eyeos-consume-service

Eyeos Consume Service Library

Overview

This library is designed to be "Fire and Forget", meaning that you call a service and then you do not expect a return value but instead you tell the service where to call you back.

vdiService --------------Reply to X ------------> vdiBroker

vdiBroker --------------------X-----------------> vdiService

This api is inspired by https://github.com/aacerox/node-rest-client but adapted to our needs.

How to use it

URL's in eyeos-consume-service

URL's are specified in the form:

:///[//][//]...

See more info below on AMQP URL's...

AMQP URL's

URL's using Amqp transport are specified in the following form:

• protocol: (mandatory) can be: amqp, amqp.exchange or amqp.queue. amqp publishes to a queue.
• destinationName: (optional, except if routingKey is specified). Name of the exchange or queue in RabbitMQ.
• routingKey: (optional) routingKey used when publishing to exchange.
• version: (mandatory) name or the API version. URL mapping to queue or exchange, some examples:
• amqp://login/v1 => Queue login.v1
• amqp.exchange://presence.v1 => Exchange presence.v1
• amqp.queue://vdi.user.machine.events/v1 => Queue vdi.user.machine.events.v1

Sample usage: Simple GET

    var Client = require('../index').Client;
    var client = new Client();
    var replyto = "amqp://whereilisten/v1/machine/";
    client.get("amqp://howlingtoyou/v1/vm", "post", replyto);

The code above sends a request to vdibroker and tells it to reply back to the vdiservice.

Connection Management

In the case of sending via AMQP, the connection is got using eyeos-amqp.amqpConnectionFactory and is reused. The connection can be closed by using ***Client.close()***.
