Laravel Artisan Generator Command: The make:job Command

December 7, 2016 —John Koster

The make:job command is used to create a new job class. A name must be supplied that will be used as the name of the newly generated class and file. An optional --sync flag can be set to indicate that the created job should be synchronous. Generated job classes are stored in the app/Jobs directory.

The following examples demonstrate how to call the make:job command:

1# Create an asynchronous job (default).
2php artisan make:job AsynchronousJob
3 
4# Create a synchronous job.
5php artisan make:job SynchronousJob --sync

Synchronous jobs do not implement the Illuminate\Contracts\Queue\ShouldQueue interface.

This command will not overwrite any existing job classes. Instead an error stating Job already exists! will be displayed.

The make:job command is also capable of generated namespaced classes. Accomplish this by separating namespace sections using the \ when supplying the job name. A nested directory will be created and the correct namespace will be set on the generated class.
