bk-rabbitmq-pubsub v0.2.0

bk-rabbitmq-pubsub

This is a very opinionated abstraction over amqplib to help simplify the implementation of PubSub messaging patterns on RabbitMQ.

!IMPORTANT! - bk-rabbitmq-pubsub needs nodejs >= 8.x.

Features:

• Publish event on a channel with data
• Subscribe event from a channel and receive data
• Attempt to gracefully handle lost connections and channels
• Connections have a backoff policy of exponential delay randomized: ~1s, ~2s, ~4s, ~8s then stable at ~8s, ~8s...

Installation

npm install bk-rabbitmq-pubsub

Getting started

const RabbitmqPubSub = require('bk-rabbitmq-pubsub');

const pubsub = new RabbitmqPubSub();

// subscribe on the channel myEvent
pubsub.subscribe('myEvent', (data) => {
	console.log(data);
})

// publish event with data on channel MyEvent
pubsub.publish('myEvent', data);
