Make Laravel use database Queue instead of sync - queue

Question

I need help with Laravel Queues if someone can help me further, i have done these steps till now
changed the QUEUE DRIVER in .env file to database
created migrations for queue table jobs and failed-jobs
php artisan queue:table
php artisan queue:failed-table
and i have run php artisan migrate
created a new Job
php artisan make:job SendNewArticleNotification
Update:
Ok i have created a route /queue
Route::get('/queue', function () {
dispatch(new \App\Jobs\SendNewArticleNotification);
});
and in my Job SendNewArticleNotification i have this
<?php
namespace App\Jobs;
use App\User;
use Illuminate\Bus\Queueable;
use Illuminate\Queue\SerializesModels;
use Illuminate\Queue\InteractsWithQueue;
use Illuminate\Contracts\Queue\ShouldQueue;
class SendNewArticleNotification implements ShouldQueue
{
use InteractsWithQueue, Queueable, SerializesModels;
/**
* Create a new job instance.
*
* #return void
*/
public function __construct()
{
//
}
/**
* Execute the job.
*
* #return void
*/
public function handle()
{
$users = User::all();
$article = \App\Article::first();
foreach ($users as $user) {
$user->notify(new \App\Notifications\Published($article));
}
}
}
And when i hit my /queue route the emails are beeing sent but they are not using the database table....it takes more than 30 seconds to send 50 mails...
UPDATE
Ok i finally figured it out that dispatch() needs to be inside of a controller method because the controller has the trait dispatches jobs....and now my jobs are in queue in DB table jobs....so how do i trigger them behind the scenes?

Answer 1

Put your dispatch in your controller method and then run
php artisan queue:work
