open

  $channel->on(open => sub {
    my ($channel) = @_;
    ...
  });

Emitted when channel receives Open-Ok.

close

  $channel->on(close=> sub {
    my ($channel, $frame) = @_;
    ...
  });

Emitted when channel gets closed, "<$frame"> contains close reason.

id

  my $id = $channel->id;
  $channel->id(20810);

If not set, Mojo::RabbitMQ::Client sets it to next free number when channel is opened.

is_open

  $channel->is_open ? "Channel is open" : "Channel is closed";

is_active

  $channel->is_active ? "Channel is active" : "Channel is not active";

This can be modified on reception of Channel-Flow.

client

  my $client = $channel->client;
  $channel->client($client);

close

  $channel->close;

Cancels all consumers and closes channel afterwards.

declare_exchange

  my $exchange = $channel->declare_exchange(
    exchange => 'mojo',
    type => 'fanout',
    durable => 1,
    ...
  )->deliver;

Verify exchange exists, create if needed.

This method creates an exchange if it does not already exist, and if the exchange exists, verifies that it is of the correct and expected class.

Following arguments are accepted:

exchange

Unique exchange name

type

Each exchange belongs to one of a set of exchange types implemented by the server. The exchange types define the functionality of the exchange - i.e. how messages are routed through it. It is not valid or meaningful to attempt to change the type of an existing exchange.

passive

If set, the server will reply with Declare-Ok if the exchange already exists with the same name, and raise an error if not. The client can use this to check whether an exchange exists without modifying the server state. When set, all other method fields except name and no-wait are ignored. A declare with both passive and no-wait has no effect. Arguments are compared for semantic equivalence.

durable

If set when creating a new exchange, the exchange will be marked as durable. Durable exchanges remain active when a server restarts. Non-durable exchanges (transient exchanges) are purged if/when a server restarts.

auto_delete

If set, the exchange is deleted when all queues have finished using it.

internal

If set, the exchange may not be used directly by publishers, but only when bound to other exchanges. Internal exchanges are used to construct wiring that is not visible to applications.

declare_exchange_p

Same as declare_exchange but auto-delivers method and returns a Mojo::Promise object.

  $channel->declare_exchange_p(
    exchange => 'mojo',
    type => 'fanout',
    durable => 1,
    ...
  )->then(sub {
    say "Exchange declared...";
  })->catch(sub {
    my $err = shift;
    warn "Exchange declaration error: $err";
  })->wait;

delete_exchange

  $channel->delete_exchange(exchange => 'mojo')->deliver;

Delete an exchange.

This method deletes an exchange. When an exchange is deleted all queue bindings on the exchange are cancelled.

Following arguments are accepted:

exchange

Exchange name.

if_unused

If set, the server will only delete the exchange if it has no queue bindings. If the exchange has queue bindings the server does not delete it but raises a channel exception instead.

delete_exchange_p

Same as delete_exchange but auto-delivers method and returns a Mojo::Promise object.

  $channel->delete_exchange_p(
    exchange => 'mojo'
  )->then(sub {
    say "Exchange deleted...";
  })->catch(sub {
    my $err = shift;
    warn "Exchange removal error: $err";
  })->wait;

declare_queue

  my $queue = $channel->declare_queue(queue => 'mq', durable => 1)->deliver

Declare queue, create if needed.

This method creates or checks a queue. When creating a new queue the client can specify various properties that control the durability of the queue and its contents, and the level of sharing for the queue.

