Fork

A Laravel PHP library for processing code in the background.

This package uses a new ability in Laravel to serialize closures, which can then be executed in the command line in the background asynchronously.

Install

Normal install via Composer.

Commands

Register the commands in your app/start/artisan.php file:

Artisan::add(new Travis\Fork\Commands\ForkCommand);

Usage

Just fork the code you want to run in the background:

Fork::run(function() use($foobar)
{
    // do stuff
});

If you want to test for errors, you can run your code synchronously:

Fork::test(function() use($foobar)
{
    // do stuff
});
