💖 Beanstalk::Job 💖

okay bestie, so this is Beanstalk::Job — it's the Perl class that represents a job from a beanstalkd server. that's it, that's the whole vibe. it's giving "object that knows its own business." 🎀

part of User Contributed Perl Documentation, obvi. iykyk.

✨ SYNOPSIS ✨

literally nothing here, bestie. no code, no example, nada. the synopsis is empty. we move. 💅

🌸 DESCRIPTION 🌸

also empty!! 🫶 there is no description section content in this page. the methods below are the whole meal. periodt.

👑 METHODS 👑

here's the lineup, and every single one of them matters, no skips:

  • id — returns the job id. that's it. the little name tag. 🏷️
  • client — returns the Beanstalk::Client object for the server the job lives on. like, whose house is this job at.
  • buried — returns true if the job is buried. 💀 (metaphorically. it's a server thing.)
  • reserved — returns true if the job was created via a reserve command and has not been deleted, buried or released. so: still on the hook, no escape yet. 👀
  • data — returns the raw data for the beanstalkd server for the job. the unfiltered, unedited, straight-from-the-source tea. 🍓
  • error — returns the last error. the receipts of what went wrong most recently. 😭
  • stats — returns a Stats object for this job. see Beanstalk::Client for a list of methods available. (yes, going to check that list is the assignment. do your homework bestie.)
  • delete — tell the server to delete this job. bye boo 👋
  • touch — calling touch on a reserved job will reset the time left for the job to complete back to the original ttr value. it's the "extension on the deadline" move. ⏰✨
  • peek — peek this job on the server. look, don't touch. 🙈
  • release — release the job. let it go back out into the world. 🦋
  • bury — tell the server to bury the job. rip to that job fr fr. ⚰️
  • args — decode and return the raw data from the beanstalkd server. the data but make it readable. 🔥
  • tube — return the name of the tube the job is in. yes, a tube. that's the terminology. it's iconic, don't question it. 🧚
  • ttr — returns the job's time to run, in seconds. the countdown clock, basically. ⏳
  • priority — return the job's priority. who gets picked first, lowkey.
