RabbitMQ Support

Asynchronous PHP RabbitMQ

Installation

composer require ecotone/amqp

Module Powered By

Enqueue solid and powerful abstraction over asynchronous queues.

Configuration

In order to use AMQP Support we need to add ConnectionFactory to our Dependency Container.

# config/services.yaml
# You need to have RabbitMQ instance running on your localhost, or change DSN
    Enqueue\AmqpExt\AmqpConnectionFactory:
        class: Enqueue\AmqpExt\AmqpConnectionFactory
        arguments:
            - "amqp://guest:guest@localhost:5672//"

We register our AmqpConnection under the class name Enqueue\AmqpExt\AmqpConnectionFactory. This will help Ecotone resolve it automatically, without any additional configuration.

Message Channel

To create AMQP Backed Message Channel (RabbitMQ Channel), we need to create Service Context.

class MessagingConfiguration
{
    #[ServiceContext] 
    public function orderChannel()
    {
        return AmqpBackedMessageChannelBuilder::create("orders");
    }
}

Now orders channel will be available in our Messaging System.

Message Channels simplify to the maximum integration with Message Broker. From application perspective all we need to do, is to provide channel implementation. Ecotone will take care of whole publishing and consuming part.

Message Channel Configuration

AmqpBackedMessageChannelBuilder::create("orders")
    ->withAutoDeclare(false) // do not auto declare queue
    ->withDefaultTimeToLive(1000) // limit TTL of messages
    ->withDefaultDeliveryDelay(1000) // delay messages by default

Customize Queue Name

By default the queue name will follow channel name, which in above example will be "orders". However we can use "orders" as reference name in our Application, yet name queue differently:

#[ServiceContext] 
public function orderChannel()
{
    return AmqpBackedMessageChannelBuilder::create(
        channelName: "orders",
        queueName: "crm_orders"
    );
}

AMQP Distributed Bus

AMQP Distributed Bus is described in more details under Distributed Bus section.

Message Publisher

If you want to publish Message directly to Exchange, you may use of Publisher.

class AMQPConfiguration
{
    #[ServiceContext] 
    public function registerAmqpConfig()
    {
        return 
            AmqpMessagePublisherConfiguration::create(
                MessagePublisher::class, // 1
                "delivery", // 2
                "application/json" // 3
            );
    }
}
  1. Reference name - Name under which it will be available in Dependency Container.

  2. Exchange name - Name of exchange where Message should be published

  3. Default Conversion [Optional] - Default type, payload will be converted to.

Publisher Configuration

AmqpMessagePublisherConfiguration::create(
    MessagePublisher::class,
    "delivery"
)
    ->withDefaultPersistentDelivery(true) // 1
    ->withDefaultRoutingKey("someKey") // 2
    ->withRoutingKeyFromHeader("routingKey") // 3
    ->withHeaderMapper("application.*") // 4
  1. withDefaultPersistentDelivery - should AMQP messages be persistent.

  2. withDefaultRoutingKey - default routing key added to AMQP message

  3. withRoutingKeyFromHeader - should routing key be retrieved from header with name

  4. withHeaderMapper - On default headers are not send with AMQP message. You map provide mapping for headers that should be mapped to AMQP Message

Message Consumer

We can bind given method as Message Consumer

#[MessageConsumer('orders_consumer')] // name of endpoint id
public function handle(string $payload): void
{
    // do something
}

To connect consumer directly to a AMQP Queue, we need to provide Ecotone with information, how the Queue is configured.

class AmqpConfiguration
{
    #[ServiceContext] 
    public function registerAmqpConfig(): array
    {
        return [
            AmqpQueue::createWith("orders"), // 1
            AmqpExchange::createDirectExchange("system"), // 2
            AmqpBinding::createFromNames("system", "orders", "placeOrder"), // 3
            AmqpMessageConsumerConfiguration::create("orders_consumer", "orders") // 4
        ];
    }
}
  1. AmqpQueue::createWith(string $name) - Registers Queue with specific name

  2. AmqpExchange::create*(string $name) - Registers of given type with specific name

  3. AmqpBinding::createFromName(string $exchangeName, string $queueName, string $routingKey)- Registering binding between exchange and queue

  4. Provides Consumer that will be registered at given name "orders_consumer" and will be polling "orders" queue

Available Exchange configurations

$amqpExchange = AmqpExchange::createDirectExchange
$amqpExchange = AmqpExchange::createFanoutExchange
$amqpExchange = AmqpExchange::createTopicExchange
$amqpExchange = AmqpExchange::createHeadersExchange

$amqpExchange = $amqpExchange
    ->withDurability(true) // exchanges survive broker restart
    ->withAutoDeletion() // exchange is deleted when last queue is unbound from it

Available Queue configurations

$amqpQueue = AmqpQueue::createDirectExchange
                ->withDurability(true) // the queue will survive a broker restart
                ->withExclusivity() // used by only one connection and the queue will be deleted when that connection closes
                ->withAutoDeletion() // queue that has had at least one consumer is deleted when last consumer unsubscribes
                ->withDeadLetterExchangeTarget($amqpExchange);

Publisher Acknowledgments

By default Ecotone will aim for resiliency to avoid Message being lost. This protects from lost heartbeats issue (AMQP bug which make message vanish without exceptions) and ensures that Message are considered delivered only when Broker has acknowledged storing them on the Broker side (Using Publisher confirms). However Publisher confirms comes with time cost, as it makes publishing process awaits for acknowledge from RabbitMQ. Therefore if delivery guarantee is not an issue, and we can accept risk of losing messages we can consider disable it to speed up publishing time:

#[ServiceContext]
public function amqpChannel() : array
{
    return [
        AmqpBackedMessageChannelBuilder::create("orders")
            ->withPublisherAcknowledgments(false)
    ];
}

Publisher acknowledgments can be combined with Outbox to ensure high message guarantee.

Publisher Transactions

Ecotone AMQP comes with support for RabbitMQ Transaction for published messages. This means that, if you send more than one message at time, it will be commited together.

If you want to enable/disable for all Asynchronous Endpoints or specific for Command Bus. You may use of ServiceContext.

By default RabbitMQ transactions are disabled, as you may ensure consistency using Resilient Sending.

class ChannelConfiguration
{
    #[ServiceContext]
    public function registerTransactions() : array
    {
        return [
            AmqpConfiguration::createWithDefaults()
                ->withTransactionOnAsynchronousEndpoints(false)
                ->withTransactionOnCommandBus(false)
        ];
    }

}

To enable transactions on specific endpoint if default is disabled, mark consumer with Ecotone\Amqp\AmqpTransaction\AmqpTransaction annotation.

    #[AmqpTransaction)]
    #[MessageConsumer("consumer")]
    public function execute(string $message) : void
    {
        // do something with Message
    }
