tokio = { version = "1.0", features = ["full"] }

serde = { version = "1.0", features = ["derive"] }

Basic Usage

use rust_rabbit::{RustRabbit, RabbitConfig};
use serde::{Serialize, Deserialize};

#[derive(Serialize, Deserialize)]
struct OrderMessage {
    order_id: String,
    amount: f64,
}

#[tokio::main]
async fn main() -> Result<(), Box<dyn std::error::Error>> {
    // Create configuration
    let config = RabbitConfig::builder()
        .connection_string("amqp://localhost:5672")
        .virtual_host("my-app")
        .retry(|retry| retry.max_retries(5).aggressive())
        .pool(|pool| pool.high_throughput())
        .build();
    
    // Create RustRabbit instance
    let rabbit = RustRabbit::new(config).await?;
    
    // Publish message
    let publisher = rabbit.publisher();
    let order = OrderMessage {
        order_id: "ORD-12345".to_string(),
        amount: 99.99,
    };
    
    publisher.publish_to_queue("orders", &order, None).await?;
    
    Ok(())
}

🔍 Advanced Features

Prometheus Metrics

Enable comprehensive metrics collection:

use rust_rabbit::{RustRabbit, RabbitConfig, metrics::RustRabbitMetrics};

#[tokio::main]
async fn main() -> Result<(), Box<dyn std::error::Error>> {
    // Enable metrics
    let metrics = RustRabbitMetrics::new()?;
    let config = RabbitConfig::default();
    
    // Create RustRabbit with metrics
    let rabbit = RustRabbit::with_metrics(config, metrics.clone()).await?;
    
    // Expose metrics via HTTP endpoint (using warp)
    // See examples/metrics_example.rs for complete implementation
    
    Ok(())
}

Message Batching

For high-throughput scenarios:

use rust_rabbit::{RustRabbit, batching::BatchConfig};

#[tokio::main]
async fn main() -> Result<(), Box<dyn std::error::Error>> {
    let rabbit = RustRabbit::new(RabbitConfig::default()).await?;
    
    // Create batcher with custom config
    let batch_config = BatchConfig::builder()
        .max_batch_size(100)
        .flush_interval(std::time::Duration::from_millis(500))
        .build();
    
    let batcher = rabbit.create_batcher(batch_config).await?;
    
    // Batch publish messages
    for i in 0..1000 {
        let message = OrderMessage {
            order_id: format!("ORD-{}", i),
            amount: 100.0 + i as f64,
        };
        batcher.queue_message("orders", &message).await?;
    }
    
    // Flush remaining messages
    batcher.flush().await?;
    
    Ok(())
}

Graceful Shutdown

Handle shutdown signals properly:

use rust_rabbit::{RustRabbit, shutdown::{ShutdownConfig, setup_signal_handling}};
use std::sync::Arc;

#[tokio::main]
async fn main() -> Result<(), Box<dyn std::error::Error>> {
    let mut rabbit = RustRabbit::new(RabbitConfig::default()).await?;
    
    // Enable graceful shutdown
    let shutdown_config = ShutdownConfig::builder()
        .pending_timeout(std::time::Duration::from_secs(30))
        .phase_delay(std::time::Duration::from_secs(1))
        .build();
    
    let shutdown_manager = rabbit.enable_shutdown_handling(shutdown_config);
    
    // Setup signal handling
    setup_signal_handling(shutdown_manager.clone()).await?;
    
    // Your application logic here
    // ...
    
    Ok(())
}

Circuit Breaker

    let config = RabbitConfig::builder()
        .connection_string("amqp://localhost:5672")
        .circuit_breaker(CircuitBreakerConfig {
            failure_threshold: 5,
            failure_window: Duration::from_secs(60),
            recovery_timeout: Duration::from_secs(30),
            success_threshold: 3,
            half_open_max_requests: 5,
        })

Health Monitoring

Monitor your RabbitMQ connections with built-in health checking:

use rust_rabbit::{
    health::{HealthCheckConfigExt, HealthChecker},
    config::HealthCheckConfig,
};

// Configure health checking
let mut config = RabbitConfig::default();
config.health_check = HealthCheckConfig::aggressive();

let rabbit = RustRabbit::new(config).await?;
let health_checker = rabbit.health_checker();

// Start monitoring
health_checker.start_monitoring().await?;

// Check health status
let is_healthy = health_checker.is_healthy().await;
let summary = health_checker.get_health_summary().await;

// Wait for healthy connection
health_checker.wait_for_healthy(Some(Duration::from_secs(30))).await?;

Connection Pooling

RustRabbit automatically manages connection pools with builder pattern:

use rust_rabbit::RabbitConfig;

let config = RabbitConfig::builder()
    .connection_string("amqp://localhost:5672")
    .retry(|retry| {
        retry
            .max_retries(3)
            .initial_delay(Duration::from_millis(1000))
            .max_delay(Duration::from_secs(60))
            .backoff_multiplier(2.0)
            .jitter(0.1)
    })
    .pool(|pool| {
        pool
            .max_connections(20)
            .min_connections(2)
            .idle_timeout(Duration::from_secs(300))
    })
    .build();

Message Options

Customize message publishing with builder pattern:

use rust_rabbit::PublishOptions;

let options = PublishOptions::builder()
    .durable()
    .message_id("MSG-12345")
    .correlation_id("CORR-67890")
    .ttl(Duration::from_secs(300))
    .priority(5)
    .header_string("source", "order-service")
    .header_int("version", 1)
    .auto_declare_exchange()
    .development()
    .build();

publisher.publish_to_exchange(
    "my-exchange",
    "routing.key",
    &message,
    Some(options)
).await?;

let config = RabbitConfig::builder()
    .connection_string("amqp://user:pass@localhost:5672")
    .virtual_host("my-vhost")
    .connection_timeout(Duration::from_secs(30))
    .heartbeat(Duration::from_secs(60))
    .retry(|retry| {
        retry
            .max_retries(3)
            .initial_delay(Duration::from_millis(1000))
            .max_delay(Duration::from_secs(60))
            .backoff_multiplier(2.0)
            .jitter(0.1)
    })
    .health(|health| {
        health
            .check_interval(Duration::from_secs(30))
            .check_timeout(Duration::from_secs(5))
            .enabled()
    })
    .pool(|pool| {
        pool
            .max_connections(10)
            .min_connections(1)
            .idle_timeout(Duration::from_secs(300))
    })
    .build();

Consumer Options

use rust_rabbit::ConsumerOptions;

let consumer_options = ConsumerOptions::builder("my-queue")
    .consumer_tag("my-consumer")
    .concurrency(10)
    .prefetch_count(20)
    .auto_declare_queue()
    .dead_letter_exchange("failed-messages")
    .manual_ack()
    .build();

Error Handling

RustRabbit provides comprehensive error handling:

use rust_rabbit::{RabbitError, Result};

match publisher.publish_to_queue("orders", &message, None).await {
    Ok(_) => println!("Message published successfully"),
    Err(RabbitError::Connection(e)) => eprintln!("Connection error: {}", e),
    Err(RabbitError::Serialization(e)) => eprintln!("Serialization error: {}", e),
    Err(RabbitError::RetryExhausted(msg)) => eprintln!("Retry exhausted: {}", msg),
    Err(e) => eprintln!("Other error: {}", e),
}
