Queue.ready

Method Signature

Queue.ready()

Returns: Promise => Boolean

• Only returns false if the Queue object has been stopped or dropped.

Example:

q.ready().then((isReady) => {
  // isReady === true
}).catch(err => console.error(err))

Description

Although this looks like a really important method on the Queue object, it is not. All the Queue object methods that touch the database rely on the Queue.ready() Promise. Therefore you do not need to use it yourself. As an example, calling Queue.addJob returns a Promise. That Promise originated from Queue.ready.

As a best practice, avoid using the Queue.ready method. That said, there is nothing wrong with using it.
