A rails engine that provides a simple web interface for exposing the Delayed::Job queue.

• Ruby 1.9.3, 2.0.0, 2.1.0 or 2.2.0
• Rails 3.2.x, 4.0.x, 4.1.x or 4.2.x
• Delayed::Job 3.0.x, 4.0.x (ActiveRecord backend)

Put this in your Gemfile.

gem 'delayed-web', github: 'thebestday/delayed-web'

Run bundler.

bundle install

Run the installation generator.

rails generate delayed:web:install

This will install an initializer into config/initializers/delayed_web.rb, mount the engine at /jobs in config/routes.rb and add the stylesheets to the list of precomiled assets in application.rb (If assets are enabled).

The installation script will automatically add routes into your app, like this.

# config/routes.rb
Rails.application.routes.draw do
  mount Delayed::Web::Engine, at: '/jobs'
end

This will mount the following routes.

GET /
GET /jobs
GET /jobs/:id

Out of the box Delayed::Web doesn't make any assumptions about authentication. It's possible to take advantage of rails routing constraints or rack middleware.

An example using Devise's authenticated constraint.

# config/routes.rb
authenticated :user, -> user { user.admin? } do
  mount Delayed::Web::Engine, at: '/jobs'
end

An example using Rack::Auth::Basic.

# config/routes.rb
Delayed::Web::Engine.middleware.use Rack::Auth::Basic do |username, password|
  username == ENV['USERNAME'] && password == ENV['PASSWORD']
end

The installation script will automatically set the backend you're using for Delayed::Job, like this.

# config/initializers/delayed_web.rb
Rails.application.config.to_prepare do
  Delayed::Web::Job.backend = 'active_record'
end

Currently, ActiveRecord is the only supported backend. We would welcome a pull request for Monogoid. See Delayed::Web::Job to get started.

The installation script will automatically add the engine's assets to your application's list of precompiled assets.

# config/application.rb
config.assets.enabled = true
config.assets.precompile << 'delayed/web/application.css'

This step is skipped if your project is configured not to use the asset pipeline.

After you've cloned the repository, run bundler.

bundle install

Make sure the specs are passing.

rake

Run the dummy rails app.

cd spec/dummy
rails s

Go to http://localhost:3000.

The dummy rails app uses Delayed::Web::Job::Double as its backend. It is an in-memory double of a real Delayed::Job.
