Environment Variables

Example usage

Consumer

Define the following in a config.yaml file.

rabbitmq:
  host: [localhost]
  port: 5672
  username: guest
  password: guest
  heartbeat: 2
  exchange: 'test_exchange' # You can also define an exchange here if it is used by multiple consumers.
consumer:
  name: test.consumer
  queue: test
  auto_acknowledge: false
  concurrency: 2
  create_on_connect: true
  exchange: test_events_exchange
  exchange_type: headers
  exchange_bind_arguments:
  db: test_db
  coll: test_coll
  x-match: any # default in rabbitMQ is all
publisher:
  queue: test
  create_on_connect: true

Add the following to your main.py file.

from klein_config.config import EnvironmentAwareConfig
from klein_queue.rabbitmq.consumer import Consumer

config = EnvironmentAwareConfig()       # Read from file specified with `--config`
def handler_fn(message, **kwargs):      # handler_fn receives messages from the queue.
    print(message)
consumer = Consumer(config, "consumer", handler_fn)
consumer.start()

Run the following command to start the consumer.

$ python main.py --config config.yaml

Publisher

Using the same config as the consumer, you can create a publisher. Add the following to a python file and run it. It will publish a message to the queue. If you have the consumer running it will print the message to the console.

from klein_config.config import EnvironmentAwareConfig
from klein_queue.rabbitmq.publisher import Publisher

config = EnvironmentAwareConfig()       # Read from file specified with `--config`

publisher = Publisher(config, "publisher")
if __name__ == "__main__":
    publisher.start()                   # spawns the publisher thread
    publisher.add({'id': 'abc123'})     # sends a message

See the tests directory for more examples.
