typescript-rabbitmq

A broker client library of using rabbitmq in a typescript code

This version supporting rabbitmq topic configuration. Next versions will include support for direct and fanout.

##Install

npm install --save typescript-rabbitmq

##API ##Create let broker = new Broker(config);

See below about the configuration

##Connect broker = await this.broker.connect();

This will connect to the rabbit server where the host:port defined in the config.

Define Queues Callbacks

Call to addConsume method to add queue callback, for example broker.addConsume("work.tasks.queue", (msg) => {..});

#####Example of using the broker as a member of user class

class Receiver {
  broker: Broker;

  constructor() {
    this.broker = new Broker(config);
  }

  async init() {
    await this.broker.connect();

    this.broker.addConsume("work.tasks.queue", this.taskCB.bind(this));
    this.broker.addConsume("work.reply.queue", this.replyCB.bind(this));
  }

  taskCB(msg) {
    ...
  }

  replyCB(msg) {
    ...
  }
}

This will call taskCB and replyCB on messages coming to "work.tasks.queue" and "work.reply.queue" accordingly.

Configuration

Example of configuration looks like that:

let config: any = {
    connection: {
        user: process.env.QUEUE_USERNAME,
        pass: process.env.QUEUE_PASSWORD,
        host: process.env.QUEUE_SERVER || 'localhost',
        port: process.env.QUEUE_PORT || '5672',
        timeout: 2000,
        name: "rabbitmq"
    },
    exchanges: [
        {name: "work.tasks.exchange", type: "topic", options: {publishTimeout: 1000, persistent: true, durable: false}},
        {name: "work.reply.exchange", type: "topic", options: {publishTimeout: 1000, persistent: true, durable: false}}
    ],
    queues: [
        {name: "work.tasks.queue", options: {limit: 1000, queueLimit: 1000}},
        {name: "work.reply.queue", options: {limit: 1000, queueLimit: 1000}}
    ],
    binding: [
        {exchange: "work.tasks.exchange", target: "work.tasks.queue", keys: "somekey.#"},
        {exchange: "work.reply.exchange", target: "work.reply.queue", keys: "otherkey.#"}
    ],
    logging: {
        adapters: {
            stdOut: {
                level: 3,
                bailIfDebug: true
            }
        }
    }
};

• exchanges define the exchanges you want to use
• queues define the queues available
• binding the binging of queues with exchanges.
