RabbitMQ Queue driver for Laravel

The connection abstracts the socket connection, and takes care of protocol version negotiation and authentication and so on for us. Here we connect to a RabbitMQ node on the local machine - hence the localhost. If we wanted to connect to a node on a different machine or to a host hosting a proxy recommended for PHP clients, we'd simply specify its hostname or IP address here.

            'queue'  => env('RABBITMQ_QUEUE', 'default'),

            'hosts' => [
                'host'      => env('RABBITMQ_HOST', '127.0.0.1'),
                'port'      => env('RABBITMQ_PORT', 5672),
                'user'      => env('RABBITMQ_USER', 'guest'),
                'password'  => env('RABBITMQ_PASSWORD', 'guest'),
                'vhost'     => env('RABBITMQ_VHOST', '/'),
                'lazy'      => env('RABBITMQ_LAZY_CONNECTION', true),
                'keepalive' => env('RABBITMQ_KEEPALIVE_CONNECTION', false),
                'heartbeat' => env('RABBITMQ_HEARTBEAT_CONNECTION', 0),
            ],

            'options' => [
                'ssl_options' => [
                    'cafile'      => env('RABBITMQ_SSL_CAFILE', null),
                    'local_cert'  => env('RABBITMQ_SSL_LOCALCERT', null),
                    'local_key'   => env('RABBITMQ_SSL_LOCALKEY', null),
                    'verify_peer' => env('RABBITMQ_SSL_VERIFY_PEER', true),
                    'passphrase'  => env('RABBITMQ_SSL_PASSPHRASE', null),
                ],
                'queue'       => [
                    'job' => \iamfarhad\LaravelRabbitMQ\Jobs\RabbitMQJob::class,
                ],
            ],
        ]
    ]

Laravel Usage

Once you completed the configuration you can use Laravel Queue API. If you used other queue drivers you do not need to change anything else. If you do not know how to use Queue API, please refer to the official Laravel documentation: http://laravel.com/docs/queues

Lumen Usage

For Lumen usage the service provider should be registered manually as follows in bootstrap/app.php:

$app->register(iamfarhad\LaravelRabbitMQ\LaravelRabbitQueueServiceProvider::class);

Consuming Messages

There are two ways of consuming messages.

1. queue:work command which is Laravel's built-in command. This command utilizes basic_get.

2. rabbitmq:consume command which is provided by this package. This command utilizes basic_consume and is more performant than basic_get by ~3x.

  php artisan rabbitmq:consume --queue=customQueue

You can create jobs with custom queue same as below

class TestJob implements ShouldQueue
{
    use Dispatchable;
    use InteractsWithQueue;
    use Queueable;
    use SerializesModels;

    public function __construct()
    {
        $this->onQueue('customQueue');
    }

    public function handle()
    {
        return true;
    }
}

Queues and Exchanges will be created automatically
