Merb Resque Mailer

Plugin for Merb which allows putting mail deliveries onto Resque queue.

Usage

Include Resque::Mailer module in your Merb::MailController subclass(es) like this:

class UserMailer < Merb::MailController
  include Resque::Mailer
  ...
end

or directly in Merb::MailController class if you want to enable it for all mailers:

class Merb::MailController
  include Resque::Mailer
  ...
end

Jobs are added to "mailer" queue so you should start at least one worker listening on "mailer" queue:

QUEUE=mailer rake merb_env resque:work

Be sure you have 'resque/tasks' required in your Rakefile (or somewhere in lib/tasks/), it's required for above task to work.

From now on all emails will be sent asynchronously using Resque worker(s).

Installation

Gem is hosted on gemcutter.org, simply install it by:

gem install merb-resque-mailer

and require it in your app:

require "merb-resque-mailer"

If using bundler add it to Gemfile:

gem "merb-resque-mailer"

Configuration

You can configure for which environments you don't want to use Merb Resque Mailer by setting Resque::Mailer.excluded_environments option (by default :test env is excluded). If you want to exclude also :development env put following code somewhere in config/init.rb: Resque::Mailer.excluded_environments = [:test, :development]

or

Resque::Mailer.excluded_environments << :development

If you want to put deliveries to other queue than default "mailer" you can set it like this:

Resque::Mailer.queue_name = "notifications"

Credits

This piece of code was inspired by work of Nick Plante who created resque_mailer for Rails' ActionMailer. Rewritten to work with Merb Mailer by Marcin Kulik.
