How do I schedule recurring jobs in Active Job (Rails 4.2)?

Question

I found this Schedule one-time jobs in Rails but this only shows how schedule one-time. I am interested in scheduling a recurring job.

Delayed_job has this

self.delay(:run_at => 1.minute.from_now)

How do I do something like that in Rails 4.2/Active Job?

Answer 1

Similar to rab3's answer, since ActiveJob has support for callbacks, I was thinking of doing something like

class MyJob < ActiveJob::Base
  after_perform do |job|
    # invoke another job at your time of choice 
    self.class.set(:wait => 10.minutes).perform_later(job.arguments.first)
  end

  def perform(the_argument)
    # do your thing
  end
end

activejob callbacks
