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->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 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.

data

Returns the item's content.

item_data

Alias for data. DEPRECATED.
