= Backgrounded

The cleanest way to integrate background processing into your application.

Backgrounded provides a thin wrapper around any background processing framework that implements the Backgrounded handler API which makes it trivial to swap out processing frameworks with no impact to your code.

= Features
* clean and concise API which removes any dependency on external "worker" jobs and allows you to execute any model method in the background
* integrates with any background processing framework (DelayedJob, Resque, JobFu, Workling, etc)
* background methods can be actually unit tested by using an 'in process' runner

= Usage

  class User
    def do_stuff
    end
    def self.do_something_else
    end
  end

  user = User.new
  # execute instance method in background
  user.backgrounded.do_stuff

  # execute class method in background
  User.backgrounded.do_something_else

= Installation

Bundler Gemfile configuration
