Rabbitode is a probject created to provide a simple interface in order to work with the AMQP interface to rabbitmq. RabbitMQ is an events broker that allows us to send a recieve events between producers and consumers via an event queue.

Installation

• Installation via npm npm install rabbitode -S
• Installation via yarn yarn add rabbitode

Requirements

In order for this project to run you must have a working instance of rabbitmq on your machine or server. I reccomend docker for local development. docker run -p 5672:5672 -d --rm --name rabbit rabbitmq:3

Api

Sending Messages

Direct

// const { exchangeTypes, sendMessage, getDefaultQueueConfig } = require('rabbitode') <--- could also be this then use exchangeTypes.DIRECT
const { DIRECT } = require('rabbitode/lib/exchangeTypes');
const { sendMessage } = require('rabbitode/lib/sendMessage');
const { getDefaultQueueConfig } = require('rabbitode/lib/utils');

await sendMessage({
  messageConfig: {
      exchangeName: 'direct_test_exchange',
      routingKey: `direct_test_queue`,
      content: {
        message: `this is a test message for direct connection`
      }
  },
  exchangeType: DIRECT, // direct, fanout, exchange are all available types
  connectionUrl: 'amqp://localhost',
  configs: getDefaultQueueConfig(),
  connectionOptions: {},
  publishCallback: () => {
    // something here
  }
});

Fanout

// const { exchangeTypes, sendMessage, getDefaultQueueConfig } = require('rabbitode') <--- could also be this then use exchangeTypes.FANOUT
const { FANOUT } = require('rabbitode/lib/exchangeTypes');
const { sendMessage } = require('rabbitode/lib/sendMessage');
const { getDefaultQueueConfig } = require('rabbitode/lib/utils');

await sendMessage({
  messageConfig: {
      exchangeName: 'fanout_test_exchange',
      routingKey: `fanout_test_queue`,
      content: {
          message: `this is a test message for direct stuff ${count}`
      }
  },
  exchangeType: FANOUT,
  connectionUrl: 'amqp://localhost',
  configs: getDefaultQueueConfig(), // replace this with queue configs from amqplib
  connectionOptions: {},
  publishCallback: () => {}
});

Topic

// const { exchangeTypes, sendMessage, getDefaultQueueConfig } = require('rabbitode') <--- could also be this then use exchangeTypes.TOPIC
const { TOPIC } = require('rabbitode/lib/exchangeTypes');
const { sendMessage } = require('rabbitode/lib/sendMessage');
const { getDefaultQueueConfig } = require('rabbitode/lib/utils');
await sendMessage({
  messageConfig: {
      exchangeName: 'topic_test_exchange',
      routingKey: `topic.key`,
      content: {
          message: `this is a test message for direct stuff ${count}`
      }
  },
  exchangeType: TOPIC,
  connectionUrl: 'amqp://localhost',
  configs: {
    ...getDefaultQueueConfig(),
    somethingElse: true,
  }, // replace this with queue configs from amqplib
  connectionOptions: {},
  publishCallback: () => {
    // something here
  }
});

Consuming messages

Direct

const { closeRabbit } = require('rabbitode/lib/connection');
const { startConsumer } = require('rabbitode/lib/consumers');
const { decodeToJson, decodeToString } = require('rabbitode/lib/encoding');

const handleConsume = channel => msg => {
  console.log(decodeToString(msg));
  console.log(decodeToJson(msg));
  channel.ack(msg);
};

const { conn, channel } = startConsumer({
  queueConfig: {
    exchangeName: 'direct_test_exchange',
    exchangeType: 'direct',
    queueName: 'direct_test_queue',
    consumerCallback: handleConsume,
  },
  connectionUrl: 'amqp://localhost',
});
await closeRabbit(conn, channel);

Fanout

const { closeRabbit } = require('rabbitode/lib/connection');
const { startConsumer } = require('rabbitode/lib/consumers');
const { decodeToJson, decodeToString } = require('rabbitode/lib/encoding');

const handleConsume = channel => msg => {
  console.log(decodeToString(msg));
  console.log(decodeToJson(msg));
  channel.ack(msg);
};

const { conn, channel } = startConsumer({
  queueConfig: {
    exchangeName: 'fanout_test_exchange',
    exchangeType: 'fanout',
    queueName: 'fanout_test_queue',
    consumerCallback: handleConsume,
  },
  connectionUrl: 'amqp://localhost',
});

await closeRabbit(conn, channel);

Topic

const { closeRabbit } = require('rabbitode/lib/connection');
const { startConsumer } = require('rabbitode/lib/consumers');
const { decodeToJson, decodeToString } = require('rabbitode/lib/encoding');

const handleConsume = channel => msg => {
  console.log(decodeToString(msg));
  console.log(decodeToJson(msg));
  console.log(msg.fields.routingKey);
  channel.ack(msg);
};

const { conn, channel } = startConsumer({
  queueConfig: {
    exchangeName: 'topic_test_exchange',
    exchangeType: 'topic',
    queueName: 'topic_test_queue',
    consumerCallback: handleConsume,
  },
  connectionUrl: 'amqp://localhost',
  topics: ['test.*', '*.test'],
});
await closeRabbit(conn, channel);

Turning off logging

const Logger = require('rabbitode/lib/logger');
logger.setDebug(false);

Getting JSON from a message

const { startConsumer } = require('rabbitode/lib/consumers');
const { decodeToJson } = require('rabbitode/lib/encoding');

const handleConsume = channel => msg => {
  console.log(decodeToJson(msg));
  channel.ack(msg);
};

Getting a string from a message

const { startConsumer } = require('rabbitode/lib/consumers');
const { decodeToString } = require('rabbitode/lib/encoding');

const handleConsume = channel => msg => {
  console.log(decodeToString(msg));
  channel.ack(msg);
};

Getting default configs

const {
  getDefaultQueueConfig,
  getDefaultConsumerConfig,
} = require('rabbitode/lib/utils');

const baseconfig = getDefaultQueueConfig();
const consumerConfig = getDefaultConsumerConfig();

Getting failed "offline" messages

const { getOfflineQueue } = require('rabbitode/lib/offline');
const queue = getOfflineQueue();

// once your connection is backup you can loop the queue and send again

queue.forEach(config => {
  sendMessage({
    messageConfig: config.message,
    exchangeType: config.exchangeType, // direct, fanout, exchange are all available types
    connectionUrl: 'amqp://localhost',
    configs: {},
    connectionOptions: {},
    publishCallback: () => {},
  });
});
