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

The queue name. The underlying redis list key is `<prefix>:<name>`, the same name is the default pub/sub channel used by [RedisQueue.publish()](https://imqueue.org/api/core/latest/core.redisqueue.publish/), and it is the `from` value carried by messages this queue sends.

**Signature:**

```typescript
name: string;
```

## Remarks

Assign it before [RedisQueue.start()](https://imqueue.org/api/core/latest/core.redisqueue.start/) — a running reader keeps consuming the key it was started with.
