SQS queue name prefix

Certainly! You can achieve this by defining a queue name prefix in your .env file and referencing it in your config/queue.php configuration. Here’s how you can do it:

Step 1: Add a Prefix to Your .env

Add a variable to your .env file for the queue prefix:

QUEUE_PREFIX=qa-

For production, you might set:

QUEUE_PREFIX=prod-

---

Step 2: Update config/queue.php

In your config/queue.php, update the SQS connection to use the prefix:

'sqs' => [
    'driver' => 'sqs',
    'key' => env('AWS_ACCESS_KEY_ID'),
    'secret' => env('AWS_SECRET_ACCESS_KEY'),
    'prefix' => env('SQS_PREFIX', 'https://sqs.us-east-1.amazonaws.com/your-account-id'),
    'queue' => env('SQS_QUEUE', env('QUEUE_PREFIX', '') . 'admin-medium'),
    'suffix' => env('SQS_SUFFIX'),
    'region' => env('AWS_DEFAULT_REGION', 'us-east-1'),
],

But for more flexibility, you can create a helper function to prefix the queue name when dispatching:

---

Step 3: Create a Helper Function (Optional, Recommended)

You can create a global helper in app/helpers.php (make sure to autoload it via composer):

if (! function_exists('queue_name')) {
    function queue_name($name)
    {
        return env('QUEUE_PREFIX', '') . $name;
    }
}

---

Step 4: Use the Helper When Dispatching

Now, when dispatching jobs, use the helper:

MyJob::dispatch()->onQueue(queue_name('admin-medium'));

This way, you only need to specify the base queue name (admin-medium), and the environment prefix will be automatically added.

---

Summary

• Add QUEUE_PREFIX to your .env
• Use a helper to prefix queue names when dispatching
• Now you can call ->onQueue('admin-medium') and it will resolve to qa-admin-medium or prod-admin-medium depending on the environment.
