Bunny::Exchange

DESCRIPTION:

Exchanges are the routing and distribution hub of AMQP. All messages that Bunny sends to an AMQP broker/server have to pass through an exchange in order to be routed to a destination queue. The AMQP specification defines the types of exchange that you can create.

At the time of writing there are four (4) types of exchange defined -

AMQP-compliant brokers/servers are required to provide default exchanges for the direct and fanout exchange types. All default exchanges are prefixed with 'amq.', for example -

If you want more information about exchanges, please consult the documentation for your target broker/server or visit the AMQP website to find the version of the specification that applies to your target broker/server.

Public Instance Methods

delete(opts = {}) click to toggle source

DESCRIPTION:

Requests that an exchange is deleted from broker/server. Removes reference from exchanges if successful. If an error occurs raises Bunny::ProtocolError.

Options:

  • :if_unused => true or false (default) - If set to true, the server will only delete the exchange if it has no queue bindings. If the exchange has queue bindings the server does not delete it but raises a channel exception instead.

  • :nowait => true or false (default) - Ignored by Bunny, always false.

Returns:

:delete_ok if successful

  # ignore the :nowait option if passed, otherwise program will hang waiting for a
  # response that will not be sent by the server

                         "Error deleting exchange #{name}")

  client.exchanges.delete(name)

  # return confirmation
  :delete_ok
end
publish(data, opts = {}) click to toggle source

DESCRIPTION:

Publishes a message to a specific exchange. The message will be routed to queues as defined by the exchange configuration and distributed to any active consumers when the transaction, if any, is committed.

OPTIONS:

  • :key => 'routing_key' - Specifies the routing key for the message. The routing key is used for routing messages depending on the exchange configuration.

  • :mandatory => true or false (default) - Tells the server how to react if the message cannot be routed to a queue. If set to true, the server will return an unroutable message with a Return method. If this flag is zero, the server silently drops the message.

  • :immediate => true or false (default) - Tells the server how to react if the message cannot be routed to a queue consumer immediately. If set to true, the server will return an undeliverable message with a Return method. If set to false, the server will queue the message, but with no guarantee that it will ever be consumed.

  • :persistent => true or false (default) - Tells the server whether to persist the message If set to true, the message will be persisted to disk and not lost if the server restarts. If set to false, the message will not be persisted across server restart. Setting to true incurs a performance penalty as there is an extra cost associated with disk access.
