NAME

Queue::Q::ClaimFIFO::Item - An item in a 'ClaimFIFO' queue

SYNOPSIS

use Queue::Q::ClaimFIFO::Redis; # or ::Perl or ...
my $q = ... create object of chosen ClaimFIFO implementation...

# consumer:
my $item = $q->claim_item; # this is a Queue::Q::ClaimFIFO::Item!
my $data = $item->item_data;
# work with data...
$q->mark_item_as_done($item);

DESCRIPTION

Instances of this class represent a single item in a ClaimFIFO type queue (or DistFIFO if that is based on ClaimFIFO shards).

Typically, you do not have to create Queue::Q::ClaimFIFO::Item objects manually. They are implicitly created by the queue when you enqueue a new data structure.

METHODS

new

Takes named parameters. Requires an item_data parameter that is the item's content.

If the queue backend implementation requires serialization (which is bound to be the general case), the data must be a data structure that can be serialized in the Sereal format using Sereal::Encoder.

item_data

Returns the item's content.
