# RedisQueue.available property · @imqueue/core

Source: https://imqueue.org/api/core/latest/core.redisqueue.available/
Published: 2026-08-04

Package: @imqueue/core 3.3.2 — generated reference, not hand-written

Returns false only when this queue is known to be unable to accept writes right now — i.e., it has a writer connection currently in a non-ready (reconnecting/closed) state. A queue that has not yet connected is considered available, since sending connects it lazily. Used for health-aware routing in the clustered queue.

**Signature:**

```typescript
get available(): boolean;
```

## Remarks

The writer connection is shared per `host:port` within the process, so this reflects the health of that server connection rather than of this instance alone — every queue pointing at the same server reports the same value.
