Hi!
I have a question about Task ID.

We can receive it when we create a task and send it to the Enqueue.

But I don't see the ID of the task in handling function, we only have *asynq.Task.
My question is: Is it possible to retrieve taskID in the handle function?

I think it will be really helpful (especially for a logging)
Thank you!

You can get it by calling GetTaskID passing in the context.

func MyHandler(ctx context.Context, task *asynq.Task) error {
     id, ok := asynq.GetTaskID(ctx)
     // ... rest of the handler code omitted.
}

Hi. Thank you for the response.
Do you consider returning the whole metadata struct?
Something like this?

// GetMetadata extracts metadata from a context, if any.
func GetMetadata(ctx context.Context) (metadata taskMetadata, ok bool) {
	metadata, ok = ctx.Value(metadataCtxKey).(taskMetadata)
	return
}
