Getting started with the array queue adapter (testing purposes)

During your development/testing you probably replace the real queue with a development queue, the array adapter is useful for this purposes

First of all you have to include the project in your development requirements

{
  "require": {
    "aws/aws-sdk-php": "~2|~3",
    "corley/queue-sqs": "~1",
    "corley/queue": "~1"
  },
  "require-dev": {
    "corley/queue-array": "~1"
  }
}

The array adapter is very simple:

• send operations fill up an internal array
• receive operations grab messages from an internal array and remove from the list
• delete do nothing (it is just a simple stub)

The adapter works as expected

$adapter = new Corley\Queue\ArrayAdapter\ArrayAdapter();
$queue = new Corley\Queue\Queue("testing_queue", $adapter);

$queue->send("test");

list($receipt, $message) = $queue->receive(); // the message is popped out

// useless the message is already removed but we have to maintain the application flow for real queue adapters
$queue->delete($receipt);

Compose with Dependency Injection (Symfony example)

in your config_dev.yml just append at the bottom

services:
  app.queue_adapter:
    class: Corley\Queue\ArrayAdapter\ArrayAdapter

Checkout production example configuration using services.yml
