# Rabbit

[![Build Status](https://travis-ci.org/nsweeting/rabbit.svg?branch=master)](https://travis-ci.org/nsweeting/rabbit)
[![Rabbit Version](https://img.shields.io/hexpm/v/rabbit.svg)](https://hex.pm/packages/rabbit)

Rabbit is a set of tools for building applications with RabbitMQ.

## Installation

The package can be installed by adding `rabbit` to your list of dependencies in `mix.exs`:

```elixir
def deps do
  [
    {:rabbit, "~> 0.20"}
  ]
end
```

## Documentation

Please see [HexDocs](https://hexdocs.pm/rabbit) for additional documentation.

## [Connections](https://hexdocs.pm/rabbit/Rabbit.Connection.html)

Connections form the basis of any application that is working with RabbitMQ. A
connection module is needed by all the other modules included with Rabbit.

Upon start, a connection will automatically create a pool of RabbitMQ connections
to utilize.

```elixir
defmodule MyConnection do
  use Rabbit.Connection

  def start_link(opts \\ []) do
    Rabbit.Connection.start_link(__MODULE__, opts, name: __MODULE__)
  end

  # Callbacks

  @impl Rabbit.Connection
  def init(:connection_pool, opts) do
    # Perform runtime pool config
    {:ok, opts}
  end

  def init(:connection, opts) do
    # Perform runtime connection config
    uri = System.get_env("RABBITMQ_URI") || "amqp://guest:guest@127.0.0.1:5672"
    opts = Keyword.put(opts, :uri, uri)

    {:ok, opts}
  end
end

MyConnection.start_link()
```

## [Consumers](https://hexdocs.pm/rabbit/Rabbit.Consumer.html)

Consumers are the "workers" of your application. They must be provided a connection
module and queue to consume. Every message received is then passed along to your
`handle_message/1` callback within its own process.

You can optionally implement the `handle_setup/2` callback to perform any work
needed to declare queues/exchanges/bindings.

```elixir
defmodule MyConsumer do
  use Rabbit.Consumer

  def start_link(opts \\ []) do
    Rabbit.Consumer.start_link(__MODULE__, opts, name: __MODULE__)
  end

  # Callbacks

  @impl Rabbit.Consumer
  def init(:consumer, opts) do
    # Perform runtime config
    {:ok, opts}
  end

  @impl Rabbit.Consumer
  def handle_setup(state) do
    # Optional callback to perform any exchange or queue setup
    AMQP.Queue.declare(state.channel, state.queue)
    :ok
  end

  @impl Rabbit.Consumer
  def handle_message(message) do
    # Handle message consumption
    IO.inspect(message.payload)
    {:ack, message}
  end

  @impl Rabbit.Consumer
  def handle_error(message) do
    # Handle message errors
    {:nack, message}
  end
end

MyConsumer.start_link(connection: MyConnection, queue: "my_queue", prefetch_count: 10)
```

## [Consumer Supervisors](https://hexdocs.pm/rabbit/Rabbit.ConsumerSupervisor.html)

Consumer supervisors provide an easy way to start and supervise multiple consumer
processes. Rather than creating a module for each consumer and implementing
repetitive logic - the same callbacks are used across all consumers.

```elixir
defmodule MyConsumerSupervisor do
  use Rabbit.ConsumerSupervisor

  def start_link(consumers \\ []) do
    Rabbit.ConsumerSupervisor.start_link(__MODULE__, consumers, name: __MODULE__)
  end

  # Callbacks

  @impl Rabbit.ConsumerSupervisor
  def init(:consumer_supervisor, _consumers) do
    # Perform runtime config for the consumer supervisor
    consumers = [
      [connection: MyConnection, queue: "my_queue", prefetch_count: 5],
      [connection: MyConnection, queue: "my_queue_2", prefetch_count: 10],
    ]

    {:ok, consumers}
  end

  def init(:consumer, opts) do
    # Perform runtime config per consumer
    {:ok, opts}
  end

  @impl Rabbit.ConsumerSupervisor
  def handle_setup(state) do
    # Optional callback to perform any exchange or queue setup per consumer
    AMQP.Queue.declare(state.channel, state.queue)
    :ok
  end

  @impl Rabbit.ConsumerSupervisor
  def handle_message(message) do
    # Handle message consumption per consumer
    IO.inspect(message.payload)
    {:ack, message}
  end

  @impl Rabbit.ConsumerSupervisor
  def handle_error(message) do
    # Handle message errors per consumer
    {:nack, message}
  end
end

MyConsumerSupervisor.start_link()
```

## [Producers](https://hexdocs.pm/rabbit/Rabbit.Producer.html)

In order to publish messages to RabbitMQ, we must create a producer module. They
must be provided a connection module.

