RabbitMQ bindings for Lua
The amqp.lua package adds support for sending messages to RabbitMQ via LuaJIT FFI. This allows a Lua programmer to communicate with other programs using enterprise grade messaging infrasturcture. The module amqp.lua makes use of LuaJIT's awesome foreign function interface (FFI) to invoke the librabbitmq's functions directly. It exposes a simplified interface to librabbitmq natively, but also preserves the ability of an intrepid programmer to use the full depth of the upstream library.
- librabbitmq - https://github.com/alanxz/rabbitmq-c.git
- luajit 2.0.1 - http://luajit.org/download.html
Currently both a recent copy of librabbitmq (head was used for development) and a copy of LuaJIT are required for use. These have only been tested on Mac OS X at the time of writing, but should soon be verified on Linux as well.
local amqp = require('amqp')
amqp.connect('amqp://guest:[email protected]:5672/')
amqp.send("test","test","this is a test")
amqp.disconnect()This sample code will connect to a RabbitMQ server and send a message "this is a test" to the exchange "test" with a routing key of "test". It connects with the default credential for most RabbitMQ servers, but you could easily specify your own amqp:// url to connect to any server. A sample application send.lua, exists to demonstrate how to use it as a command line tool to send messages to an exchange and a routing key.
