Jackrabbit

RabbitMQ in Node.js without hating life.

producer.js:

var jackrabbit = require('jackrabbit');
var rabbit = jackrabbit(process.env.RABBIT_URL);

rabbit
  .default()
  .publish('Hello World!', { key: 'hello' })
  .on('drain', rabbit.close);

consumer.js:

var jackrabbit = require('jackrabbit');
var rabbit = jackrabbit(process.env.RABBIT_URL);

rabbit
  .default()
  .queue({ name: 'hello' })
  .consume(onMessage, { noAck: true });

function onMessage(data) {
  console.log('received:', data);
}

Jackrabbit is designed for simplicity and an easy API. If you're an AMQP expert and want more power and flexibility, check out wascally.

Use

For now, the best usage help is found in the examples, which map 1-to-1 with the official RabbitMQ tutorials.

Installation

npm install --save jackrabbit

Tests

The tests are set up with Docker + Docker-Compose, so you don't need to install rabbitmq (or even node) to run them:

$ docker-compose run jackrabbit npm test

If using Docker-Machine on OSX:

$ docker-machine start
$ eval "$(docker-machine env default)"
$ docker-compose run jackrabbit npm test
