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

Question

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?

Its a quite old question. But maybe who came across this post by google. Laravel is firing an event after a job is queued. Illuminate\Queue\Events\JobQueued

You can add a listener to this event and reach almost all infos incl. The DB id int your event listener.

In your EventServiceProvider attach your listener. In my app it is the JobQueuedListener file

use Illuminate\Queue\Events\JobQueued;

protected $listen = [
        JobQueued::class =>[
            JobQueuedListener::class
        ],

In the JobQueuedListener file you can now access the event var.

public function handle(JobQueued $event)
{
    $this->event  = $event;
    $mainListener = $event->job->class ?? '';
    if ($mainListener == 'App\Listeners\IpBlockedListener') {
        $this->addIdToIpBlockedModel();
    }

    }
