Content

When sending a message, the message body is sent separately as content. It is sent to a class, and usually is sent after a method that uses it, such as basic.publish.

To send content to the server, simply call content.

handle.content(channel, className, properties, content, callback(error))

• channel The channel to send the content on.
• className The name of the class to send the content to.
• properties An object containing properties relating to the content. See the xml spec for a list of every property.
• content A string or buffer containing the message body.
• callback(error) Called once the content has been written to the socket.

When content is received from the server, the handle emits an event. An optional channel number may be added to the front of the string.

Event: 'content'

Event: '<channel>:content'

• channel The channel the content was received on.
• className The name of the class that the content was sent to.
• properties An object containing properties relating to the content.
• content A buffer containing the message body.

Example:

const message = JSON.stringify({
	key : 'value'
});
handle.basic.publish(1, 'exchange-name', 'routing-key', true, false, function(publishError) {
	if(publishError){
		console.log(publishError);
	}
	handle.content(1, 'basic', {
		'content-type' : 'application/json'
	}, message, function(contentError){
		if(contentError){
			console.log(contentError);
		}
	});
});

handle.on('1:basic.deliver', function(channel, method, data) {
	console.log('incoming message');
	console.log(data);
	handle.once('1:content', function(channel, className, properties, content) {
		console.log('got a message:');
		console.log(content.toString());
		console.log('with properties:');
		console.log(properties);
		handle.basic.ack(1, data['delivery-tag'], function(ackError){
			if(ackError){
				console.log(ackError);
			}
		});
	});
});
