RabbitMQ Kotlin

The RabbitMQ Kotlin Coroutine Library is designed to provide Kotlin developers with an efficient, coroutine-based approach to interact with RabbitMQ.
This library simplifies message queue operations by integrating seamlessly with Kotlin's coroutines, offering a modern and reactive way to handle asynchronous messaging in Kotlin applications.
It supports a variety of advanced features including queue and exchange manipulations, message publishing with confirmation, message consuming with acknowledgment, transactional operations, and the Remote Procedure Call (RPC) pattern.

Features

• Queue and Exchange Manipulations: Easily create, delete, and configure queues and exchanges. Supports all RabbitMQ exchange types (direct, topic, headers, fanout) and offers flexible options for queue bindings and attributes.
• Message Publishing with Confirmation: Publish messages to queues with the option to receive confirmations, ensuring reliable delivery and handling of messages.
• Message Consuming with Acknowledgment: Consume messages from queues with acknowledgment support, allowing for precise control over message processing and acknowledging.
• Transactional Publishing and Consuming: Support for transactional operations, enabling the grouping of publish and consume actions into atomic units, ensuring data consistency and reliability.
• RPC Pattern Implementation: Facilitates the implementation of the RPC pattern, allowing for easy setup of request-response message flows, suitable for service-oriented architectures.

Getting Started

You need to have Java 8 installed.

Asynchronous message publishing with confirmation

    val connectionFactory = ConnectionFactory().apply { useNio() }
    connectionFactory.newConnection().use { connection ->
        connection.confirmChannel {
            declareQueue(QueueSpecification(PUBLISHER_QUEUE_NAME)).queue
            publish {
                (1..TIMES).map { createMessage("") }.map { async(Dispatchers.IO) { publishWithConfirm(it) } }.awaitAll()
                    .forEach { println(it) }
            }
        }
    }

Asynchronous message consuming with acknowledgement

Consume only n-messages:

val connectionFactory = ConnectionFactory().apply { useNio() }
    connectionFactory.newConnection().use { connction ->
        connction.channel {
            consume(CONSUMER_QUEUE_NAME, 1) {
                (1..CONSUME_TIMES).map { async(Dispatchers.IO) { consumeMessageWithConfirm(handler) } }.awaitAll()
            }
        }
    }

Transactional publishing and consuming

RabbitMQ and AMQP itself offer rather scarce support for transaction. When considering using transactions you should be aware that:

• a transaction could only span one channel and one queue;
• com.rabbitmq.client.Channel is not thread-safe;
• channel can be either in confirm mode or in transaction mode at a time;
• transactions cannot be nested into each other;

The library provides a convenient way to perform transactional publishing and receiving based on transaction extension function. This function commits a transaction upon normal execution of the block and rolls it back if a RuntimeException occurs. Exceptions are always propagated further. Coroutines are not used for publishing though, since there are no any asynchronous operations involved.

connection.txChannel {
    transaction {
        val message = createMessage(queue = oneTimeQueue, body = "Hello from tx")
        publish(message)
    }
}

RPC pattern

ConnectionFactory().apply { useNio() }.newConnection().use { conn ->
        conn.channel {
            logger.info { "Asking for greeting request..." }
            val response = withTimeoutOrNull(1000) {
                async(Dispatchers.IO) {
                    rpc {
                        val result = call(message)
                        logger.info { "Got a message: ${String(result.body)}" }
                        result
                    }
                }.await()
            }
            if (response == null) {
                logger.info { "Timeout is exeeded" }
            } else {
                logger.info { "Result: ${String(response.body)}" }
            }
        }
    }
