Package Exports
- bullmq
This package does not declare an exports field, so the exports above have been automatically detected and optimized by JSPM instead. If any package subpath is missing, it is recommended to post an issue to the original package (bullmq) to support the "exports" field. If that is not possible, create a JSPM override to customize the exports field for this package.

The gist
Install:
$ yarn add bullmq
Add jobs to the queue:
import { Queue } from 'bullmq';
const queue = new Queue('Paint');
queue.add('cars', { color: 'blue' });
Process the jobs in your workers:
import { Worker } from 'bullmq';
const worker = new Worker('Paint', async job => {
if (job.name === 'cars') {
await paintCar(job.data.color);
}
});
Listen to jobs for completion:
import { QueueEvents } from 'bullmq';
const queueEvents = new QueueEvents('Paint');
queueEvents.on('completed', jobId => {
console.log('done painting');
});
queueEvents.on('failed', (jobId, err) => {
console.error('error painting', err);
});
This is just scratching the surface, check all the features and more in the official documentation
