Required
Required
Type
string
Description
The unique name of this Queue within the service. Subsequent calls to queue with the same name will return the same object.

Access

All Nitric resources provide access permissions you can use to specify the level of access your service needs to the resource. See here for details about infrastructure security.

Available permissions:

enqueue

This permission allows your service to enqueue new messages.

dequeue

This permission allows your service to dequeue messages and complete them.

Notes

In most instances, code should either enqueue or dequeue from a queue, usually not both.

Examples

Create a Queue

import { queue } from '@nitric/sdk'

const batchQueue = queue('batch')

Enqueue messages

import { queue } from '@nitric/sdk'

const payload = {}
const batchQueue = queue('batch').allow('dequeue')

const messages = await batchQueue.enqueue()
