hotrod-worker
Utilities for building RabbitMQ-based workers
Install
npm install hotrod-worker
Overview
This module helps build a RabbitMQ worker which processes 1 message at a time and acks each message if processed successfully.
Example usage:
var i = 0;var stop = worker;
See usage in hotrod-rabbit-to-http also.
API
- run(rabbitUrl, queueName, connRetrySecs, processMessage, processedResultCB)
rabbitUrl
[string
] - URL for RabbitMQ. Something likeamqp://guest:guest@localhost:5672
queueName
[string
] - Rabbit queue nameconnRetrySecs
[number
] - If the RabbitMQ connection dies, how often to rety connection. If falsey, the process will exit when connection dies.processMessage
[function(msg)
] - Do something with the message from RabbitMQ. Can optionally return a promise to indicate when async operations have handled message successfully. If no error thrown from function or if optional returned promise resolves successfully, then message is acked back to RabbitMQ. Returned or resolved result is passed to optionalmsgProcessed
functionmsgProcessed
[function(result)
] optional - Invoked when message processed successfully and acked back to RabbitMQ. Will be passed any returned or resolved result fromprocessMessage
Some other lower-level functions are also exposed if you want to customize further. Have a look at the source
Notes
Because the processMessage
function can return a promise to indicate success, you can use libraries like promise-retry to make a best effort to handle message and then let the process crash if it fails.
