This app is an example of how you can consume a Cloud Foundry service within an app. It can also be used to verify a RabbitMQ service installation.
It allows you to push message into, and pull messages out of, RabbitMQ message queues, via a REST endpoint.
Install the app by pushing it to your Cloud Foundry and binding with the Pivotal RabbitMQ service
Example:
$ git clone [email protected]:starkandwayne/cf-rabbitmq-example-app.git
$ cd rabbitmq-example-app
$ cf push rabbitmq-example-app --no-start
$ cf create-service p-rabbitmq development rabbitmq
$ cf bind-service rabbitmq-example-app rabbitmq
Verifies that the application is up and responding, and can connect to the RabbitMQ backend service. Example:
$ export APP=rabbitmq-example-app.my-cloud-foundry.com
$ curl $APP/ping
OK
Define a queue, passed in the 'name' field. Example:
$ curl -X POST $APP/queues -d 'name=a-test-queue'
SUCCESS
Prints the queues that have been defined so far. Example:
$ curl $APP/queues
a-test-queue
Pushes a message, passed in the 'data' field, into the named message queue. Example:
$ curl -X PUT $APP/queue/a-test-queue -d 'data=Hello'
SUCCESS
Pulls a single message from the named message queue. Example:
$ curl -X GET $APP/queue/a-test-queue
Hello
