ESL RabbitMQ Client

Wrapper that works on top of RabbitMQ Erlang Client.

This is also a nice API for using RabbitMQ through Erlang.

This project aims to make RabbitMQ developers' life easier by not having to know/use all the rabbitmq-erlang-client entities (records). Also it handles reconnection automatically, so you don't need to worry about it.

Getting Started

• Connect to RabbitMQ:

Add `esl_rabbitmq_client` as a dependency of your application and make sure it is started before your app starts

• Declare exchange:

esl_rabbitmq_client_worker:create_exchange(Exchange, <<"fanout">>, durable),

• Declare queue:

Queue = esl_rabbitmq_client_worker:create_queue( [{exclusive, true}] ),

• Bind Queue:

esl_rabbitmq_client_worker:bind_queue(Queue, Exchange, <<"r-key">>),

• Consume messages:

esl_rabbitmq_client_worker:consume(Queue, self()),

• Publish a message:

esl_rabbitmq_client_worker:publish(<<"my-exch">>, <<"r-key">>, <<"my-message">>),

• Acknowledge a message:

esl_rabbitmq_client_worker:acknowledge_message(DeliveryTag),

---

If you want to use different values than the default ones when connecting to a RabbitMQ node, just set the parameters within your app's configuration file.

Also if you want to set some extra parameters when declaring queues or when declaring exchanges you can use esl_rabbitmq_client_worker:create_queue/1 and esl_rabbitmq_client_worker:create_exchange/1 respectively. You have the same options when publishing, so if you need to set some properties of a message you can use esl_rabbitmq_client_worker:publish/1.
