rust-amqp

AMQ protocol implementation in pure rust.

Note: The project is still in very early stages of development, it implements all the protocol parsing, but not all the protocol methods are wrapped/easy to use. Expect the API to be changed in the future.

What it currently can do:

• Connect to server
• Open/close channels
• Declare queues/exchanges
• All the methods from the Basic class are implemented, including get, publish, ack, nack, reject, consume. So you can send/receive messages.

Have a look at the examples in examples/ folder.

Connecting to the server & openning channel:

extern crate amqp;
use amqp::Session;

let mut session = Session::open_url("amqp://localhost//").unwrap();
let mut channel = session.open_channel(1).unwrap();

Note: This library supports TLS connections, via OpenSSL. However, this is an optional feature that is enabled by default but can be disabled at build-time (via cargo --no-default-features on the command-line, or with default-features = false in your Cargo.toml).

Declaring queue:

//The arguments come in following order:
//queue: &str, passive: bool, durable: bool, exclusive: bool, auto_delete: bool, nowait: bool, arguments: Table
let queue_declare = channel.queue_declare("my_queue_name", false, true, false, false, false, Table::new());

Publishing message:

channel.basic_publish("", "my_queue_name", true, false,
    protocol::basic::BasicProperties{ content_type: Some("text".to_string()), ..Default::default()}, (b"Hello from rust!").to_vec());

This will send message: "Hello from rust!" to the queue named "my_queue_name".

The messages have type of Vec<u8>, so if you want to send string, first you must convert it to Vec<u8>.

Known issues:

• We don't handle frames sent to channel 0 after the session was established.
• Asynchronous methods are not handled properly see #18.
• There are still few places where we call unwrap, not handling error responses properly.

Missing things:

• There's no facility to re-establish connection

• No heartbeats support

• Not all the amqp methods are implemented in a rust interface. You can still call them manually.

Development notes:

The methods encoding/decoding code is generated using codegen.rb & amqp-rabbitmq-0.9.1.json spec.

You need to have rustfmt installed to generate protocol.rs To generate a new spec, run:

make

To build the project and run the testsuite, use cargo:

cargo build
cargo test

Moreover, there are several source examples to show library usage, and an interactive one to quickly test the library. They can be run directly from cargo:

cargo run --example interactive

OpenSSL

On MacOS X If you have problems with OpenSSL during complication, regarding missing headers or linkage, try:

brew install openssl
export OPENSSL_INCLUDE_DIR=`brew --prefix openssl`/include
export OPENSSL_LIB_DIR=`brew --prefix openssl`/lib

cargo clean
cargo test
