# RabbitMQ Client for Vert.x

A Vert.x client allowing applications to interact with a RabbitMQ broker (AMQP 0.9.1)

This service is experimental and the APIs are likely to change before settling down.

## Getting Started

### Maven

Add the following dependency to your maven project

    <dependency>
      <groupId>io.vertx</groupId>
      <artifactId>vertx-rabbitmq-client</artifactId>
      <version>3.3.1</version>
    </dependency>

### Gradle

Add the following dependency to your gradle project

    dependencies {
      compile 'io.vertx:vertx-rabbitmq-client:3.3.1'
    }

### Create a client

You can create a client instance as follows:

    var RabbitMQClient = require("vertx-rabbitmq-js/rabbit_mq_client");
    var client = RabbitMQClient.create(vertx, config);

## Operations

The following are some examples of the operations supported by the RabbitMQService API.

Consult the javadoc/documentation for detailed information on all API methods.

### Publish

Publish a message to a queue

    var message = {
      "body" : "Hello RabbitMQ, from Vert.x !"
    };
    client.basicPublish("", "my.queue", message, function (pubResult, pubResult_err) {
      if (pubResult_err == null) {
        console.log("Message published !");
      } else {
        pubResult_err.printStackTrace();
      }
    });

### Consume

Consume messages from a queue

    // Create the event bus handler which messages will be sent to
    // Create the event bus handler which messages will be sent to
    vertx.eventBus().consumer("my.address", function (msg) {
      var json = msg.body();
      console.log("Got message: " + json.body);
    });

    // Setup the link between rabbitmq consumer and event bus address
    client.basicConsume("my.queue", "my.address", function (consumeResult, consumeResult_err) {
      if (consumeResult_err == null) {
        console.log("RabbitMQ consumer created !");
      } else {
        consumeResult_err.printStackTrace();
      }
    });

### Get

Will get a message from a queue

    client.basicGet("my.queue", true, function (getResult, getResult_err) {
      if (getResult_err == null) {
        var msg = getResult;
        console.log("Got message: " + msg.body);
      } else {
        getResult_err.printStackTrace();
      }
    });

### Consume messages without auto-ack

    // Create the event bus handler which messages will be sent to
    vertx.eventBus().consumer("my.address", function (msg) {
      var json = msg.body();
      console.log("Got message: " + json.body);
      // ack
      client.basicAck(json.deliveryTag, false, function (asyncResult, asyncResult_err) {
      });
    });

    // Setup the link between rabbitmq consumer and event bus address
    client.basicConsume("my.queue", "my.address", false, function (consumeResult, consumeResult_err) {
      if (consumeResult_err == null) {
        console.log("RabbitMQ consumer created !");
      } else {
        consumeResult_err.printStackTrace();
      }
    });

## Running the tests

You will need to have RabbitMQ installed and running with default ports on localhost for this to work. <a href="mailto:nscavell@redhat.com">Nick Scavelli</a>
