NAME

    Minion::Backend::Redis - Redis backend for Minion job queue

SYNOPSIS

      use Minion::Backend::Redis;
      my $backend = Minion::Backend::Redis->new('redis://127.0.0.1:6379/5');
    
      # Minion
      use Minion;
      my $minion = Minion->new(Redis => 'redis://127.0.0.1:6379');
    
      # Mojolicious (via Mojolicious::Plugin::Minion)
      $self->plugin(Minion => { Redis => 'redis://127.0.0.1:6379/2' });
    
      # Mojolicious::Lite (via Mojolicious::Plugin::Minion)
      plugin Minion => { Redis => 'redis://x:s3cret@127.0.0.1:6379' };

DESCRIPTION

    Minion::Backend::Redis is a backend for Minion based on Mojo::Redis.
    Note that Redis Server <https://redis.io/download> version 2.8.0 or
    newer is required to use this backend.

CAUTION

    This is a slightly hackish modification of the original code by Dan
    Book <https://github.com/Grinnz/Minion-Backend-Redis> to use
    Mojo::Redis instead of Mojo::Redis2.

    Due to the original code being written against an older Minion version,
    "history" is currently unimplemented.

 dequeue

      my $job_info = $backend->dequeue($worker_id, 0.5);
