Custom Job Data Serialization - SuperJSON?

[jonstelly]

Is there any support for providing my own serializer/deserializer for job data?

I've got a hacky way of doing it now, wrapping queue.add and serializing there, and then in my worker handler I deserialize, but that doesn't cover job.updateData so now I'll need to add something for that, and if I wanted to support other operations on the queue then I'd have to handle those too, so this definitely doesn't feel like an ideal way of doing things.

EDIT: The bullmq code was pretty easy to read, I took a stab at adding support here. It's only being used for job.data in this PoC but that feels like the safest/minimal thing I'd want. I also haven't tested it yet but was curious to get feedback.

I think usage would be something like:

new Queue<TData>("jobs", { stringify: SuperJSON.stringify, parse: SuperJSON.parse, connection })

And similar for the Worker.

Any thoughts?
