feature request: worker's job filter about pg-boss HOT 7 OPEN

You can already do this using wildcards. Set all workers to a wildcard by default, such as icecream.*, then, you can replace the wildcard with a specific flavor

Sorry, I don't get it.
Does the producer that send the message must know the consumer's queue in di case?

My target would be having a silly producer that does not know how many consumers the BE has

from pg-boss.

Queue patterns use the * character to match 0 or more characters. For example, a job from queue status-report-12345 would be fetched with pattern status-report-* or even stat*5.

For example, a producer would use the flavor as part of the queue name, such as icecream.vanilla and icecream.chocolate. A consumer using work('icecream.*') would get both flavors, but another consumer using work('icecream.vanilla') would not get chocolate.

The proposed solution assumes that I have control over the producer - it is not the case 😞

Would you mind to accept a PR with such a feature in case?

Yes, sounds good

This would be useful. I didn't see a test case for work('icecream.*.toppings.none') sort of queue layouts.
