Laravel Task Scheduling Tutorial

In Laravel, you can use Artisan commands to create and manage scheduled tasks. Here are the steps to implement scheduled tasks.

1. Schedule class within the Illuminate\Console\Scheduling namespace

<?php

namespace App\Console;

use Illuminate\Console\Scheduling\Schedule;
use Illuminate\Foundation\Console\Kernel as ConsoleKernel;

class Kernel extends ConsoleKernel
{
    protected function schedule(Schedule $schedule)
    {
        $schedule->command('email:send')->daily();
    }

    protected function commands()
    {
        $this->load(__DIR__.'/Commands');
        require base_path('routes/console.php');
    }
}

1. Register scheduled tasks: Register the scheduled task class in the app/Console/Kernel.php file and define the tasks to be executed and their execution times in the schedule method.
2. Run scheduled tasks: Start Laravel’s task scheduler on the server by running the following command.

php artisan schedule:run

Therefore, the scheduled task will be executed according to the defined time. You can use the cron service to periodically run the above command to ensure that the scheduled task is carried out on time.
