Sidekiq Custom Queue

A Sidekiq plugin for allowing workers to define custom/dynamic queues based on the queued message.

Installation

Add this line to your application's Gemfile:

gem 'sidekiq-custom-queue'

And then execute:

$ bundle

Or install it yourself as:

$ gem install sidekiq-custom-queue

Usage

Define a custom_queue class method in your worker class that can accept a single argument. This argument will contains the job message as described in https://github.com/mperham/sidekiq/wiki/Job-Format. Define how to use the whole message or parts of to create the name for your custom queue:

class WorkerWithCustomQueue
  include Sidekiq::Worker

  def self.custom_queue(msg)
    "#{msg['args'][0]}_queue"
  end

  def perform(type, arg1)
    # Your code here
  end
end

When you enqueue a job for this worker using .perform_async or .perform_in, it will generate the queue name from the .custom_queue method and put that job in this queue:

WorkerWithCustomQueue.perform_async('xyz', 1) # gets enqueued in the 'xyz_queue' instead of the default queue

Development

After checking out the repo, run bin/setup to install dependencies. Then, run rake spec to run the tests. You can also run bin/console for an interactive prompt that will allow you to experiment.

To install this gem onto your local machine, run bundle exec rake install. To release a new version, update the version number in version.rb, and then run bundle exec rake release, which will create a git tag for the version, push git commits and tags, and push the .gem file to rubygems.org.
