I am making a auction web app. When a ad is created, I automatically add expiration date into database.
before_create :set_expiration_date
def set_expiration_date
self.expiration_date = Time.now + 60.days
end
How can I add a background task/job, so when a ad has reached its expiration date, it can change the status to false
.
Is it any good gem that I could use in my case?
I have tried whenever gem and it was very cumbersome and it didn't ran in background and hard to understand.
Just create background job changing the status in after create callback which would be performed at exp. date
