[![Build Status](https://drone-1.prima.it/api/badges/primait/amqpx/status.svg)](https://drone-1.prima.it/primait/amqpx)
## About
A simple Amqp library based on [official elixir amqp client](https://hex.pm/packages/amqp)
Written to prevent duplicated and boilerplate code to handle all the lifecycle of the amqp connection. Write your publisher or consumer and forget about the rest!
## Installation
```elixir
def deps do
[
{:amqpx, "~> 6.0.2"}
]
end
```
From 3.0.0 Amqpx is no longer an application. This is so the client can choose in which environment or configuration to have consumers up and running.
You would then need to start your consumers and producer in the client's supervision tree, instead of adding Amqpx to the `extra_application` list as it was in the past.
To start all consumers and producer inside your application, using the library helper function:
```elixir
defmodule Application do
alias Amqpx.Helper
import Supervisor.Spec, warn: false
def start(_type, _args) do
children =
Enum.concat(
[
Helper.manager_supervisor_configuration(
Application.get_env(:myapp, :amqp_connection)
),
Helper.producer_supervisor_configuration(
Application.get_env(:myapp, :producer)
)
],
Helper.consumers_supervisor_configuration(
Application.get_env(:myapp, :consumers)
)
)
opts = [strategy: :one_for_one, name: Supervisor, max_restarts: 5] # set this accordingly with your consumers count, ex: max_restarts: n_consumer + 5
Supervisor.start_link(children, opts)
end
end
```
Start consumers and producer manually:
```elixir
Amqpx.Gen.ConnectionManager.start_link(%{connection_params: Application.get_env(:myapp, :amqp_connection)})
Amqpx.Gen.Producer.start_link(Application.get_env(:myapp, :producer))
Enum.each(Application.get_env(:myapp, :consumers), &Amqpx.Gen.Consumer.start_link(&1))
```
## Sample configuration
### Connection
```elixir
config :myapp,
amqp_connection: [
username: "amqpx",
password: "amqpx",
host: "rabbit",
port: 5_000,
virtual_host: "amqpx",
heartbeat: 30,
connection_timeout: 10_000,
obfuscate_password: false, # default is true
]
```
### Consumers
Default parameters:
- prefetch_count: 50
- backoff: 5_000 (connection retry)
WARNING: headers exchange binding not supported by library helpers functions
```elixir
config :myapp,
consumers: [
%{
handler_module: Myapp.Consumer,
prefetch_count: 100,
backoff: 10_000
}
]
config :myapp, Myapp.Consumer, %{
queue: "my_queue",
exchanges: [
%{name: "amq.topic", type: :topic, routing_keys: ["my.routing_key1","my.routing_key2"], opts: [durable: true]},
%{name: "my_exchange", type: :direct, routing_keys: ["my_queue"], opts: [durable: true]},
%{name: "my_exchange_fanout", type: :fanout, opts: [durable: true]}
],
opts: [
durable: true,
arguments: [
{"x-dead-letter-routing-key", :longstr, "my_queue_errored"},
{"x-dead-letter-exchange", :longstr, ""}
]
]
}
```
### Producers
Default parameters:
- publish_timeout: 1_000
- backoff: 5_000 (connection retry)
- exchanges: []
- publish_retry_options: [
max_retries: 0,
retry_policy: [],
backoff: [
base_ms: 10,
max_ms: 10_000
]
]
You can also declare exchanges from the producer module, simply specify them in the configuration. There is an example below.
```elixir
config :myapp, :producer, %{
publisher_confirms: false,
publish_timeout: 0,
exchanges: [
%{name: "my_exchange", type: :direct, opts: [durable: true]}
]
}
```
#### Publish retry options
- `max_retries`: number of times a `publish` will be retried. A `publish` can be executed at most (`max_retries` + 1) times
- `retry_policy`: collection of error conditions which will cause the `publish` to be retried. Can be a combination of the following atoms:
- `:on_publish_rejected` (when the broker itself rejects)
- `:on_confirm_timeout` (when the confirm from the broker times out)
- `:on_publish_error` (when there is an error returned at AMQP protocol level)
- `backoff`: sleep time between `publish` retries. Calculated as `random_between(0, min(cap, base * 2 ** attempt))`
- `base_ms`: time in millisecond that is used as `base` term in the formula above
- `max_ms`: time in millisecond that is used as `cap` term in the formula above
## Usage example
### Consumer
```elixir
defmodule Myapp.Consumer do
@moduledoc nil
@behaviour Amqpx.Gen.Consumer
alias Amqpx.Basic
alias Amqpx.Helper
@config Application.get_env(:myapp, __MODULE__)
@queue Application.get_env(:myapp, __MODULE__)[:queue]
def setup(channel) do
# here you can declare your queues and exchanges
Helper.declare(channel, @config)
Basic.consume(channel, @queue, self()) # Don't forget to start consuming here!
{:ok, %{}}
end
def handle_message(payload, meta, state) do
IO.inspect("payload: #{inspect(payload)}, metadata: #{inspect(meta)}")
{:ok, state}
end
end
```
### Producer
```elixir
defmodule Myapp.Producer do
@moduledoc nil
alias Amqpx.Gen.Producer
def send_payload(payload) do
Producer.publish("my_exchange", "my_exchange_routing_key", payload)
end
end
```
## Handle message rejections
You can define an implement an optional callback inside your `Consumer` module that will be called whenever an error is raised in the `handle_message` callback and the `redelivered` flag is set to `true`. This callback can be useful whenever you want to define a standard rejection logic (e.g. datadog alarms and such).
### Consumer
```elixir
defmodule Myapp.HandleRejectionConsumer do
@moduledoc nil
@behaviour Amqpx.Gen.Consumer
alias Amqpx.Basic
alias Amqpx.Helper
@config Application.get_env(:myapp, __MODULE__)
@queue Application.get_env(:myapp, __MODULE__)[:queue]
def setup(channel) do
# here you can declare your queues and exchanges
Helper.declare(channel, @config)
Basic.consume(channel, @queue, self()) # Don't forget to start consuming here!
{:ok, %{}}
end
def handle_message(payload, meta, state) do
IO.inspect("payload: #{inspect(payload)}, metadata: #{inspect(meta)}")
# something that could fail
{:ok, state}
end
def handle_message_rejection(error) do
# will be invoked whenever handle_message fails
# do something like error logging
{:ok}
end
end
```
