Answer 1

There are basically two ways via which you can solve your problem:
Create a Laravel Artisan command(you can use other methods also that Laravel provides, but I found Artisan to be fun and more flexible, helps avoid the rework) and schedule it accordingly.
Create a Queued Job and dispatch it for some later time, but it has some limitation like, the Amazon SQS queue service has a maximum delay time of 15 minutes.
Now, what is to be done:
In my opinion, you should use Solution 1 as it is more flexible and gives you more control.
Queues are used for 2 things. First, ideally, the task you want to perform should be done in the next 30-45 minutes. Second, the task is time intensive and you don't want to block the thread because of that.
Now the FUN part.
Note: You need not worry, Laravel will perform the majority of the steps for you. I am mentioning each and every step for the sake of not skipping the knowledge.
Step 1: Run the following command to create an Artisan Console Command(Remember to be in your project's root path.):
php artisan make:command PublishSomething
The command will now be available for further development at app/Console/Commands.
Step 2: You will see a handle method inside the Class like following, this is where all of your logic will exist.
<?php
namespace App\Console\Commands;
use Illuminate\Console\Command;
class PublishSomething extends Command
{
/**
* The name and signature of the console command.
*
* #var string
*/
protected $signature = 'something:publish';
/**
* The console command description.
*
* #var string
*/
protected $description = 'Publishes something amazing!';
/**
* Create a new command instance.
*
* #return void
*/
public function __construct()
{
parent::__construct();
}
/**
* Execute the console command.
*
* #return mixed
*/
public function handle()
{
//
}
}
Step 3: Let's add some logic inside our handle method
/**
* Execute the console command.
*
* #return mixed
*/
public function handle()
{
$this->info('Publishing something cool!');
// you can add your own custom logic here.
}
Step 4: After you have added your logic, now we need to test it, you can do so like:
php artisan something:publish
Step 5: Our function is running all fine. Now we will schedule the command. Inside app/Console you will find a file Console.php, this class is responsible for all task scheduling registration, in our case.
<?php
namespace App\Console;
use Illuminate\Console\Scheduling\Schedule;
use Illuminate\Foundation\Console\Kernel as ConsoleKernel;
class Kernel extends ConsoleKernel
{
/**
* The Artisan commands provided by your application.
*
* #var array
*/
protected $commands = [
//
];
/**
* Define the application's command schedule.
*
* #param \Illuminate\Console\Scheduling\Schedule $schedule
* #return void
*/
protected function schedule(Schedule $schedule)
{
// $schedule->command('inspire')->hourly();
}
/**
* Register the commands for the application.
*
* #return void
*/
protected function commands()
{
$this->load(__DIR__.'/Commands');
require base_path('routes/console.php');
}
}
Notice the schedule function here, this is where we will add the schedule logic.
Step 6: Now we will schedule our command to run every 5 minutes. You can change the time period very easily, Laravel provides some pre-made frequency options, and you have your own custom schedule also.
/**
* Define the application's command schedule.
*
* #param \Illuminate\Console\Scheduling\Schedule $schedule
* #return void
*/
protected function schedule(Schedule $schedule)
{
$schedule->command('something:publish')->everyFiveMinutes(); // our schedule
}
Step 7: Now, Laravel's task scheduler itself is dependent on Cron. So to start the schedule, we will add the following file to our crontab.
* * * * * cd /path-to-your-project && php artisan schedule:run >> /dev/null 2>&1
That's it! We are done. You have created your own custom command and scheduled it for every 5 minutes.
