AsyncBlock

AsyncBlock - A usable code block for rails to run your code asynchronously, this will help in preventing writing of new jobs to run smaller pieces of code

Installation

Install the gem and add to the application's Gemfile by executing:

$ bundle add async_block

If bundler is not being used to manage dependencies, install the gem by executing:

$ gem install async_block

Usage

Add your code in wrapped inside AsyncBlock as described below. ** NOTE - AsyncBlock cannot be executed from irb/console

AsyncBlock.run do
  puts('This is running in a temporary job')
  puts('Put your code below')
end

To put some delay on the async execution (say 5 minutes):

AsyncBlock.run(delay: 5.minutes) do
  puts('This is running in a temporary job')
  puts('Put your code below')
end

To explicitly mention a queue for the async execution:

AsyncBlock.run(delay: 1.minute, queue: 'p3') do
  puts('This is running in a temporary job')
  puts('Put your code below')
end

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.