Upon start, a producer will automatically create a pool of RabbitMQ channels
to publish from.

You can optionally implement the `handle_setup/1` callback to perform any work
needed to declare queues/exchanges/bindings.

```elixir
defmodule MyProducer do
  use Rabbit.Producer

  def start_link(opts \\ []) do
    Rabbit.Producer.start_link(__MODULE__, opts, name: __MODULE__)
  end

  # Callbacks

  @impl Rabbit.Producer
  def init(:producer_pool, opts) do
    # Perform runtime config for the producer pool
    {:ok, opts}
  end

  def init(:producer, opts) do
    # Perform runtime config per producer
    {:ok, opts}
  end
end

MyProducer.start_link(connection: MyConnection)
Rabbit.Producer.publish(MyProducer, "", "my_queue", "hello")
```

## [Topology](https://hexdocs.pm/rabbit/Rabbit.Topology.html)

Topology provides a way to centralize any RabbitMQ setup required by your
application. In that sense, it should be started BEFORE any of your producers
or consumers.

Using a topology, you can automatically setup queues, exchanges and bindings
with simple keyword lists.

```elixir
defmodule MyTopology do
  use Rabbit.Topology

  def start_link(opts \\ []) do
    Rabbit.Topology.start_link(__MODULE__, opts, name: __MODULE__)
  end

  # Callbacks

  @impl Rabbit.Topology
  def init(:topology, opts) do
    # Perform runtime config
    {:ok, opts}
  end
end

MyTopology.start_link(
  connection: MyConnection,
  queues: [
    [name: "my_queue", durable: true],
    [name: "my_queue_2", durable: true],
  ],
  exchanges: [
    [name: "my_exchange"],
    [name: "my_exchange_2", type: :fanout, durable: true],
  ],
  bindings: [
    [type: :queue, source: "my_exchange", destination: "my_queue", routing_key: "my_key"],
    [type: :exchange, source: "my_exchange_2", destination: "my_exchange_1"]
  ]
)
```

## [Brokers](https://hexdocs.pm/rabbit/Rabbit.Broker.html)

Brokers encapsulate all of the above components into a single easy-to-use module.
It provides a single place to handle your RabbitMQ connections, topology,
producers and consumers.

```elixir
defmodule MyBroker do
  use Rabbit.Broker

  def start_link(opts \\ []) do
    Rabbit.Broker.start_link(__MODULE__, opts, name: __MODULE__)
  end

  # Callbacks

  @impl Rabbit.Broker
  # Perform runtime configuration per component
  def init(:connection_pool, opts), do: {:ok, opts}
  def init(:connection, opts), do: {:ok, opts}
  def init(:topology, opts), do: {:ok, opts}
  def init(:producer_pool, opts), do: {:ok, opts}
  def init(:producer, opts), do: {:ok, opts}
  def init(:consumer_supervisor, opts), do: {:ok, opts}
  def init(:consumer, opts), do: {:ok, opts}

  @impl Rabbit.Broker
  def handle_message(message) do
    # Handle message consumption per consumer
    IO.inspect(message.payload)
    {:ack, message}
  end

  @impl Rabbit.Broker
  def handle_error(message) do
    # Handle message errors per consumer
    {:nack, message}
  end
end

MyBroker.start_link(
  connection: [uri: "amqp://guest:guest@127.0.0.1:5672"],
  topology: [
    queues: [
      [name: "my_queue", durable: true],
      [name: "my_queue_2", durable: true]
    ]
  ],
  producer: [pool_size: 10],
  consumers: [
    [queue: "my_queue"],
    [queue: "my_queue_2", prefetch_count: 10]
  ]
)
Rabbit.Broker.publish(MyBroker, "", "my_queue", "hello")
```
