## Queue Classic Example

This simple Rails app shows off the features of QueueClassic. Specifically, an application that

users multiple queues with distinct workers. Some files to note:

1. config/initializers/queue_classic.rb

2. db/migrate/20110519195855_add_queue_classic_tables.rb

3. app/models/user.rb

4. app/helpers/users_helper.rb

5. app/clock.rb

6. Procfile

7. Rakefile

### Install

    bundle

    rake db:create

    rake db:migrate

    update DATABASE_URL in config/initializers/queue_classic.rb

    rake qc:load_functions

### Starting Workers

There are 3 queues in this app: Default, email_jobs, image_jobs.

We are only really using email_jobs and image_jobs, so we will attach workers on these queues.

    QUEUE="image_jobs" rake jobs:work

    QUEUE="email_jobs" rake jobs:work

All of this is encoded in our Procfile. You are using Procfile, right?

Now, to start these workers and our web process, execute `foreman start` in the root directory of the app.

### Creating Jobs

    foreman start (If you have not already done so.)

    Visit /users/new

    Click "create"

    Watch output on the worker terminal windows

### Scheduled Jobs

  In app/clock.rb we setup a schedule for sending out welcome emails every day.

  Queue Classic encourages you to handle your scheduling of work via a gem that

  specializes in scheduling; **clockwork.** In our clock file, we schedule a

  method call for each day. This method call will find all of the users who have

  not received a welcome email and send each of those users a welcome email.
