NAME

Net::AMQP::ConnectionMgr - Manages a AMQP connection

SYNOPSIS

my $cmgr = Net::AMQP::ConnectionMgr->new('localhost', { });
my $channel = $cmgr->declare_channel
  (sub {
      my ($rmq, $channel) = @_;
      my %exchange_options =
        ( exchange_type => 'topic',
          passive       => 0,
          durable       => 1,
          auto_delete   => 0,
        );
      $rmq->exchange_declare
        ($channel, $exchange_name,
         \%exchange_options, {});
  });
$cmgr->with_connection_do
  (sub {
     my $rmq = shift;
     $rmq->publish($channel, $routing_key, $body,
                   \%message_options,
                   \%message_props)
   });

DESCRIPTION

Usage of rabbitmq has two common expectations from the application developer:

• The connection is subject to being closed from the server at any point, and the application should handle that disconnect gracefully.

• The applications should always declare the resources they use for every connection.

Complying to that expectation using only Net::AMQP::RabbitMQ is very error-prone. This modules provides a simple way of handling it.

METHODS

new($hostname, $options, $conn_class = Net::AMQP::RabbitMQ)

Initialize the object with the options. Does not necessarily start the connection right away, but will transparently connect when needed. The arguments to new are the same arguments for Net::AMQP::RabbitMQ->connect.

The last argument is to allow you to dependency-inject a different implementation for testing purposes or for using an alternative implmentation.

with_connection_do($code, $retry = 1)

This will wrap the given coderef and execute it with the connection as the first argument. This will also run the code within an eval and catch rabbitmq errors and will automatically re-connect and re-execute the code if the code dies.

The code, however, will only try that as many times as $retry_count (which defaults to 1).

Note: This function doesn't pass any extra arguments. The point of it is that you should use a closure to access any other data that you need.

declare_channel($init_code)

Returns a new channel number in the rabbitmq connection.

It will call channel_open for you.

The argument is a code ref to additional setup that is necessary for this channel, such as "consume" requests.

If the connection is open, the init_code will be executed right away. Otherwise it will be deferred to when the connection is actually established.

The init_code ref will be called again in case there is a re-connect.

The arguments to the coderef will be the connection and the channel number.

declare_resource($init_code)

Adds a resource declaration to this connection.

If the connection is open, the init_code will be executed right away. Otherwise it will be deferred to when the connection is actually established.

The init_code ref will be called again in case there is a re-connect.

The arguments to the coderef will be the connection and the channel number.
