Package Exports

amqplib
amqplib/lib/connection

This package does not declare an exports field, so the exports above have been automatically detected and optimized by JSPM instead. If any package subpath is missing, it is recommended to post an issue to the original package (amqplib) to support the "exports" field. If that is not possible, create a JSPM override to customize the exports field for this package.

Known to be used in production

Client API example

var q = 'tasks';

// Publisher
var open = require('amqplib').connect('amqp://localhost');
open.then(function(conn) {
  var ok = conn.createChannel();
  ok = ok.then(function(ch) {
    ch.assertQueue(q);
    ch.sendToQueue(q, new Buffer('something to do'));
  });
  return ok;
}).then(null, console.warn);

// Consumer
open.then(function(conn) {
  var ok = conn.createChannel();
  ok = ok.then(function(ch) {
    ch.assertQueue(q);
    ch.consume(q, function(msg) {
      console.log(msg.content.toString());
      ch.ack(msg);
    });
  });
  return ok;
}).then(null, console.warn);

Running tests

npm test

Best run with a locally-installed RabbitMQ, but you can point it at another using the environment variable URL; e.g.,

URL=amqp://dev.rabbitmq.com npm test

(NB You may experience test failures due to timeouts if using the dev.rabbitmq.com instance)

You can run it under different versions of Node.JS using nave:

nave use 0.8 npm test

Lastly, setting the environment variable LOG_ERRORS will cause the tests to output error messages encountered, to the console; this is really only useful for checking the kind and formatting of the errors.

LOG_ERRORS=true npm test
