azure-queue-laravel

PHP Laravel 5 Queue Driver package to support Microsoft Azure Storage Queues

Prerequisites

• PHP 5.6+, PHP 7+ for Laravel 5.5+, PHP 7.1+ for Laravel 5.6 and 5.7
• Laravel 5.2 - 5.7 (not tested on previous versions)
• Microsoft Azure Storage account and API key
• Queue container created through Azure Portal or via Azure CLI / PowerShell

Installation

Install using composer

You can find this library on Packagist.

Require this package in your composer.json. The version numbers will follow Laravel.

Laravel 5.2.x

"squigg/azure-queue-laravel": "5.2.*"
composer require squigg/azure-queue-laravel:5.2.* 

Laravel 5.3.x

"squigg/azure-queue-laravel": "5.3.*"
composer require squigg/azure-queue-laravel:5.3.*

Laravel 5.4.x

"squigg/azure-queue-laravel": "5.4.*"
composer require squigg/azure-queue-laravel:5.4.*

Laravel 5.5.x

"squigg/azure-queue-laravel": "5.5.*"
composer require squigg/azure-queue-laravel:5.5.*

Laravel 5.6.x

"squigg/azure-queue-laravel": "5.6.*"
composer require squigg/azure-queue-laravel:5.6.*

Laravel 5.7.x

"squigg/azure-queue-laravel": "5.7.*"
composer require squigg/azure-queue-laravel:5.7.*

For versions 5.3 and older only

Add the following pear repository in your composer.json file required for the Microsoft Azure SDK (v5.4+ uses the microsoft/azure-storage package instead, and v5.6+ uses microsoft/azure-storage-queue):

"repositories": [
    {
        "type": "pear",
        "url": "http://pear.php.net"
    }
],

Update Composer dependencies

composer update

Configuration

Add Provider

If you are not using Laravel auto package discovery, add the ServiceProvider to your providers array in config/app.php:

'Squigg\AzureQueueLaravel\AzureQueueServiceProvider',

For Lumen (5.x) you will need to add the provider to bootstrap/app.php:

    $app->register(Squigg\AzureQueueLaravel\AzureQueueServiceProvider::class);

Add Azure queue configuration

Add the following to the connections array in config/queue.php, and fill out your own connection data from the Azure Management portal:

'azure' => [
    'driver'        => 'azure',                             // Leave this as-is
    'protocol'      => 'https',                             // https or http
    'accountname'   => env('AZURE_QUEUE_STORAGE_NAME'),     // Azure storage account name
    'key'           => env('AZURE_QUEUE_KEY'),              // Access key for storage account
    'queue'         => env('AZURE_QUEUE_NAME'),             // Queue container name
    'timeout'       => 60                                   // Seconds before a job is released back to the queue
    'endpoint'      => env('AZURE_QUEUE_ENDPOINTSUFFIX'),   // Optional endpoint suffix if different from core.windows.net
],

Add environment variables into your .env file to set the above configuration parameters if you prefer:

AZURE_QUEUE_STORAGE_NAME=xxx
AZURE_QUEUE_KEY=xxx
AZURE_QUEUE_NAME=xxx
AZURE_QUEUE_ENDPOINTSUFFIX=xxx

Set the default Laravel queue

Update the default queue used by Laravel by setting the QUEUE_DRIVER value in your .env file to azure.

QUEUE_DRIVER=azure

Usage

Use the normal Laravel Queue functionality as per the documentation.

Remember to update the default queue by setting the QUEUE_DRIVER value in your .env file to azure.
