drupal-batch-queue-cron

What problem does it solve?

This Skill streamlines the handling of large datasets and periodic tasks by leveraging Drupal's Batch API, Queue Workers, and cron hooks, preventing timeouts and ensuring efficient background processing.

Core Features & Use Cases

• Batch Processing: Handle multi-request operations for large user-initiated tasks.
• Queue Workers: Process items asynchronously during cron runs with time-based execution.
• Cron Hooks: Execute bounded, periodic tasks efficiently.
• Use Case: Automatically process thousands of user-uploaded images in batches, or run a nightly cleanup of old log entries via cron.

Quick Start

Use the drupal-batch-queue-cron skill to create a QueueWorker that processes items from a queue named 'my_data_processor' and runs for up to 15 seconds during cron.
