@salo/graphql-amqp-subscriptions v1.1.3

graphql-amqp-subscriptions

This package implements the PubSubEngine Interface from the graphql-subscriptions package. It allows you to connect your subscriptions manager to a AMQP PubSub mechanism.

This package is influenced by graphql-redis-subscriptions and graphql-rabbitmq-subscriptions.

Installation

npm

npm i @salo/graphql-amqp-subscriptions

yarn

yarn add @salo/graphql-amqp-subscriptions

Usage

Basic

import { AMQPPubSub } from '@salo/graphql-amqp-subscriptions';
import amqp from 'amqplib';

amqp.connect('amqp://guest:guest@localhost:5672?heartbeat=30')
.then(conn => {
  const pubsub = new AMQPPubSub({
    connection: conn
    /* exchange: 'graphql_subscriptions' */
  });
  // Use the pubsub instance from here on
})
.catch(err => {
  console.error(err);
});

Example

import { AMQPPubSub } from '@salo/graphql-amqp-subscriptions';
import amqp from 'amqplib';

const queue = [];

// eslint-disable-next-line import/no-mutable-exports
export let pubsub = {
  publish: (key, content) => {
    queue.push({ key, content });
    console.log('🐰 RabbitMQ connection not ready yet');
  },
  asyncIterator: () => console.log('🐰 RabbitMQ connection not ready yet')
};

amqp
  .connect(`amqp://${ user }:${ password }@${ host }:${ port }?heartbeat=30`)
  .then((connection) => {
    pubsub = new AMQPPubSub({
      connection,
      exchange: 'main',
      exchangeType: 'direct',
      queueName: 'queuey mcqueueface',
      queueOptions: {
        durable: true,
        passive: false,
        exclusive: false,
        autoDelete: false
      }
    });

    console.log('🐰 RabbitMQ ready to hop');
    
    // Go through items queued while waiting
    queue.forEach(({ key, content }) => {
      pubsub.publish(key, content);
    });
    if (queue.length) {
      console.log(`🐰 Processed ${ queue.length } queued messages`);
      queue.length = 0;
    }
  })
  .catch((error) => {
    console.error('🐰 Error connecting to RabbitMQ:', error);
  });

Benefits

• Reusing existing amqplib Connection.
• Reusing channels (one for subscriptions, one for publishing).
• Performance/Ressource-usage benefits on AMQP (RabbitMQ) because of the aforementioned reasons more info.
• Using Topic Exchange (e.g. you publish to agreements.eu.berlin.headstore and subscribe to agreements.eu.#) more info.

What the fork?

On top of the original repo this fork adds:

• More lenient engine definition in package.json (able to be used in Node >= 10).
• Additional configuration that you can pass to a queue and exchange.
• Upstream bugfixes.

Debug

This package uses Debug.
