Creating multiple queues

[jonathanstegall]

Is it possible to create separate queues? I have a plugin that pushes data to a third party api, and also pulls data from that same api.

What I had done in WP_Background_Processing is create an array of classes that could be scheduled, each with a callback method that the class could call.

Then I used add_filter( 'cron_schedules', array( $this, 'set_schedule_frequency' ) ); to loop through the classes and load a user configured (in wp_options) setting for how often each one should run.

Can I do this in wp-queue? I notice that the cron class starts off like this: public function __construct( $id, $worker, $interval ) { but I'm not sure how that relates, for example, to wp_queue()->cron();

I notice that the cron class already has its own schedule_cron method, but it does not appear to be extensible.

What is the best way to create (three, for example) cron schedules from a class property, with possibly distinct intervals?

Probably a bit late in responding 😬 ... but at the moment I'd recommend creating distinct subclasses of Queue and Cron for each queue so they have separate IDs etc.

This is probably something we should make easier, and will likely depend on doing #2 first to ensure we have a mechanism for making it easier to set up tables and unique filters before then defining multiple queues either within the same base table/filter naming scheme or with separate base names.
