After entering Connector Site URL, Site User Name and Site Password, save the configuration. In Drupal 8, the menu system has been replaced by the routing system.Ĭreate the Configuration form to store API link and their credentials. See the screenshot below for an example of the folder structure that will contain required files and their respective location: This process will run automatically based on cron. Here we will create a Queue Worker that will fetch data from centralized repo using API and create an article on our existing site. The very basic concept of Queue API is FIFO (First-In-First-Out).Ĭheck out an example of the above-mentioned scenario. Most importantly, you can run multiple queues without interrupting other work. The API also allows you to revert the item back to queue if any failure occurs. In comparison to cron, Queue is more efficient and can handle resource-intensive tasks. You can also individually queue the tasks at one time compared to Cron that run at the periodic interval of time. Queue Worker allows you to run queue with time limits. For an introduction to cron, you can check out our previous blog on “ scheduling Automated Tasks in Drupal with Cron”. Cron is a background process that runs at periodic intervals of time. And we can run Queue by manually using Drush commands or Cron. The items can be added to the queue by passing an arbitrary data object. Queue API enables us to handle a number of tasks at a later stage that means we can insert a number of items in the queue and process them later. After a little research and discussion, we (our team) decided to implement queue worker. In order to overcome this scenario, we started using cron, but faced a situation where we were missing few contents because of time out.

After completing this blog cum tutorial you will find yourself at a moderate level of expertise in implementing Queue API.Ī couple of months back, we had a situation in one of our project where we had to pull data from a centralized server and update that content to the site almost every day.

And in this blog, I am going to discuss Queue Worker/API and how to implement it in Drupal 8. It's never too late to share something useful with mates.
