job class is not accepting the argument send from controller in laravel - php

Question

Error: Missing argument 1 for App\Jobs\ReorderDatabase::handle() is showing,
I need to pass the variable from controller and i need not to use the model,
so How I should proceed.
My controller function code is here
public function postData(Request $request)
{
$updateRecordsArray = Input::get('order');
$this->dispatch(new ReorderDatabase($updateRecordsArray));
return Response::json('Okay');
}
My job RecorderDatabase job code is
<?php namespace App\Jobs;
use App\Http\Requests\Request;
use App\Jobs\Job;
use Illuminate\Queue\SerializesModels;
use Illuminate\Queue\InteractsWithQueue;
use Illuminate\Contracts\Queue\ShouldQueue;
use Illuminate\Support\Facades\DB;
use Illuminate\Support\Facades\Log;
use App\Http\Controllers\DragDropController;
/**
* Class ReorderDatabase
* #package App\Jobs
*/
class ReorderDatabase extends Job implements ShouldQueue
{
use InteractsWithQueue, SerializesModels;
/**
* Create a new job instance.
*
* #return void
*/
public function __construct()
{
}
/**
* Execute the job.
*
* #return void
*/
public function handle($updateRecordsArray)
{
$i = 1;
foreach ($updateRecordsArray as $recordID) {
DB::table('venues')->where('id', '=', $recordID)->update(array('priority' => $i));
$i++;
}
}
}

As #lagbox mentioned, you need to pass this argument into constructor and not handle method.
Your job class should look like this:
<?php namespace App\Jobs;
use App\Http\Requests\Request;
use App\Jobs\Job;
use Illuminate\Queue\SerializesModels;
use Illuminate\Queue\InteractsWithQueue;
use Illuminate\Contracts\Queue\ShouldQueue;
use Illuminate\Support\Facades\DB;
use Illuminate\Support\Facades\Log;
use App\Http\Controllers\DragDropController;
/**
* Class ReorderDatabase
* #package App\Jobs
*/
class ReorderDatabase extends Job implements ShouldQueue
{
use InteractsWithQueue, SerializesModels;
protected $updateRecordsArray;
/**
* Create a new job instance.
*
* #return void
*/
public function __construct($updateRecordsArray)
{
$this->updateRecordsArray = $updateRecordsArray;
}
/**
* Execute the job.
*
* #return void
*/
public function handle()
{
$i = 1;
foreach ($this->updateRecordsArray as $recordID) {
DB::table('venues')->where('id', '=', $recordID)->update(array('priority' => $i));
$i++;
}
}
}