Following arguments are accepted:

queue

The queue name MAY be empty, in which case the server MUST create a new queue with a unique generated name and return this to the client in the Declare-Ok method.

passive

If set, the server will reply with Declare-Ok if the queue already exists with the same name, and raise an error if not. The client can use this to check whether a queue exists without modifying the server state. When set, all other method fields except name and no-wait are ignored. A declare with both passive and no-wait has no effect. Arguments are compared for semantic equivalence.

durable

If set when creating a new queue, the queue will be marked as durable. Durable queues remain active when a server restarts. Non-durable queues (transient queues) are purged if/when a server restarts. Note that durable queues do not necessarily hold persistent messages, although it does not make sense to send persistent messages to a transient queue.

exclusive

Exclusive queues may only be accessed by the current connection, and are deleted when that connection closes. Passive declaration of an exclusive queue by other connections are not allowed.

auto_delete

If set, the queue is deleted when all consumers have finished using it. The last consumer can be cancelled either explicitly or because its channel is closed. If there was no consumer ever on the queue, it won't be deleted. Applications can explicitly delete auto-delete queues using the Delete method as normal.

declare_queue_p

Same as declare_queue but auto-delivers method and returns a Mojo::Promise object.

  $channel->declare_queue_p(
    queue => 'mq',
    durable => 1
  )->then(sub {
    say "Queue declared...";
  })->catch(sub {
    my $err = shift;
    warn "Queue declaration error: $err";
  })->wait;

bind_queue

  $channel->bind_queue(
    exchange => 'mojo',
    queue => 'mq',
    routing_key => ''
  )->deliver;

Bind queue to an exchange.

This method binds a queue to an exchange. Until a queue is bound it will not receive any messages. In a classic messaging model, store-and-forward queues are bound to a direct exchange and subscription queues are bound to a topic exchange.

Following arguments are accepted:

queue

Specifies the name of the queue to bind.

exchange

Name of the exchange to bind to.

routing_key

Specifies the routing key for the binding. The routing key is used for routing messages depending on the exchange configuration. Not all exchanges use a routing key - refer to the specific exchange documentation. If the queue name is empty, the server uses the last queue declared on the channel. If the routing key is also empty, the server uses this queue name for the routing key as well. If the queue name is provided but the routing key is empty, the server does the binding with that empty routing key. The meaning of empty routing keys depends on the exchange implementation.

bind_queue_p

Same as bind_queue but auto-delivers method and returns a Mojo::Promise object.

  $channel->bind_queue_p(
    exchange => 'mojo',
    queue => 'mq',
    routing_key => ''
  )->then(sub {
    say "Queue bound...";
  })->catch(sub {
    my $err = shift;
    warn "Queue binding error: $err";
  })->wait;

unbind_queue

  $channel->unbind_queue(
    exchange => 'mojo',
    queue => 'mq',
    routing_key => ''
  )->deliver;

Unbind a queue from an exchange.

This method unbinds a queue from an exchange.

Following arguments are accepted:

queue

Specifies the name of the queue to unbind.

exchange

The name of the exchange to unbind from.

routing_key

Specifies the routing key of the binding to unbind.

unbind_queue_p

Same as unbind_queue but auto-delivers method and returns a Mojo::Promise object.

  $channel->unbind_queue_p(
    exchange => 'mojo',
    queue => 'mq',
    routing_key => ''
  )->then(sub {
    say "Queue unbound...";
  })->catch(sub {
    my $err = shift;
    warn "Queue unbinding error: $err";
  })->wait;

purge_queue

  $channel->purge_queue(queue => 'mq')->deliver;

Purge a queue.

This method removes all messages from a queue which are not awaiting acknowledgment.

Following arguments are accepted:

queue

Specifies the name of the queue to purge.

purge_queue_p

Same as purge_queue but auto-delivers method and returns a Mojo::Promise object.

  $channel->purge_queue_p(
    queue => 'mq',
  )->then(sub {
    say "Queue purged...";
  })->catch(sub {
    my $err = shift;
    warn "Queue purging error: $err";
  })->wait;

delete_queue

  $channel->delete_queue(queue => 'mq', if_empty => 1)->deliver;

Delete a queue.

This method deletes a queue. When a queue is deleted any pending messages are sent to a dead-letter queue if this is defined in the server configuration, and all consumers on the queue are cancelled.

