End House Software Message Queue Module

End House Software Message Queue Module.

Getting Started

These instructions will get you a copy of the project up and running on your local machine for development and testing purposes. See deployment for notes on how to deploy the project on a live system.

Prerequisites

The message queue module uses a MongoDB database to store data. You can create a MongoDB database by creating an account on Atlas.

In ehsmsgqueue.js you must edit the following source code line,

var uri = "mongodb+srv://username:[email protected]/dbname";

to reflect the database name, user name and password.

To run locally you need the NodeJS software installed (the npm package manager is bundled with NodeJS).

To edit source code, right-click on project's directoy, e.g ehsmsgqueue and select Open with Code menu option.

Deployment

Install message queue module in project ...

npm install --save ehsmsgqueue

and then ...

(a) Define Message Queue Variable

var mqueue = require('ehsmsgqueue');

(b) Init Message Queue

mqueue.initMsgQueues( msgQueueName, username, 
	function(err, result){ 
});

(c) Get a Message From the Queue

router.post('/getmsg', function(req, res) {
  var msgQueueName = req.body.msgqueue;
  var username = req.body.username;

  mqueue.getMsg(msgQueueName,username,function(err, result){
res.send(result);
  });
});

(d) Set a Message in the Queue

router.post('/setmsg', function(req, res) {
  var msgQueueName = req.body.msgqueue;
  var msg = req.body.msg;
  
  mqueue.setMsg(msgQueueName,msg,function(err, result){
  });

  res.send("");
});
