AngryBatch

AngryBatch is a lightweight batching utility for ActiveJob that lets you group multiple jobs into a batch and trigger follow-up jobs when all jobs in the batch are done.

Installation

Add this line to your application's Gemfile:

gem 'angry_batch'

And then execute:

bundle

Or install it yourself as:

gem install angry_batch

Then, from your Rails app directory, create the angry tables:

rails generate angry_batch:install
rails db:migrate

Usage

# Step 1: Allow the job to be batchable
class SomeJob
  include AngryBatch::Batchable
end

# Step 2: Create new batch queue
queue = AngryBatch.new(label: 'Debug label')

# Step 3: Add completion handler
#   `on_complete` job will be called when all other queue jobs have completed
#   (more than one handlers are supported)
queue.on_complete ToBeCalledWhenAllOtherJobsAreCompletedJob, argument

# Step 3.1: Add error handler
queue.on_failure HandleFailureJob, argument

# Step 4: Enqueue varios jobs
queue.enqueue SomeJob, argument1
queue.enqueue SomeJob, argument2
queue.enqueue SomeJob, argument3

# Step 5: Trigger all jobs in the queue
in the queue.perform_later

Example

Example 1

# You have a building with tenants.
# Every month, you must generate rent payments for them and notify them accordingly.

def generate_rent(building, period)
  queue = AngryBatch.new
  queue.on_complete GenerateBudgetSnapshotJob, building
  queue.on_complete NotifyBuildingOwnerJob, building

  building.tenants.each do |tenant|
    queue.enqueue GenerateTenantRentJob, tenant, period
  end

  queue.perform_later
end

Example 2

# You have an account with many projects.
# For each project, you want to export its data individually.
# After all exports are done, you want to archive them into a zip file.

def export_account_information(account)
  queue = AngryBatch.new(label: "Export Projects for #{account.id}")
  queue.on_complete Export::ZipJob, account

  account.projects.find_each do |project|
    queue.enqueue Export::ProjectFilesJob, project
  end

  queue.perform_later
end
