Using class methods as celery tasks

Using class methods as celery tasks

To use class methods as Celery tasks in a Python application, you can use the @app.task decorator provided by Celery to create tasks from class methods. Here's a step-by-step guide on how to do this:

  1. Install Celery:

    If you haven't already, install Celery in your Python environment using pip:

    pip install celery

  2. Create a Celery Instance:

    Create a Python script or module where you configure and initialize your Celery instance. Here's an example:

    from celery import Celery app = Celery('myapp', broker='redis://localhost:6379/0', backend='redis://localhost:6379/0') # Configure other Celery settings as needed # app.conf.xxx = ... if __name__ == '__main__': app.start()

    In this example, we configure Celery to use Redis as the message broker and backend. Adjust the broker and backend URLs according to your setup.

  3. Define a Class with Celery Tasks:

    Create a Python class that contains the class methods you want to use as Celery tasks. Decorate these methods with @app.task to make them Celery tasks. For example:

    from myceleryapp import app class MyTasks: @staticmethod @app.task def add(x, y): return x + y @staticmethod @app.task def subtract(x, y): return x - y

    In this example, we've created a class called MyTasks with two class methods, add and subtract, and decorated them with @app.task.

  4. Running Celery Worker:

    Start a Celery worker to process the tasks. Open a terminal and run the following command in the directory where your Celery configuration script is located:

    celery -A myceleryapp worker --loglevel=info

    Replace myceleryapp with the name of your Celery configuration module.

  5. Using Class Methods as Tasks:

    You can now use the class methods defined in MyTasks as Celery tasks from your application code. Import MyTasks and call the class methods as tasks like this:

    from myceleryapp.mytasks import MyTasks # Use the add method as a Celery task result = MyTasks.add.delay(10, 5) print(result.get()) # Use the subtract method as a Celery task result = MyTasks.subtract.delay(20, 7) print(result.get())

    In this code, we import MyTasks and call the add and subtract class methods as Celery tasks using the delay method.

That's it! You've successfully defined and used class methods as Celery tasks in your Python application. This approach is useful for organizing tasks into logical groups and reusing them across your application.

Examples

  5. How to use class methods as Celery periodic tasks?

    • Description: This snippet shows how to set up a class method as a periodic task with Celery, using the Celery beat scheduler.
    • from celery import Celery app = Celery('myapp', broker='pyamqp://guest@localhost//') class MyClass: @app.task def class_periodic_task(self): return "This is a periodic task" # Configure periodic tasks in Celery app.conf.beat_schedule = { 'periodic-task': { 'task': 'myapp.MyClass.class_periodic_task', 'schedule': 10.0, # Runs every 10 seconds } }

  6. How to access class instance attributes in Celery tasks?

    • Description: This snippet shows how to access and modify class instance attributes from within Celery tasks.
    • from celery import Celery app = Celery('myapp', broker='pyamqp://guest@localhost//') class MyClass: def __init__(self): self.count = 0 @app.task def increment(self): self.count += 1 return self.count # Example usage my_instance = MyClass() result = my_instance.increment.delay() print(result.get()) # Output: 1

  7. How to use static methods as Celery tasks?
