https://medium.com/modulr/api-rest-with-laravel-5-6-175eea5db3e8

We learning how to send Notifications with management to queues using Redis. In this tutorial we will use the Notifications created previously in the previous tutorials.https://www.vecteezy.com

— Install Redis — Config Enviroment — Install Redis Driver — Run the Queue Worker — Install andConfigure supervisor

Step 1 Install Redis

In first step, we install Redis for this I let you two great tutorials for MacOsx and Linux.

Ubuntu 16.04

MacOsx

Step 2 Config Enviroment

In this step we will config our .env file, add redis into QUEUE_DRIVER variable also change the REDIS_ variables, finally config the e-mail service. I recomend Mailtrap to test.

QUEUE_DRIVER=redisREDIS_HOST=127.0.0.1
REDIS_PASSWORD=null
REDIS_PORT=6379MAIL_DRIVER=smtp
MAIL_HOST=smtp.mailtrap.io
MAIL_PORT=2525
MAIL_USERNAME=user
MAIL_PASSWORD=password
MAIL_ENCRYPTION=null

Step 3 Install Redis Driver

We need install Redis driver in to the project, using bellow command, So open your terminal or command prompt and run bellow command:

composer require predis/predis

Step 4 Run the Queue Worker

To test the queues in your local machine need run the queue worker, so run bellow command:

php artisan queue:work

You see in the terminal when the notification is processed

Step 5 Install and Configure supervisor

This step is used for production mode in your Linux server.

Install supervisor with the next command:

sudo apt-get install supervisor

Enter to folder config.d

cd /etc/supervisor/conf.d

Create config file

sudo nano laravel-worker.conf

Into the file write the next code lines

[program:laravel-worker]process_name=%(program_name)s_%(process_num)02dcommand=php /var/www/project_name/artisan queue:work redis --sleep=3 --tries=3autostart=trueautorestart=trueuser=www-datanumprocs=8redirect_stderr=truestdout_logfile=/var/www/project_name/storage/logs/worker.logstopwaitsecs=3600

Starting Supervisor

Once the configuration file has been created, you may update the Supervisor configuration and start the processes using the following commands:

sudo supervisorctl rereadsudo supervisorctl updatesudo supervisorctl start laravel-worker:*

Now we are ready to run our example so run bellow command to quick run:

php artisan serve

Tests

Now, we can simple test by rest client tools (Postman), So I test it and you can see below screenshots.

In this api you have to set two header as listed below:

Content-Type: application/json
X-Requested-With: XMLHttpRequest
