A library for making AMQP 0-9-1 clients for Node.JS, and an AMQP 0-9-1 client for Node.JS v10+.

This library does not implement [AMQP
1.0](https://github.com/amqp-node/amqplib/issues/63) or [AMQP
0-10](https://github.com/amqp-node/amqplib/issues/94).

Project status:

- Expected to work
- Complete high-level and low-level APIs (i.e., all bits of the protocol)
- Stable APIs
- A fair few tests
- Measured test coverage
- Ports of the [RabbitMQ tutorials][rabbitmq-tutes] as [examples][tutes]
- Used in production

Still working on:

- Getting to 100% (or very close to 100%) test coverage

## Callback API example

```javascript
const amqplib = require('amqplib/callback_api');
const queue = 'tasks';

amqplib.connect('amqp://localhost', (err, conn) => {
if (err) throw err;

// Listener
conn.createChannel((err, ch2) => {
if (err) throw err;

ch2.assertQueue(queue);

ch2.consume(queue, (msg) => {
if (msg !== null) {
console.log(msg.content.toString());
ch2.ack(msg);
} else {
console.log('Consumer cancelled by server');
}
});
});

// Sender
conn.createChannel((err, ch1) => {
if (err) throw err;

ch1.assertQueue(queue);

setInterval(() => {
ch1.sendToQueue(queue, Buffer.from('something to do'));
}, 1000);
});
});
```

## Promise/Async API example

```javascript
const amqplib = require('amqplib');

(async () => {
const queue = 'tasks';
const conn = await amqplib.connect('amqp://localhost');

const ch1 = await conn.createChannel();
await ch1.assertQueue(queue);

// Listener
ch1.consume(queue, (msg) => {
if (msg !== null) {
console.log('Received:', msg.content.toString());
ch1.ack(msg);
} else {
console.log('Consumer cancelled by server');
}
});

// Sender
const ch2 = await conn.createChannel();

setInterval(() => {
ch2.sendToQueue(queue, Buffer.from('something to do'));
}, 1000);
})();

```

## Running tests

npm test

To run the tests RabbitMQ is required. Either install it with your package
manager, or use [docker][] to run a RabbitMQ instance.

docker run -d --name amqp.test -p 5672:5672 rabbitmq

If prefer not to run RabbitMQ locally it is also possible to use a
instance of RabbitMQ hosted elsewhere. Use the `URL` environment
variable to configure a different amqp host to connect to. You may
also need to do this if docker is not on localhost; e.g., if it's
running in docker-machine.

One public host is dev.rabbitmq.com:

URL=amqp://dev.rabbitmq.com npm test

**NB** You may experience test failures due to timeouts if using the
dev.rabbitmq.com instance.

You can run it under different versions of Node.JS using [nave][]:

nave use 10 npm test

or run the tests on all supported versions of Node.JS in one go:

make test-all-nodejs

(which also needs `nave` installed, of course).

Lastly, setting the environment variable `LOG_ERRORS` will cause the
tests to output error messages encountered, to the console; this is
really only useful for checking the kind and formatting of the errors.

LOG_ERRORS=true npm test
