I’m trying to implement Nodemailer with Bull/Redis to handle email-type of tasks in NestJS.

I have a shared module called EmailService that add a job to my queue, to do this, it needs to inject the Queue from 'bull'.

Nest can’t resolve dependencies of the EmailService (?). Please make
sure that the argument BullQueue_mailqueue at index [0] is available
in the SharedModule context.

My structure

├── src
|  ├── app.module.ts
|  ├── config
|  |  └── nodemailer
|  |     ├── nodemailer.module.ts
|  |     ├── nodemailer.service.ts
|  └── modules
|     ├── modules that imports the SharedModule to send emails.
|  └── shared
|     ├── processors
|     |  └── email.processor.ts
|     ├── services
|     |  └── email
|     ├── shared.module.ts

app.module

@Module({
  imports: [
    NodemailerModule,
    // Al other modules (functionalities of my application that imports the SharedModule)
  ],
})
export class AppModule {}

nodemailer.module

@Module({
  imports: [
    MailerModule.forRootAsync({
      useClass: NodemailerService,
    }),
    BullModule.registerQueueAsync({
      useClass: NodemailerService,
    }),
  ],
  exports: [NodemailerService, BullModule], // <- Exports BullModule
  providers: [NodemailerService],
})
export class NodemailerModule {}

NodemailerService

@Injectable()
export class NodemailerService implements BullOptionsFactory {
  constructor() {}

  createBullOptions(): Promise<BullModuleOptions> | BullModuleOptions {
    return {
      name: 'myqueue',
      redis: {
        host: 'localhost',
        port: 6379,
      },
    };
  }

}

Now this is my EmailService that is part of SharedModule.

import { Injectable } from '@nestjs/common';
import { InjectQueue } from '@nestjs/bull';
import { Queue } from 'bull';

@Injectable()
export class EmailService {

  constructor(
    @InjectQueue('myqueue')
    private readonly mailQueue: Queue,
  ) {}

}

SharedModule

@Module({
  imports: [NodemailerModule], // < imports this because it has the Bull configuration as we saw above
  exports: [EmailService],
  providers: [EmailService, EmailProcessor],
})
export class SharedModule {}

I have tried to follow the steps on:

  1. https://firxworx.com/blog/coding/nodejs/email-module-for-nestjs-with-bull-queue-and-the-nest-mailer/
  2. Implementing Bull Queue in Typescript

I cannot see why my EmailService cannot inject the BullQueue dependency.

What I am missing here?

  1. you need to import bullModule in app module.
    as documentation:
    In order to prevent the creation of BullConfigService inside BullModule and use a provider imported from a different module, you can use the useExisting syntax.

    BullModule.forRootAsync({
      imports: [ConfigModule],
      useExisting: ConfigService,
    });
    

    so import BullModule for root is neccessary

  2. The module that injects the queue needs to import the queue registration. I.e.

    folder/some.module.ts

    @Module({
      imports: [
        BullModule.registerQueue({
          name: 'some-queue',
        }),
      ],
      providers: [SomeService],
    })
    export class SomeModule {}
    

    Then in SomeService

    folder/some.service.ts

    constructor(
      @InjectQueue('some-queue') private someQueue: Queue,
    ) {}
