Laravel Async Queue Driver

Push a function/closure to the background.

Just like the 'sync' driver, this is not a real queue driver. It is always fired immediatly. The only difference is that the closure is sent to the background without waiting for the response.

Note: Alpha release, only tested on Linux, should also work on Windows

Install

Add the package to the require section of your composer.json and run composer update

"barryvdh/laravel-async-queue": "dev-master"

Add the Service Provider to the providers array in config/app.php

'Barryvdh\Queue\AsyncServiceProvider',

You should now be able to use the async driver in config/queue.php

'default' => 'async',

'connections' => array(
    ...
    'async' => array(
        'driver' => 'async',
    ),
    ...
}

It should work the same as the sync driver, so no need to run a queue listener. Downside is that you cannot actually queue or plan things. Queue::later() is also fired directly. For more info see http://laravel.com/docs/queues
