Usage

Publish to Queue

The publish method allows you to send messages quickly. Existing options can be added or overwritten

import { Client } from "amqp-extension";

const client = new Client({
    connection: 'amqp://<user>:<password>@<host>',
    exchange: {
        name: '<name>',
        type: 'topic'
    }
});

(async () => {
    await client.publish({
        content: {
            type: 'resourceCreated',
            name: 'foo'
        }
    });
})();

Consume Queue

To consume a queue use the consume function. As first argument it accepts a configuration object and as second argument and object to specify an async callback function handler for a specific message type.

import {
    Client,
    ConsumeMessage,
    ConsumeOptions,
} from "amqp-extension";

const client = new Client({
    connection: 'amqp://<user>:<password>@<host>',
    exchange: {
        name: '<name>',
        type: 'topic'
    }
});

const options: ConsumeOptions = {
    exchange: {
        routingKey: '<routing-key>'
    }
}

(async () => {
    await client.consume(options, {
        resourceCreated: async (message: ConsumeMessage) => {
            const content = message.content.toString('utf-8');
            const payload = JSON.parse(content);
            console.log(payload);
            // { type: 'resourceCreated', name: 'foo' }
        }
    });
})();

Functions

publish

▸ function publish(message: Message, options?: PublishOptions): Promise<void>

Send the constructed queue message to the message broker. As second parameter a registered config can be used by specifying the alias or provide the full config object.

Example

Simple

import { Client } from "amqp-extension";

const client = new Client({
    // ...
});

(async () => {
    await client.publish({
        content: {
            type: 'resourceCreated'
        }
    });
})();

consume

▸ function consume(options: ConsumeOptions, cb: ConsumeHandlers): Promise<void>

    routingKey: '<routing-key>'
}

(async () => {
    await client.consume(options, {

Types

Config Types

import { Options } from 'amqplib';
import { ExchangeOptions } from '../exchange';
import { ConsumeOptions, PublishOptions } from '../type';

export type Config = {
    connection: Options.Connect | string,
    exchange: ExchangeOptions,
    publish: PublishOptions,
    consume: ConsumeOptions
};

export type ConfigInput = Partial<Exclude<Config, 'connection'>> &
    Pick<Config, 'connection'>;
