Install

npm install ng2-simple-mq

Usage

ng2-simple-mq is implemented as Angular 2 injectable service name SimpleMQ.

Module

Add SimpleMQ into module providers (eg. app.module.ts.

import { SimpleMQ } from 'ng2-simple-mq';

@NgModule({
  providers: [SimpleMQ]
})

Component

import { SimpleMQ } from 'ng2-simple-mq';

export class ChildComponent {

  constructor(private smq: SimpleMQ) { }

}

API

newQueue(name: string): boolean

newQueue will create queue name.

Return false if queue name exist.

this.smq.newQueue('broadcast');

delQueue(name: string): boolean

delQueue will delete queue name.

Return false if queue name does not exist.

this.smq.delQueue('broadcast');

getQueue(): string[]

getQueue will return all queue name in string array.

let q: string[] = this.smq.getQueue();

getSubscription(): string[]

getSubscription will return all subscription id in string array.

let ids: string[] = this.st.getSubscription();

publish(name: string, msg: any, lazy = true): boolean

publish will put msg into queue name.

If lazy = true(default), queue name will be created automatically if not exist yet.

Return true if successful.

Return false if any of following is true:

• lazy = false, and queue name does not exist.
• name is undefined.
• msg is undefined.

// lazy mode
message = 'This is a broadcast message';
this.smq.publish('broadcast',message);

subscribe(name: string, callback: (any) => void, lazy = true): string

subscribe will link callback function to queue name. Whenever queue name receive a new message, callback will be invoked.

If lazy = true(default), queue name will be created automatically if not exist yet.

Return subscription id if successful.

Return empty string if any of following is true:

• lazy = false, and queue name does not exist.
• name is undefined.
• callback is undefined.

Either use Lambda(fat arrow) in typescript to pass in callback or bind this to another variable in javascript, else this scope will be lost.

Lambda(fat arrow)

broadcastMsg;

ngOnInit() {
  // lazy mode
  this.smq.subscribe('broadcast', e => this.receiveBroadcast(e));
}

receiveBroadcast(m) {
  this.broadcastMsg = m;
}

unsubscribe(id: string): boolean

unsubscribe will cancel subscription using id.

unsubscribe will return false if id is undefined or id is not found in subscription list.

id: string;

this.st.unsubscribe(this.id);
