zaek
Simplifies work with streaming RabbitMQ exchanges and queues.
## Installation
```shell
$ npm install zaek
```
## Quick start
First you need to add a reference to zaek in your application.
```javascript
const zaek = require('zaek');
```
Then you need to connect to a RabbitMQ instance by calling the `connect` function and providing the instance's url or connection settings.
```javascript
// either by supplying url
const zaekBroker = await zaek.connect({ url: 'amqp://...' });
// or configobject
const zaekBroker = await zaek.connect({
protocol: 'amqp',
hostname: 'localhost',
port: 5672,
username: 'guest',
password: 'guest',
locale: 'en_US',
frameMax: 0,
heartbeat: 0,
vhost: '/',
});
```
If something goes wrong, an error is emitted on the `zaekBroker` object. So you should subscribe to the `error` event.
```js
zaekBroker.once('error', (err) => {
/// ...
});
```
Additionally, if you want to get informed when zaek becomes disconnected, subscribe to the `disconnect` event.
```js
zaekBroker.once('disconnect', (err) => {
/// ...
});
```
## Implemented Patterns
### Worker
A Worker Queue is a combination of a single exchange with a single queue that shares its load across multiple nodes ( Round-robin dispatching ). One of the advantages of using a Worker Queue is the ability to easily parallelize work. If we are building up a backlog of work, we can just add more workers and that way, scale easily.
For that, call the worker function on the zaekBroker and specify a name.
```js
const worker = zaekBroker.worker('zaek:test:worker');
```
To publish messages to this worker, call the createWriteStream function, and then use the write function of the stream that is returned. You have to supply the body of the message in the ```body``` property
```js
const publishStream = await worker.createWriteStream();
publishStream.write({ body: { foo: 'bar' } });
```
To subscribe to messages received by this worker, call the createReadStream function, and then subscribe to the stream's data event. You can access the message's body through its ```body``` property.
Additionally, you need to process the received message. If you were able to successfully handle the message, call the ```ack``` function. If not, either call ```reject``` (which removes the message), or call ```nack``` (which requeues the message).
```js
const workSrream = await worker.createReadStream();
workSrream.on('data', (message) => {
console.log(`foo says ${message.body.foo}`); // foo says bar
// ...
message.ack(); // or message.reject(); or message.nack();
});
```
> **TODO** explain about additional available options. Especially persistence.
### Pub-Sub
A publisher is a combination of a single exchange with multiple queues where each queue receives all messages. For that, call the publisher function and specify a name.
