# HareMq

HareMq is an Elixir library for interacting with AMQP (Advanced Message Queuing Protocol) systems, such as RabbitMQ. It provides modules for configuring connections, declaring queues and exchanges, publishing messages, and handling message retries.

## Getting Started

To use HareMq in your Elixir project, follow these steps:

Install the required dependencies by adding them to your `mix.exs` file:

```elixir
defp deps do
  [
    {:hare_mq, "~> 1.0.0"}
  ]
end
```

### Publisher
```elixir
defmodule MyApp.MessageProducer do
  use HareMq.Publisher,
    routing_key: "routing_key",
    exchange: "exchange"

  # Function to send a message to the message queue.
  def send_message(message) do
    # Publish the message using the HareMq.Publisher behavior.
    publish_message(message)
  end
end
```

### Consumer
```elixir
defmodule MyApp.MessageConsumer do
  use HareMq.Consumer,
    queue_name: "queue_name",
    routing_key: "routing_key",
    exchange: "exchange"

  # Function to process a received message.
  def consume(message) do
    # Log the beginning of the message processing.
    IO.puts("Processing message: #{inspect(message)}")
  end
end
```

The consumer_count: 10 option indicates that it should run 10 worker processes.
### Dynamic Consumer
```elixir
defmodule MyApp.MessageConsumer do
  use HareMq.DynamicConsumer,
    queue_name: "queue_name",
    routing_key: "routing_key",
    exchange: "exchange",
    consumer_count: 10

  # Function to process a received message.
  def consume(message) do
    # Log the beginning of the message processing.
    IO.puts("Processing message: #{inspect(message)}")
  end
end
```

### Usage in Application: MyApp.Application
```elixir
defmodule MyApp.Application do
  use Application

  def start(_type, _args) do
    children = [
      # Start the message consumer.
      MyApp.MessageConsumer,

      # Start the message producer.
      MyApp.MessageProducer,
    ]

    opts = [strategy: :one_for_one, name: MyApp.Supervisor]
    Supervisor.start_link(children, opts)
  end
end
```
## Configuration
```elixir
config :hare_mq, 
  :amqp,
    host: "localhost",
    url: "amqp://guest:guest@myhost:12345",
    user: "guest",
    password: "guest"

config :hare_mq, :configuration,
  delay_in_ms: 10_000,
  retry_limit: 15,
  message_ttl: 31_449_600
```

## Modules

### HareMq.Configuration

The `HareMq.Configuration` module defines a configuration structure for AMQP connections and queues. It provides a function to retrieve queue configurations.

### HareMq.Connection

The `HareMq.Connection` module manages the connection to the AMQP server using the GenServer behavior. It handles connection monitoring and reconnects in case of failures.

### HareMq.Queue

The `HareMq.Queue` module provides functions for declaring and configuring queues, including binding, declaring regular, delayed, and dead-letter queues.

### HareMq.Exchange

The `HareMq.Exchange` module offers functions for declaring and binding exchanges, allowing users to set up routing between queues.

### HareMq.Publisher

The `HareMq.Publisher` module defines a behavior for publishing messages to an AMQP system. It includes connection handling, channel retrieval, and message publishing with a retry mechanism.

### HareMq.RetryPublisher

The `HareMq.RetryPublisher` module handles the republishing of messages with retry logic. It tracks the retry count in message headers and decides whether to republish to a delay queue or a dead letter queue.

### HareMq.Consumer

The `HareMq.Consumer` module defines a behavior for consuming messages from an AMQP system. It includes connection setup, channel declaration, and message consumption with error handling and retry mechanisms.

## Contributing and Testing

We welcome contributions to improve and expand this project. If you're interested in contributing, please follow these steps:

### Writing Tests

To ensure the stability and reliability of the project, we strongly encourage writing tests for any new features or bug fixes. Tests are crucial for maintaining the quality of the codebase and catching issues early in the development process.

We use [ExUnit](https://hexdocs.pm/ex_unit/ExUnit.html) for testing in Elixir. You can find the test files in the `test/` directory. Follow the existing test patterns and write new tests to cover the functionality you're adding or modifying.

### Running Tests

To run the tests, execute the following command in your terminal:

```bash
mix test
