laravel-horizon-demo | Laravel Horizon , a Redis queue monitor

Run php composer install.
Clone this project.
Run php composer install.
Sign up for a free Mailtrap account and copy API credentials. We'll use Mailtrap to spoof outgoing emails using their demo inbox:
Enter values for these directives on your .env file:
APP_KEY → Run php artisan key:generate to easily generate a base64-encoded key.
MAIL_* → Enter Mailtrap credentials.
REDIS_* → A standard Redis installation usually does not require you to change values.
Run php artisan config:cache to use the values set above.
Create a blank database.sqlite under your ./database directory.
Run php artisan migrate --seed to create a user table and seed it with dummy user information (e.g. name, email).
Run composer dump-autoload to clear the PHP class cache.
Open a new shell prompt and run php artisan serve to serve the web application on the foreground using PHP's built in web server. Note: On macOS, it's easier to use Laravel Valet.
Open a new shell prompt and run php artisan horizon on the foreground and view the Horizon dashboard at http://[app-host]/horizon.
By visiting http://[app-host]/queues/fetch-star-wars-entity?repeat=1&user_id=1, you can now test Horizon by creating a job that fetches a random Star Wars entity from the unofficial Star Wars public API and subsequently sends a notification email. Two async jobs are actually dispatched when you hit the URL above: (a) one that fetches from the Star Wars API and (b) another one that sends a notification email. Note: You can increase the number of requests sent (and conversely, resulting email notifications) by increasing the repeat query parameter to a higher number -- say, for example, 100. Just be aware that if using a service other than Mailtrap's demo inbox, you might get flagged for sending spam.
