# Resque::Serializer

[![Build Status](https://travis-ci.org/rringler/resque-serializer.svg?branch=master)](https://travis-ci.org/rringler/resque-serializer)

A Resque plugin which ensures for a given queue, that only one worker is executing a job at any given time.

It is slightly more flexible than [Resque::LonelyJob](https://github.com/wallace/resque-lonely_job).

This gem may be helpful to avoid database lock contention.

## Installation

Add this line to your application's Gemfile:

```ruby
gem 'resque-serializer'
```

And then execute:

$ bundle

Or install it yourself as:

$ gem install resque-serializer

## Usage

### TLDR
```
| Lock Lifetime | :queue | :job | :both | :combined |
| -------------: | :----: | :---: | :----: | :-------: |
| before_enqueue | ✓ | | ✓ | ✓ |
| enqueue | | | | | | | |
| after_enqueue | | | | | | | |
| before_dequeue | | | ✓ | | ✓ | | |
| dequeue | | | | | | | | | |
| after_dequeue | ✗ | | | ✗ | | | |
| before_perform | | | | | | | |
| perform | | | | | | | |
| after_perform | | ✗ | ✗ | ✗ |
```

### Example #1 -- Serializing the queue

```ruby
require 'resque-serializer'

class SerializedJob
extend Resque::Plugins::Serializer

@queue = :default

serialize :queue

def self.perform
# work
end
end
```

Only one of job with identical arguments will be allowed to be queued at a time. As soon as the job is dequeued to begin executing, an identical job may be queued (and may begin executing.)

### Example #2 -- Serializing the job

```ruby
require 'resque-serializer'

class SerializedJob
extend Resque::Plugins::Serializer

@queue = :default

serialize :job

def self.perform
# work
end
end
```

Any number of these jobs may be queued, but only one job with identical arguments will be executed at a time. As soon as the executing job is completed, another queued job may be dequeued to execute.

### Example #3 -- Serializing both the queue & job (independently)

```ruby
require 'resque-serializer'

class SerializedJob
extend Resque::Plugins::Serializer

@queue = :default

serialize :both

def self.perform
# work
end
end
```

A combination of the first two examples; both the queue and the execution of identical jobs is serialized (independently.) An additional job may be queued if no identical job exists in the queue. Similarly, an additional job may begin executing if no identical job is currently executing.

### Example #4 -- Serializing both the queue & job (combined)

```ruby
require 'resque-serializer'

class SerializedJob
extend Resque::Plugins::Serializer

@queue = :default

serialize :combined

def self.perform
# work
end
end
```

Also a combination of the first two examples; both the queue and execution of identical jobs is serialized (together.) An additional job may not be queued if an identical job exists in the queue or execution.
