How to ensure laravel job queue is executed after a previous one

Question

Having

$this->dispatch(new SaveVideo($video, $api));

And then followed by

if ($user = Auth::user()) {
    $this->dispatch(new RegisterView($video['id'], $user));
}

In the same controller, how can I ensure that the second dispatch only happens after the first one has finished? Any ideas?

Check out the Queue::after method this should do what you require.

The Job Completion Event documentation states

The Queue::after method allows you to register a callback to be executed when a queued job executes successfully. This callback is a great opportunity to perform additional logging, queue a subsequent job, or increment statistics for a dashboard.
