Is there a recommended way to implement a job queue in flarum?

I've tried to reuse laravel queue, but it have take me one day, and still can't work well.
Is there a recommended extension to implement a async job queue？

lubobill1990 I'm going to write an extension soon that will add that. I'm sure to run into the same issues as you did. In the meantime what I did with Bazaar is use a non-overlapping scheduled command to process items from a table using flagrow/console (which adds scheduling).. If you're well versed with Laravel that should work as a temporary solution 😉

luceos Currently, I'm using flarum as the backend of an instant communication app, I've implemented a websocket server like Pusher.com and all works well. But I hope the event listener which is responsible for calling the realtime server through http can queue the http call so that the http call won't block the event listener. In this instance communication scenario, scheduling is not suitable.

I'm still trying to implement the queue with laravel queue, hope I can manage it.

luceos I have finish the queue extension. It's convenient to implement this feature with the help of laravel queue.

lubobill1990 I'd love to see/review your code and it would be even more awesome to see the extension published.. Feel free to hit me up on discord.

luceos Yes, I'd like to publish a series of extensions after my project is done.