Following arguments are accepted:

queue

Specifies the name of the queue to delete.

if_unused

If set, the server will only delete the queue if it has no consumers. If the queue has consumers the server does does not delete it but raises a channel exception instead.

if_empty

If set, the server will only delete the queue if it has no messages.

delete_queue_p

Same as delete_queue but auto-delivers method and returns a Mojo::Promise object.

  $channel->delete_queue_p(
    queue => 'mq',
    if_empty => 1
  )->then(sub {
    say "Queue removed...";
  })->catch(sub {
    my $err = shift;
    warn "Queue removal error: $err";
  })->wait;

publish

  my $message = $channel->publish(
    exchange    => 'mojo',
    routing_key => 'mq',
    body        => 'simple text body',
  );
  $message->deliver();

Publish a message.

This method publishes a message to a specific exchange. The message will be routed to queues as defined by the exchange configuration and distributed to any active consumers when the transaction, if any, is committed.

Following arguments are accepted:

exchange

Specifies the name of the exchange to publish to. The exchange name can be empty, meaning the default exchange. If the exchange name is specified, and that exchange does not exist, the server will raise a channel exception.

routing_key

Specifies the routing key for the message. The routing key is used for routing messages depending on the exchange configuration.

mandatory

This flag tells the server how to react if the message cannot be routed to a queue. If this flag is set, the server will return an unroutable message with a Return method. If this flag is zero, the server silently drops the message.

All rejections are emitted as "reject" event.

  $message->on(reject => sub {
    my $message = shift;
    my $frame = shift;
    my $method_frame = $frame->method_frame;
    my $reply_code = $method_frame->reply_code;
    my $reply_text = $method_frame->reply_text;
  });
    

immediate

This flag tells the server how to react if the message cannot be routed to a queue consumer immediately. If this flag is set, the server will return an undeliverable message with a Return method. If this flag is zero, the server will queue the message, but with no guarantee that it will ever be consumed.

As said above, all rejections are emitted as "reject" event.

  $message->on(reject => sub { ... });
    

consume

  my $consumer = $channel->consume(queue => 'mq');
  $consumer->on(message => sub { ... });
  $consumer->deliver;

This method asks the server to start a "consumer", which is a transient request for messages from a specific queue. Consumers last as long as the channel they were declared on, or until the client cancels them.

Following arguments are accepted:

queue

Specifies the name of the queue to consume from.

consumer_tag

Specifies the identifier for the consumer. The consumer tag is local to a channel, so two clients can use the same consumer tags. If this field is empty the server will generate a unique tag.

  $consumer->on(success => sub {
    my $consumer = shift;
    my $frame = shift;
    my $consumer_tag = $frame->method_frame->consumer_tag;
  });
    

no_local (not implemented in RabbitMQ!)

If the no-local field is set the server will not send messages to the connection that published them.

See RabbitMQ Compatibility and Conformance <https://www.rabbitmq.com/specification.html>

no_ack

If this field is set the server does not expect acknowledgements for messages. That is, when a message is delivered to the client the server assumes the delivery will succeed and immediately dequeues it. This functionality may increase performance but at the cost of reliability. Messages can get lost if a client dies before they are delivered to the application.

exclusive

Request exclusive consumer access, meaning only this consumer can access the queue.

cancel

  $channel->cancel(consumer_tag => 'amq.ctag....')->deliver;

End a queue consumer.

This method cancels a consumer. This does not affect already delivered messages, but it does mean the server will not send any more messages for that consumer. The client may receive an arbitrary number of messages in between sending the cancel method and receiving the cancel-ok reply.

Following arguments are accepted:

consumer_tag

Holds the consumer tag specified by the client or provided by the server.

get

  my $get = $channel->get(queue => 'mq')
  $get->deliver;

Direct access to a queue.

This method provides a direct access to the messages in a queue using a synchronous dialogue that is designed for specific types of application where synchronous functionality is more important than performance.

