Queues: Running Jobs in the Background

Some tasks take time, such as sending emails or generating reports. Queues allow these to run in the background.

  ## Create a job
  
  ```bash
  php artisan make:job SendInvoiceEmail
  ```
  
  ## Job handle method
  
  ```php
  public function handle() {
    Mail::to($this->user)->send(new InvoiceMail($this->invoice));
  }
  ```
  
  ## Dispatch job
  
  ```php
  SendInvoiceEmail::dispatch($user, $invoice);
  ```
  
  ## Queue flow
  
  ```mermaid

    A[Request] --> B[Dispatch Job]
    B --> C[(Queue)]
    D[Worker] --> C
    D --> E[Process Job]
  ```
  
  Queues keep your app fast and responsive.
  
  In the next tutorial, we will schedule recurring tasks.
