[FIXED] In Laravel 5.3, how to get the Job ID after we dispatch a job to the job queue?

Issue

In Laravel 5.3, in the controller, we can dispatch a job to the job queue like this:

$job = (new JobClass())->onQueue('queuename');
dispatch($job);

In the Job class which is using InteractsWithQueue trait, in the handle function, we can get the Job ID like this:

$this->job->getJobId();

But, I would like to get the Job ID in my controller after I use the dispatch($job).

How to get the Job ID in controller?

If there is no such function available, can we extend the dispatch helper function to add this function?

Solution

The dispatch() function will return the Job id:

$job = (new JobClass())->onQueue('queuename');
$jobId = dispatch($job);

dd($jobId);