This is simple event emitter to which you have to subscribe. It can emit:

message

Provide client with a message.

This method delivers a message to the client following a get method. A message delivered by 'get-ok' must be acknowledged unless the no-ack option was set in the get method.

You can access all get-ok reply parameters as below:

  $get->on(message => sub {
    my $get = shift;
    my $get_ok = shift;
    my $message = shift;
    say "Still got: " . $get_ok->method_frame->message_count;
  });
    

empty

Indicate no messages available.

This method tells the client that the queue has no messages available for the client.

Following arguments are accepted:

queue

Specifies the name of the queue to get a message from.

no_ack

If this field is set the server does not expect acknowledgements for messages. That is, when a message is delivered to the client the server assumes the delivery will succeed and immediately dequeues it. This functionality may increase performance but at the cost of reliability. Messages can get lost if a client dies before they are delivered to the application.

ack

  $channel->ack(delivery_tag => 1);

Acknowledge one or more messages.

When sent by the client, this method acknowledges one or more messages delivered via the Deliver or Get-Ok methods. When sent by server, this method acknowledges one or more messages published with the Publish method on a channel in confirm mode. The acknowledgement can be for a single message or a set of messages up to and including a specific message.

Following arguments are accepted:

delivery_tag

Server assigned delivery tag that was received with a message.

multiple

If set to 1, the delivery tag is treated as "up to and including", so that multiple messages can be acknowledged with a single method. If set to zero, the delivery tag refers to a single message. If the multiple field is 1, and the delivery tag is zero, this indicates acknowledgement of all outstanding messages.

qos

  $channel->qos(prefetch_count => 1)->deliver;

Sets specified Quality of Service to channel, or entire connection. Accepts following arguments:

prefetch_size

Prefetch window size in octets.

prefetch_count

Prefetch window in complete messages.

global

If set all settings will be applied connection wide.

recover

  $channel->recover(requeue => 0)->deliver;

Redeliver unacknowledged messages.

This method asks the server to redeliver all unacknowledged messages on a specified channel. Zero or more messages may be redelivered.

requeue

If this field is zero, the message will be redelivered to the original recipient. If this bit is 1, the server will attempt to requeue the message, potentially then delivering it to an alternative subscriber.

reject

  $channel->reject(delivery_tag => 1, requeue => 0)->deliver;

Reject an incoming message.

This method allows a client to reject a message. It can be used to interrupt and cancel large incoming messages, or return untreatable messages to their original queue.

Following arguments are accepted:

delivery_tag

Server assigned delivery tag that was received with a message.

requeue

If requeue is true, the server will attempt to requeue the message. If requeue is false or the requeue attempt fails the messages are discarded or dead-lettered.

select_tx

Work with transactions.

The Tx class allows publish and ack operations to be batched into atomic units of work. The intention is that all publish and ack requests issued within a transaction will complete successfully or none of them will. Servers SHOULD implement atomic transactions at least where all publish or ack requests affect a single queue. Transactions that cover multiple queues may be non-atomic, given that queues can be created and destroyed asynchronously, and such events do not form part of any transaction. Further, the behaviour of transactions with respect to the immediate and mandatory flags on Basic.Publish methods is not defined.

  $channel->select_tx()->deliver;

Select standard transaction mode.

This method sets the channel to use standard transactions. The client must use this method at least once on a channel before using the Commit or Rollback methods.

commit_tx

  $channel->commit_tx()->deliver;

Commit the current transaction.

This method commits all message publications and acknowledgments performed in the current transaction. A new transaction starts immediately after a commit.

rollback_tx

  $channel->rollback_tx()->deliver;

Abandon the current transaction.

This method abandons all message publications and acknowledgments performed in the current transaction. A new transaction starts immediately after a rollback. Note that unacked messages will not be automatically redelivered by rollback; if that is required an explicit recover call should be issued.
