Using classes to define jobs?

I would like to know if it is possible to create a job as a class. For instance, would something like this be possible?

class SendNotificationMails extends someBaseJobClass {
  constructor() {
    this.attach("notification-mails", /*... other settings */)
  }
  async run() {
    // Execute job...
  }
}

It would make organizing a lot of background jobs much easier to write everything in classes and just have them register at an initial script.

If you are looking for another example of a wrapping method, here’s how Actionhero takes it’s Task classes and structures them into the node-resque methods https://github.com/actionhero/actionhero/blob/3f9d936000d44afffd8798f1c3f5a3cb872390d2/src/initializers/tasks.ts#L62-L134

I ended up creating this wrapper:

/**
 *
 * Wrapper to overcome issue that perform is called with wrong this context.
 *
 * @author Elan Ruusamäe <[e-mail]>
 *
 * https://github.com/actionhero/node-resque/issues/270
 */
class JobWrapper {
  static wrap(proxy: any) {
    return {
      perform: async (...args: []) => {
        return await proxy.perform.apply(proxy, args);
      }
    };
  }
}


  const jobs = {
    test: JobWrapper.wrap(new Job()),
  };
