BullMQ reusing redis connections

[Lord-Jerry]

I am trying to add logic to re-use Redis connections with bullMQ using this instruction from the bullMQ docs.

I am using the most recent (1.81.1) BullMQ npm version.

I followed the instruction on the docs, to create an object that includes a createClient method.
But I get the following error TS2559.

Type '{ createClient: (type: string, redisOpts: any); }' has no properties in common with type 'QueueOptions'.

Code Sample

import Redis from 'ioredis'
import { Queue } from 'bullmq'

const sharedRedisClientConnection = new Redis(REDIS_URL as string, redisConfig)
const sharedRedisSubscriberConnection = new Redis(REDIS_URL as string, redisConfig)

const options = {
  createClient: (type?: string) => {
    switch (type) {
      case 'client':
        return sharedRedisClientConnection
      case 'subscriber':
        return sharedRedisSubscriberConnection
      default:
        return new Redis(REDIS_URL as string, redisConfig)
    }
  }
}

const userQueue = new Queue('users', options)

node version: v16.13.0
typescript version: v4.5.5

The documentation you are pointing to is for Bull, not BullMQ. In BullMQ you do not need to use that pattern, just pass directly the redis connection that you want to reuse and if BullMQ can reuse it it will do so automatically:
https://docs.bullmq.io/guide/connections

@manast The documentation about reusing connections is on the bullmq docs website: https://docs.bullmq.io/bull/patterns/reusing-redis-connections
so should this not be removed when it is no longer needed / supported ?
