAME=db user name

DB_PASSWORD=db password

MAIL_DRIVER=smtp

MAIL_HOST=smtp.gmail.com

MAIL_PORT=587

MAIL_USERNAME=Add your user name here

MAIL_PASSWORD=Add your password here

MAIL_ENCRYPTION=tls

Step 3 – Create Mailable Class

Now, lets create a new laravel mailable class using following artisan command:

php artisan make:mail SendEmailTest

1	php artisan make:mail SendEmailTest

Open SendEmailTest.php file and copy bellow code and post on that file.

app/Mail/SendEmailTest.php

<?php
namespace App\Mail;  
use Illuminate\Bus\Queueable;
use Illuminate\Contracts\Queue\ShouldQueue;
use Illuminate\Mail\Mailable;
use Illuminate\Queue\SerializesModels;
  class SendEmailTest extends Mailable
{
    use Queueable, SerializesModels;  
    /**
     * Create a new message instance.
     *
     * @return void
     */
    public function __construct()
    {   
    }
  
    /**
     * Build the message.
     *
     * @return $this
     */
    public function build()
    {
        return $this->view('emails.test');
    }
}

<?php

namespace App\Mail;

use Illuminate\Bus\Queueable;

use Illuminate\Contracts\Queue\ShouldQueue;

use Illuminate\Mail\Mailable;

use Illuminate\Queue\SerializesModels;

class SendEmailTest extends Mailable

{

use Queueable, SerializesModels;

/**

* Create a new message instance.

* @return void

public function __construct()

{

}

/**

* Build the message.

* @return $this

public function build()

{

return $this->view('emails.test');

}

Ok, now create email view using blade file.

resources/views/emails/test.blade.php

Step 4: Configuration of Queue

QUEUE_CONNECTION=database

1	QUEUE_CONNECTION=database

After that generate migration and create tables for queue. So run command for queue database tables:

Create Migration:

php artisan queue:table

1	php artisan queue:table

Run Migration:

php artisan migrate

1	php artisan migrate

Step 5: Create Queue Job for Sending Email

Now we will create a queue job to send emails using following artisan command:

php artisan make:job SendEmailJob

1	php artisan make:job SendEmailJob

Now, open SendEmailJob.php file and put bellow code on that file.

app/Jobs/SendEmailJob.php

<?php
  
namespace App\Jobs;
  
use Illuminate\Bus\Queueable;
use Illuminate\Contracts\Queue\ShouldQueue;
use Illuminate\Foundation\Bus\Dispatchable;
use Illuminate\Queue\InteractsWithQueue;
use Illuminate\Queue\SerializesModels;
use App\Mail\SendEmailTest;
use Mail;  
class SendEmailJob implements ShouldQueue
{
    use Dispatchable, InteractsWithQueue, Queueable, SerializesModels;
  
    protected $details;  
    /**
     * Create a new job instance.
     *
     * @return void
     */
    public function __construct($details)
    {
        $this->details = $details;
    }
  
    /**
     * Execute the job.
     *
     * @return void
     */
    public function handle()
    {
        $email = new SendEmailTest();
        Mail::to($this->details['email'])->send($email);
    }
}

<?php

namespace App\Jobs;

use Illuminate\Bus\Queueable;

use Illuminate\Contracts\Queue\ShouldQueue;

use Illuminate\Foundation\Bus\Dispatchable;

use Illuminate\Queue\InteractsWithQueue;

use Illuminate\Queue\SerializesModels;

use App\Mail\SendEmailTest;

use Mail;

class SendEmailJob implements ShouldQueue

{

use Dispatchable, InteractsWithQueue, Queueable, SerializesModels;

protected $details;

/**

* Create a new job instance.

* @return void

public function __construct($details)

{

$this->details = $details;

}

/**

* Execute the job.

* @return void

public function handle()

{

$email = new SendEmailTest();

Mail::to($this->details['email'])->send($email);

}

Step 6: Create Route for Queue Job

After this, we need to define routes in “routes/web.php” file. Lets open “routes/web.php” file and add the following routes in it.

routes/web.php

Route::get('email-test', function(){
  
    $details['email'] = 'your_email@gmail.com';
  
    dispatch(new App\Jobs\SendEmailJob($details));
  
    dd('done');
});

Route::get('email-test', function(){

$details['email'] = 'your_email@gmail.com';

dispatch(new App\Jobs\SendEmailJob($details));

dd('done');

});

process laravel queue command.

php artisan queue:listen

1	php artisan queue:listen

let see the code changes we made

See configuration.

php artisan config:clear

1	php artisan config:clear

Step 7 – Run Development Server

Now we are ready to run our example so lets start the development server using following artisan command –

php artisan serve

1	php artisan serve

Now, open the following URL in browser to see the output –

http://localhost:8000/email-test

1	http://localhost:8000/email-test
