bind

(bind channel destination source)(bind channel destination source {:keys [routing-key arguments], :or {routing-key ""}})
Binds an exchange to another exchange using exchange.bind AMQP method (a RabbitMQ-specific extension)

Options:
  :routing-key (default: ""): 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.
  :arguments (default: nil): A hash of optional arguments with the declaration. Headers exchange type uses these metadata attributes for routing matching. In addition, brokers may implement AMQP extensions using x-prefixed declaration arguments.

declare

(declare channel name type)(declare channel name type {:keys [durable auto-delete internal arguments], :or {durable false, auto-delete false, internal false}})
Declares an exchange using exchange.declare AMQP method.

By default declares non-autodeleted non-durable exchanges.

Core exchange types:

 - direct: 1:1 form of communication. Routing key defines how broker will direct message from producer to the consumer.
 - fanout: 1:N message delivery pattern. No routing keys are involved. You bind a queue to exchange and messages sent to that exchange are delivered to all bound queues.
 - topic: used for 1:n and n:m communication. In this case, routing key is defined as a pattern. For example "langohr.#" will match "langohr.samples" and "langohr.smamples" or "#.samples" will match "langor.samples" and "shmangor.samples".

Usage example:

    (lhe/declare channel exchange "direct" :auto-delete false, :durable true)

Options
  :auto-delete (default: false): 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.
  :durable (default: false): indicates wether the exchange is durable. Information about Durable Exchanges is persisted and restored after server restart. Non-durable (transient) exchanges do not survive the server restart.
  :internal (default: false): 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-passive

(declare-passive ch name)
Performs a passive exchange declaration (checks if an exchange exists)

delete

(delete channel name)(delete channel name if-unused)
Deletes an exchange using exchange.delete AMQP method. When an exchange is deleted all queue bindings on the exchange are cancelled.

Options:
  :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.

Usage example:

   (lhe/delete channel exchange true)

direct

(direct channel name & opts)
Shortcut method for declaring direct exchange by using exchange.declare AMQP method

fanout

(fanout channel name & opts)
Shortcut method for declaring fanout exchange by using exchange.declare AMQP method

topic

(topic channel name & opts)
Shortcut method for declaring topic exchange by using exchange.declare AMQP method

unbind

(unbind channel destination source)(unbind channel destination source routing-key)(unbind channel destination source routing-key arguments)
Unbinds an exchange from another exchange using exchange.unbind AMQP method (a RabbitMQ-specific extension)
