-Active Job Basics
-=================
-
-This guide provides you with all you need to get started in creating,
-enqueueing and executing background jobs.
-
-After reading this guide, you will know:
-
-* How to create jobs.
-* How to enqueue jobs.
-* How to run jobs in the background.
-* How to send emails from your application async.
-
---------------------------------------------------------------------------------
-
-
-Introduction
-------------
-
-Active Job is a framework for declaring jobs and making them run on a variety
-of queueing backends. These jobs can be everything from regularly scheduled
-clean-ups, to billing charges, to mailings. Anything that can be chopped up
-into small units of work and run in parallel, really.
-
-
-The Purpose of Active Job
------------------------------
-The main point is to ensure that all Rails apps will have a job infrastructure
-in place, even if it's in the form of an "immediate runner". We can then have
-framework features and other gems build on top of that, without having to
-worry about API differences between various job runners such as Delayed Job
-and Resque. Picking your queuing backend becomes more of an operational concern,
-then. And you'll be able to switch between them without having to rewrite your jobs.
-
-
-Creating a Job
---------------
-
-This section will provide a step-by-step guide to creating a job and enqueuing it.
-
-### Create the Job
-
-Active Job provides a Rails generator to create jobs. The following will create a
-job in `app/jobs` (with an attached test case under `test/jobs`):
-
-```bash
-$ bin/rails generate job guests_cleanup
-invoke  test_unit
-create    test/jobs/guests_cleanup_job_test.rb
-create  app/jobs/guests_cleanup_job.rb
-```
-
-You can also create a job that will run on a specific queue:
-
-```bash
-$ bin/rails generate job guests_cleanup --queue urgent
-```
-
-If you don't want to use a generator, you could create your own file inside of
-`app/jobs`, just make sure that it inherits from `ActiveJob::Base`.
-
-Here's what a job looks like:
-
-```ruby
-class GuestsCleanupJob < ActiveJob::Base
-  queue_as :default
-
-  def perform(*guests)
-    # Do something later
-  end
-end
-```
-
-Note that you can define `perform` with as many arguments as you want.
-
-### Enqueue the Job
-
-Enqueue a job like so:
-
-```ruby
-# Enqueue a job to be performed as soon the queuing system is
-# free.
-GuestsCleanupJob.perform_later guest
-```
-
-```ruby
-# Enqueue a job to be performed tomorrow at noon.
-GuestsCleanupJob.set(wait_until: Date.tomorrow.noon).perform_later(guest)
-```
-
-```ruby
-# Enqueue a job to be performed 1 week from now.
-GuestsCleanupJob.set(wait: 1.week).perform_later(guest)
-```
-
-```ruby
-# `perform_now` and `perform_later` will call `perform` under the hood so
-# you can pass as many arguments as defined in the latter.
-GuestsCleanupJob.perform_later(guest1, guest2, filter: 'some_filter')
-```
-
-That's it!
-
-Job Execution
--------------
-
-If no adapter is set, the job is immediately executed.
-
-### Backends
-
-Active Job has built-in adapters for multiple queueing backends (Sidekiq,
-Resque, Delayed Job and others). To get an up-to-date list of the adapters
-see the API Documentation for [ActiveJob::QueueAdapters](http://api.rubyonrails.org/classes/ActiveJob/QueueAdapters.html).
-
-### Setting the Backend
-
-You can easily set your queueing backend:
-
-```ruby
-# config/application.rb
-module YourApp
-  class Application < Rails::Application
-    # Be sure to have the adapter's gem in your Gemfile and follow
-    # the adapter's specific installation and deployment instructions.
-    config.active_job.queue_adapter = :sidekiq
-  end
-end
-```
-
-
-Queues
-------
-
-Most of the adapters support multiple queues. With Active Job you can schedule
-the job to run on a specific queue:
-
-```ruby
-class GuestsCleanupJob < ActiveJob::Base
-  queue_as :low_priority
-  #....
-end
-```
-
-You can prefix the queue name for all your jobs using
-`config.active_job.queue_name_prefix` in `application.rb`:
-
-```ruby
-# config/application.rb
-module YourApp
-  class Application < Rails::Application
-    config.active_job.queue_name_prefix = Rails.env
-  end
-end
-
-# app/jobs/guests_cleanup.rb
-class GuestsCleanupJob < ActiveJob::Base
-  queue_as :low_priority
-  #....
