DESCRIPTION:

Bunny is an AMQP (Advanced Message Queuing Protocol) client, written in Ruby, that is intended to allow you to interact with AMQP-compliant message brokers/servers such as RabbitMQ in a synchronous fashion.

It is based on a great deal of useful code from amqp by Aman Gupta and Carrot by Amos Elliston.

You can use Bunny to -

• Create and delete exchanges
• Create and delete queues
• Publish and consume messages

Bunny is known to work with RabbitMQ versions 1.5.4 and above with version 0-8 of the AMQP specification.

INSTALL:

Rubyforge: gem install bunny

Gemcutter: gem install bunny

GitHub: Current gem is not available.

QUICK START:

   require 'bunny'

   b = Bunny.new(:logging => true)

   # start a communication session with the amqp server
   b.start

   # declare a queue
   q = b.queue('test1')

   # publish a message to the queue
   q.publish('Hello everybody!')

   # get message from the queue
   msg = q.pop[:payload]

   puts 'This is the message: ' + msg + "\n\n"

   # close the connection
   b.stop

EVEN QUICKER START

   require 'bunny'

   # Create a direct queue named 'my_testq'
   Bunny.run { |c| c.queue('my_testq') }
