Workers

In Sidekiq, a Worker is a class that executes jobs based on the arguments passed into its perform method.

class MyWorker
  include Sidekiq::Worker

  def perform(user_id : Int64, email : String)
    # do something
  end
end

You create a job using the async API:

jid = MyWorker.async.perform(123_i64, "[email protected]")

You'll get back a JID, a unique identifier for every job you create.

Configuration

You can configure the properties of a job using the block form of async:

jid = MyWorker.async do |job|
  job.queue = "foo"
  job.retry = false
end.perform(123_i64, "[email protected]")

Sidekiq.cr does not currently support Sidekiq.rb's sidekiq_options API, the dynamic nature of the keys and values are tough to support in Crystal, but help is welcome.