-end
-
-# Now your job will run on queue production_low_priority on your
-# production environment and on staging_low_priority on your staging
-# environment
-```
-
-The default queue name prefix delimiter is '\_'.  This can be changed by setting
-`config.active_job.queue_name_delimiter` in `application.rb`:
-
-```ruby
-# config/application.rb
-module YourApp
-  class Application < Rails::Application
-    config.active_job.queue_name_prefix = Rails.env
-    config.active_job.queue_name_delimiter = '.'
-  end
-end
-
-# app/jobs/guests_cleanup.rb
-class GuestsCleanupJob < ActiveJob::Base
-  queue_as :low_priority
-  #....
-end
-
-# Now your job will run on queue production.low_priority on your
-# production environment and on staging.low_priority on your staging
-# environment
-```
-
-If you want more control on what queue a job will be run you can pass a `:queue`
-option to `#set`:
-
-```ruby
-MyJob.set(queue: :another_queue).perform_later(record)
-```
-
-To control the queue from the job level you can pass a block to `#queue_as`. The
-block will be executed in the job context (so you can access `self.arguments`)
-and you must return the queue name:
-
-```ruby
-class ProcessVideoJob < ActiveJob::Base
-  queue_as do
-    video = self.arguments.first
-    if video.owner.premium?
-      :premium_videojobs
-    else
-      :videojobs
-    end
-  end
-
-  def perform(video)
-    # do process video
-  end
-end
-
-ProcessVideoJob.perform_later(Video.last)
-```
-
-NOTE: Make sure your queueing backend "listens" on your queue name. For some
-backends you need to specify the queues to listen to.
-
-
-Callbacks
----------
-
-Active Job provides hooks during the lifecycle of a job. Callbacks allow you to
-trigger logic during the lifecycle of a job.
-
-### Available callbacks
-
-* `before_enqueue`
-* `around_enqueue`
-* `after_enqueue`
-* `before_perform`
-* `around_perform`
-* `after_perform`
-
-### Usage
-
-```ruby
-class GuestsCleanupJob < ActiveJob::Base
-  queue_as :default
-
-  before_enqueue do |job|
-    # do something with the job instance
-  end
-
-  around_perform do |job, block|
-    # do something before perform
-    block.call
-    # do something after perform
-  end
-
-  def perform
-    # Do something later
-  end
-end
-```
-
-
-Action Mailer
-------------
-
-One of the most common jobs in a modern web application is sending emails outside
-of the request-response cycle, so the user doesn't have to wait on it. Active Job
-is integrated with Action Mailer so you can easily send emails asynchronously:
-
-```ruby
-# If you want to send the email now use #deliver_now
-UserMailer.welcome(@user).deliver_now
-
-# If you want to send the email through Active Job use #deliver_later
-UserMailer.welcome(@user).deliver_later
-```
-
-
-Internationalization
---------------------
-
-Each job uses the `I18n.locale` set when the job was created. Useful if you send
-emails asynchronously:
-
-```ruby
-I18n.locale = :eo
-
-UserMailer.welcome(@user).deliver_later # Email will be localized to Esparanto.
-```
-
-
-GlobalID
---------
-
-Active Job supports GlobalID for parameters. This makes it possible to pass live
-Active Record objects to your job instead of class/id pairs, which you then have
-to manually deserialize. Before, jobs would look like this:
-
-```ruby
-class TrashableCleanupJob < ActiveJob::Base
-  def perform(trashable_class, trashable_id, depth)
-    trashable = trashable_class.constantize.find(trashable_id)
-    trashable.cleanup(depth)
-  end
-end
-```
-
-Now you can simply do:
-
-```ruby
-class TrashableCleanupJob < ActiveJob::Base
-  def perform(trashable, depth)
-    trashable.cleanup(depth)
-  end
-end
-```
-
-This works with any class that mixes in `GlobalID::Identification`, which
-by default has been mixed into Active Model classes.
-
-
-Exceptions
-----------
-
-Active Job provides a way to catch exceptions raised during the execution of the
-job:
-
-```ruby
-
-class GuestsCleanupJob < ActiveJob::Base
-  queue_as :default
-
-  rescue_from(ActiveRecord::RecordNotFound) do |exception|
-   # do something with the exception
-  end
-
-  def perform
-    # Do something later
-  end
-end
-```
