module Resque
  module Plugins
    # If you want only one instance of your job queued at a time,
    # extend it with this module.
    #
    # For example:
    #
    # require 'resque/plugins/lock'
    #
    # class UpdateNetworkGraph
    #   extend Resque::Plugins::Lock
    #
    #   def self.perform(repo_id)
    #     heavy_lifting
    #   end
    # end
    #
    # No other UpdateNetworkGraph jobs will be placed on the queue,
    # the QueueLock class will check Redis to see if any others are
    # queued with the same arguments before queueing. If another
    # is queued the enqueue will be aborted.
    #
    # If you want to define the key yourself you can override the
    # `lock` class method in your subclass, e.g.
    #
    # class UpdateNetworkGraph
    #   extend Resque::Plugins::Lock
    #
    #   # Run only one at a time, regardless of repo_id.
    #   def self.lock(repo_id)
    #     "network-graph"
    #   end
    #
    #   def self.perform(repo_id)
    #     heavy_lifting
    #   end
    # end
    #
    # The above modification will ensure only one job of class
    # UpdateNetworkGraph is running at a time, regardless of the
    # repo_id. Normally a job is locked using a combination of its
    # class name and arguments.
    module Lock
      # Override in your job to control the lock key. It is
      # passed the same arguments as `perform`, that is, your job's
      # payload.
      def lock(*args)
        "#{name}-#{args.to_s}"
