Struct faktory::Producer

pub struct Producer<S: Read + Write> { /* private fields */ }

Producer is used to enqueue new jobs that will in turn be processed by Faktory workers.

Connecting to Faktory

To issue jobs, the Producer must first be connected to the Faktory server. Exactly how you do that depends on your setup. Faktory suggests using the FAKTORY_PROVIDER and FAKTORY_URL environment variables (see their docs for more information) with localhost:7419 as the fallback default. If you want this behavior, pass None to Producer::connect. If not, you can supply the URL directly to Producer::connect in the form:

protocol://[:password@]hostname[:port]

Issuing jobs

Most of the lifetime of a Producer will be spent creating and enqueueing jobs for Faktory workers. This is done by passing a Job to Producer::enqueue. The most important part of a Job is its kind; this field dictates how workers will execute the job when they receive it. The string provided here must match a handler registered on the worker using ConsumerBuilder::register (or the equivalent handler registration method in workers written in other languages).

Since Faktory workers do not all need to be the same (you could have some written in Rust for performance-critical tasks, some in Ruby for more webby tasks, etc.), it may be the case that a given job can only be executed by some workers (e.g., if they job type is not registered at others). To allow for this, Faktory includes a labels field with each job. Jobs will only be sent to workers whose labels (see ConsumerBuilder::labels) match those set in Job::labels.

Examples

Connecting to an unsecured Faktory server using environment variables

use faktory::Producer;
let p = Producer::connect(None).unwrap();

Connecting to a secured Faktory server using an explicit URL

use faktory::Producer;
let p = Producer::connect(Some("tcp://:hunter2@localhost:7439")).unwrap();

Issuing a job using a Producer

use faktory::Job;
p.enqueue(Job::new("foobar", vec!["z"])).unwrap();

Implementations

impl Producer<TcpStream>

pub fn connect(url: Option<&str>) -> Result<Self, Error>

Connect to a Faktory server.

If url is not given, will use the standard Faktory environment variables. Specifically, FAKTORY_PROVIDER is read to get the name of the environment variable to get the address from (defaults to FAKTORY_URL), and then that environment variable is read to get the server address. If the latter environment variable is not defined, the connection will be made to

tcp://localhost:7419

If url is given, but does not specify a port, it defaults to 7419.

impl<S: Read + Write> Producer<S>

pub fn connect_with(stream: S, pwd: Option<String>) -> Result<Producer<S>, Error>

Connect to a Faktory server with a non-standard stream.

pub fn enqueue(&mut self, job: Job) -> Result<(), Error>

Enqueue the given job on the Faktory server.

Returns Ok if the job was successfully queued by the Faktory server.

pub fn info(&mut self) -> Result<Value, Error>

Retrieve information about the running server.

The returned value is the result of running the INFO command on the server.
