NAME

POE::Component::Client::AMQP - Asynchronous AMQP client implementation in POE

SYNOPSIS

use POE::Component::Client::AMQP;

Net::AMQP::Protocol->load_xml_spec('amqp0-8.xml');

my $amq = Component::Client::AMQP->create(
    RemoteAddress => 'mq.domain.tld',
);

$amq->channel(1)->queue('frank')->subscribe(sub {
    my ($payload, $meta) = @_;

    my $reply_to = $meta->{header_frame}->reply_to;

    $amq->channel(1)->queue($reply_to)->publish("Message received");
});

$amq->run();

DESCRIPTION

This module implements the Advanced Message Queue Protocol (AMQP) TCP/IP client. It's goal is to provide users with a quick and easy way of using AMQP while at the same time exposing the advanced functionality of the protocol if needed.

The (de)serialization and representation logic is handled by Net::AMQP, which needs to be setup (via load_xml_spec()) prior to this client software running. Please see the docs there for further information on this.

USAGE

create (...)

    Create a new AMQP client. Arguments to this method:

    RemoteAddress (default: 127.0.0.1)

    Connect to this host

    RemotePort (default: 5672)
    Username (default: guest)
    Password (default: guest)
    VirtualHost (default: /)
    Logger (default: simple screen logger)

    Provide an object which implements 'debug', 'info' and 'error' logging methods (such as Log::Log4perl).

    Debug

    This module provides extensive debugging options. These are specified as a hash as follows:

    logic (boolean)

    Display decisions the code is making

    frame_input (boolean)
    frame_output (boolean)

    Use the frame_dumper code to display frames that come in from or out to the server.

    frame_dumper (coderef)

    A coderef which, given a Net::AMQP::Frame object, will return a string representation of it, prefixed with "\n".

    raw_input (boolean)
    raw_output (boolean)

    Use the raw_dumper code to display raw data that comes in from or out to the server.

    raw_dumper (coderef)

    A coderef which, given a raw string, will return a byte representation of it, prefixed with "\n".

    Alias (default: amqp_client)

    The POE session alias of the main client session

    AliasTCP (default: tcp_client)

    The POE session alias of the TCP client

    Callbacks (default: {})

    Provide callbacks. At the moment, 'Startup' is the only recognized callback.

    is_testing

    Set to '1' to avoid creating POE::Sessions (mainly useful in t/ scripts)

    Returns a class object.

CLASS METHODS

do_when_startup (...)

    Pass a subref that should be executed after the client has connected and authenticated with the remote AMQP server. If the client is already connected and authenticated, the subref will be called immediately. Think: deferred.

channel ($id)

run ()

    Shortcut to calling $poe_kernel->run

stop ()

    Shortcut to calling the POE state 'disconnect'

POE STATES

The following are states you can post to to interact with the client. Use the alias defined in the create() call above.

server_disconnect

    Send a Connection.Close request

server_send (@output)

    Pass one or more Net::AMQP::Frame objects. For short hand, you may pass Net::AMQP::Protocol::Base objects, which will be automatically wrapped in the appropriate frame type, with channel 0. These frames will be written to the server. In the case of Net::AMQP::Frame::Method objects which are calling a synchronous method, the client will handle them one at a time, waiting until a synchronous method returns properly before sending further synchronous frames. This happens automatically.
