go-rabbitmq

Wrapper of rabbitmq/amqp091-go that provides reconnection logic and sane defaults. Hit the project with a star if you find it useful ⭐

Supported by Boot.dev

Motivation

Streadway's AMQP library is currently the most robust and well-supported Go client I'm aware of. It's a fantastic option and I recommend starting there and seeing if it fulfills your needs. Their project has made an effort to stay within the scope of the AMQP protocol, as such, no reconnection logic and few ease-of-use abstractions are provided.

Goal

The goal with go-rabbitmq is to still provide most all of the nitty-gritty functionality of AMQP, but to make it easier to work with via a higher-level API. Particularly:

• Automatic reconnection
• Multithreaded consumers via a handler function
• Reasonable defaults
• Flow control handling
• TCP block handling

⚙️ Installation

Inside a Go module:

go get github.com/wagslane/go-rabbitmq

🚀 Quick Start Consumer

Default options

consumer, err := rabbitmq.NewConsumer(
    "amqp://guest:guest@localhost", rabbitmq.Config{},
    rabbitmq.WithConsumerOptionsLogging,
)
if err != nil {
    log.Fatal(err)
}
defer consumer.Close()
err = consumer.StartConsuming(
    func(d rabbitmq.Delivery) rabbitmq.Action {
        log.Printf("consumed: %v", string(d.Body))
        // rabbitmq.Ack, rabbitmq.NackDiscard, rabbitmq.NackRequeue
        return rabbitmq.Ack
    },
    "my_queue",
    []string{"routing_key1", "routing_key2"}
)
if err != nil {
    log.Fatal(err)
}

With options

consumer, err := rabbitmq.NewConsumer(
    "amqp://user:pass@localhost",
    rabbitmq.Config{},
    rabbitmq.WithConsumerOptionsLogging,
)
if err != nil {
    log.Fatal(err)
}
defer consumer.Close()
err = consumer.StartConsuming(
		func(d rabbitmq.Delivery) rabbitmq.Action {
			log.Printf("consumed: %v", string(d.Body))
			// rabbitmq.Ack, rabbitmq.NackDiscard, rabbitmq.NackRequeue
			return rabbitmq.Ack
		},
		"my_queue",
		[]string{"routing_key", "routing_key_2"},
		rabbitmq.WithConsumeOptionsConcurrency(10),
		rabbitmq.WithConsumeOptionsQueueDurable,
		rabbitmq.WithConsumeOptionsQuorum,
		rabbitmq.WithConsumeOptionsBindingExchangeName("events"),
		rabbitmq.WithConsumeOptionsBindingExchangeKind("topic"),
		rabbitmq.WithConsumeOptionsBindingExchangeDurable,
		rabbitmq.WithConsumeOptionsConsumerName(consumerName),
	)
if err != nil {
    log.Fatal(err)
}

🚀 Quick Start Publisher

Default options

publisher, err := rabbitmq.NewPublisher("amqp://user:pass@localhost", rabbitmq.Config{})
if err != nil {
    log.Fatal(err)
}
defer publisher.Close()
err = publisher.Publish([]byte("hello, world"), []string{"routing_key"})
if err != nil {
    log.Fatal(err)
}

With options

publisher, err := rabbitmq.NewPublisher(
    "amqp://user:pass@localhost",
    rabbitmq.Config{},
    // can pass nothing for no logging
    rabbitmq.WithPublisherOptionsLogging,
)
defer publisher.Close()
if err != nil {
    log.Fatal(err)
}
err = publisher.Publish(
	[]byte("hello, world"),
	[]string{"routing_key"},
	rabbitmq.WithPublishOptionsContentType("application/json"),
	rabbitmq.WithPublishOptionsMandatory,
	rabbitmq.WithPublishOptionsPersistentDelivery,
	rabbitmq.WithPublishOptionsExchange("events"),
)
if err != nil {
    log.Fatal(err)
}

returns := publisher.NotifyReturn()
go func() {
    for r := range returns {
        log.Printf("message returned from server: %s", string(r.Body))
    }
}()

Stability

Note that the API is currently in v0. I don't plan on any huge changes, but there may be some small breaking changes before we hit v1.

Transient Dependencies

My goal is to keep dependencies limited to 1, github.com/rabbitmq/amqp091-go.
