I'm using Laravel Jobs to pull data from the Stripe API in a paginated way. Basically, each job gets a "brand id" (a user can have multiple brands per account) and a "start after" parameter. It uses that to know which stripe token to use and where to start in the paginated calls (this job call itself if more stripe responses are available in the pagination). This runs fine when the job is started once.
But there is a use case where a user could add stripe keys to multiple brands in a short time and that job class could get called multiple times concurrently with different parameters. When this happens, whichever process is started last overwrites the others because the parameters are being overwritten to just the last called. So if I start stripe job with brand_id = 1, then job with brand_id = 2, then brand_id = 3, 3 overwrites the other two after one cycle and only 3 gets passed for all future calls.
How do I keep this from happening?
I've tried static vars, I've tried protected, private and public vars. I thought might be able to solve it with dynamically created queues for each brand, but this seems like a huge headache.
public function __construct($brand_id, $start_after = null)
{
$this->brand_id = $brand_id;
$this->start_after = $start_after;
}
public function handle()
{
// Do stripe calls with $brand_id & $start_after
if ($response->has_more) {
// Call next job with new "start_at".
dispatch(new ThisJob($this->brand_id, $new_start_after));
}
}
ThisJob
