# JobQueueOptions.prefix property · @imqueue/job

Source: https://imqueue.org/api/job/latest/job.jobqueueoptions.prefix/
Published: 2026-07-31
Author: @imqueue maintainers (https://github.com/imqueue)
Package: @imqueue/job 3.0.3 — generated reference, not hand-written

Prefix for every key this queue creates in the broker.

**Signature:**

```typescript
prefix?: string;
```

## Default Value

"imq-job"

## Remarks

It namespaces the queue, so two queues sharing a name but not a prefix stay separate — which is how one Redis instance serves several environments. `@imqueue/core`'s default is `imq`; this package uses `imq-job` so job keys are distinguishable from RPC ones at a glance.
