snotes20-realtime

Handles all realtime connections in the snotes20-webapp. The communication with the main app is done via AMQP.

Setup

Copy config.json.example to config.json, adapt values as necessary, run using your favorite node deamon tool or simply by executing node main.js.

Structure

• main.js, contains initialization code and loading of handlers
• rbbit.js, contains all directly amqp-related code
• handlers, a directory containing the handlers as individual files

Handlers

For each exchange in rabbitmq one or more handlers can be defined. They are files in ./handlers/ (or any other dir, if set in config). All handlers in the directory are loaded automatically.

A basic handler implementation:

exports.exchange = 'EXCHANGE_NAME';
exports.handle = function (msg, content) {
  // msg      is the full message from amqplib
  // content  is the decoded and parsed JSON-body of the message as javascript-object
};
