Laravel Chained Jobs Shared Data

Chained Jobs Shared Data is a package that helps you share some data (usually an array) between chained jobs.

🚀 Installation

You can install the package via composer:

composer require renoki-co/laravel-chained-jobs-shared-data

🙌 Usage

You just have to replace the default job’s Dispatchable and Queueable traits with the ones provided by this package.

// use Illuminate\Bus\Queueable;
// use Illuminate\Foundation\Bus\Dispatchable;
use RenokiCo\ChainedJobsSharedData\Traits\Dispatchable;
use RenokiCo\ChainedJobsSharedData\Traits\Queueable;
class MyJob implements ShouldQueue
{
    use Dispatchable, InteractsWithQueue, Queueable, SerializesModels;
    // the rest of job here
}

Use Case

The main use case is to share some data between chained jobs, while being able to modify it and be retrieved in the next jobs with the previous modifications.

CreateUser::withChain([
    new CreateApiKey,
    new MakeTestApiCall,
])->dispatch();

The CreateApiKey and MakeTestApiCall are the jobs that depend by the CreateUser at glance.

Without using this package’s traits, the only workaround would be to trigger the CreateApiKey in the CreateUser job, then trigger the next one, and the next one, etc. and you will end up bad code to manage and troubleshoot.

If all job classes use the previous mentioned traits, having some shared data is going to ease the job:

// CreateUser.php
public function handle()
{
    $user = $this->createUser();
    $this->sharedData['user'] = $user;
}

// CreateApiKey.php
public function handle()
{
    $apiKey = $this->createApiKeyForUser($this->sharedData['user']);
    $this->sharedData['api_key'] = $apiKey;
}

// MakeTestApiCall.php
public function handle()
{
    $this->makeApiCall(
        $this->sharedData['user'],
        $this->sharedData['api_key'],
    );
}
