# 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:

    import io.vertx.groovy.rabbitmq.RabbitMQClient
    def 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

    def message = [
      body:"Hello RabbitMQ, from Vert.x !"
    ]
    client.basicPublish("", "my.queue", message, { pubResult ->
      if (pubResult.succeeded()) {
        println("Message published !")
      } else {
        pubResult.cause().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", { msg ->
      def json = msg.body()
      println("Got message: ${json.body}")
    })

    // Setup the link between rabbitmq consumer and event bus address
    client.basicConsume("my.queue", "my.address", { consumeResult ->
      if (consumeResult.succeeded()) {
        println("RabbitMQ consumer created !")
      } else {
        consumeResult.cause().printStackTrace()
      }
    })

### Get

Will get a message from a queue

    client.basicGet("my.queue", true, { getResult ->
      if (getResult.succeeded()) {
        def msg = getResult.result()
        println("Got message: ${msg.body}")
      } else {
        getResult.cause().printStackTrace()
      }
    })

### Consume messages without auto-ack

    // Create the event bus handler which messages will be sent to
    vertx.eventBus().consumer("my.address", { msg ->
      def json = msg.body()
      println("Got message: ${json.body}")
      // ack
      client.basicAck(json.deliveryTag, false, { asyncResult ->
      })
    })

    // Setup the link between rabbitmq consumer and event bus address
    client.basicConsume("my.queue", "my.address", false, { consumeResult ->
      if (consumeResult.succeeded()) {
        println("RabbitMQ consumer created !")
      } else {
        consumeResult.cause().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>
