A SpidyMQ server for all your (simple) message queue needs. Currently this server utilizes an in-memory message queue. Users can create two kinds of channels. The first is a round-robin channel in which messages are distributed to subscribers in an individual, even fashion. This means subscribers share in the work rather then each getting the same messages. The second kind of channel is a broadcast channel. Subscribers of this channel get every message that comes through. Durable messages are not currently supported so if a request fails or the client disconnects for a short amount of time, they won't receive any messages that were missed.
To get started, simply install the dependencies.
npm install
Almost ready, I promise, let's get your environment setup. There are a couple ways to manage your environment. You can
use Node Foreman .env files which get autoloaded when the application is run, or you can create your own
config/default.js configuration file. Config looks at NODE_ENV and then loads the corresponding config file. When
NODE_ENV is not present, default is used. Checkout [config/default.example.js] for an example of what configuration
values are needed.
Starting the web application is quick and simple. You can use Node Foreman, npm start (which uses Node Foreman), or
just start index.js yourself. You will need to include the --harmony flag since this web application is using plenty
of neat and shiny ES6 features.
nf start
npm start
node --harmony index.js
