How to use

The consumer

conn, err := NewConnection("amqp://guest:[email protected]:5672/")

if err != nil {
    panic(err)
}

c, err := NewConsumer(conn, false, "events-exchange", "events-queue")

if err != nil {
    panic(err)
}

c.Subscribe("object.*", func(body []byte) bool {
    fmt.Println(body)
    return true
})

go c.Consume()

conn.WaitUntilConnectionClose()

The producer

conn, err := NewConnection("amqp://guest:[email protected]:5672/")

if err != nil {
    panic(err)
}

p, err := NewProducer(conn, "events-exchange", "events-queue")

if err != nil {
    panic(err)
}

err = p.Publish("object.my_action", []byte("message"))

if err != nil {
    panic(err)
}

Actions

The action can be a full word, a wildcard (*) or multiple words or wildcards delimited by dots (.)

Look the examples below:

• The action handler my_action will match only my_action event.
• The action handler my_action.foo will match only my_action.foo event.
• The action handler my_action.* will match my_action.foo, my_action.bar and all my_action.* events.
• The action handler my_action.foo.bar will match only my_action.foo.bar event.
• The action handler my_action.*.bar will match my_action.foo.bar, my_action.bar.bar and all my_action.*.bar events.
• The action handler * will match all events.
