node-amqp

Wrapper around the amqplib node library.

The main goal of this module is to hide the actual procedures needed to establish a amqp connection instantiating objects.

node-amqp is developed by 720kb.

Requirements

Node.js v5.0.0+

Installation

This module can be installed via npm issuing:

$ npm install node-amqp --save

in your project folder.

Usage

At this moment, the module expose four objects that manage two kind of interactions between actors:

• Publish/Subscribe;
• Work queue.

The first configuration is achieved with the Publisher and Subscriber objects; the second is achieved with Task and Worker objects.

All these notify theirs connections state with events, at the moment the only usable are:

• amqp:ready: emitted when the amqp connection and client channel are correctly instantiated and configured;
• amqp:connection-closed: emitted when the amqp connection is closed;
• amqp:channel-close: emitted when the client channel opened upon the amqp connection is closed.

Examples

Here are short usage examples:

Publish/Subscribe

//Publish
const nodeAmqp = require('node-amqp')
  , Publisher = nodeAmqp.Publisher
  , publisher = new Publisher({
    'host': '<amqp host>', //e.g. amqp://localhost
    'exchangeName': '<exchange where publish the messages>', //e.g. node-amqp:exchange-test
    'socketOptions': {} // socket options used for example to configure ssl. Reference for this can be found at http://www.squaremobius.net/amqp.node/channel_api.html#connect
  });

  publisher.send('a message!'); //objects must be serialized, for example in JSON

//Publish
const nodeAmqp = require('node-amqp')
  , Subscriber = nodeAmqp.Subscriber;

class MySubscriber extends Subscriber {

  constructor() {
    super({
      'host': '<amqp host>', //e.g. amqp://localhost
      'exchangeName': '<exchange where published messages are>', //e.g. node-amqp:exchange-test
      'socketOptions': {} // socket options used for example to configure ssl. Reference for this can be found at http://www.squaremobius.net/amqp.node/channel_api.html#connect
    });
  }

  onMessage(message) {
    let messageArrived = message.content.toString();

    console.info(`${messageArrived} published!`);
  }
}
const subscriber = new MySubscriber();

Work queue

//Producer
const nodeAmqp = require('node-amqp')
  , Task = nodeAmqp.Task
  , task = new Task({
    'host': '<amqp host>', //e.g. amqp://localhost
    'queueName': '<queue where put the messages>', //e.g. node-amqp:queue-test
    'socketOptions': {} // socket options used for example to configure ssl. Reference for this can be found at http://www.squaremobius.net/amqp.node/channel_api.html#connect
  });

task.send('a message!'); //objects must be serialized, for example in JSON

//Consumer
const nodeAmqp = require('node-amqp')
  , Worker = nodeAmqp.Worker
  , worker = new Worker({
    'host': '<amqp host>', //e.g. amqp://localhost
    'queueName': '<queue where get the messages>', //e.g. node-amqp:queue-test
    'socketOptions': {} // socket options used for example to configure ssl. Reference for this can be found at http://www.squaremobius.net/amqp.node/channel_api.html#connect
  });

//1st approach register a consumer:
worker.consume()
.then(message => {
  worker.cancelConsumer(); //if you want to cancel the consumer call this method.
  let messageArrived = message.content.toString();

  console.info(`${messageArrived} arrived from producer`);
})
.catch(err => {

  throw new Error(err);
});

//2nd approach query for a message:
worker.receive()
.then(message => {

  if (message) { //false if there is nothing on queue
    let messageArrived = message.content.toString();

    console.info(`${messageArrived} present in queue`);
  }
})
.catch(err => {

  throw new Error(err);
});
