Simple Elixir wrapper for the Erlang RabbitMQ client.
The API is based on Langohr, a Clojure client for RabbitMQ.
Add AMQP as a dependency in your mix.exs
file.
def deps do
[{:amqp, "0.0.6"}]
end
You should also update your application list to include :amqp
:
def application do
[applications: [:amqp]]
end
After you are done, run mix deps.get
in your shell to fetch and compile AMQP. Start an interactive Elixir shell with iex -S mix
.
