Installation ------------ [](#installation) ``` composer require checkthiscloud/phpamqplib-messenger ``` Make sure the bundled is enabled in `config/bundles.php`: ``` return [ // ... Jwage\PhpAmqpLibMessengerBundle\PhpAmqpLibMessengerBundle::class => ['all' => true], ]; ``` The minimum configuration required is the transports name and the DSN. ``` # config/packages/messenger.yaml framework: messenger: transports: orders: dsn: 'phpamqplib://guest:guest@localhost:5672/myvhost/orders' ``` The configuration above will create an exchange named `orders` and bind a queue named `orders` to it within the vhost `myvhost`. Roadmap ------- [](#roadmap) The objective and future roadmap for this bundle is to achieve version 1.0 as a third-party Symfony bundle first, and then subsequently integrate it into the Symfony core for Symfony 7.4 LTS, as `symfony/phpamqplib-messenger`, providing an alternative to `symfony/amqp-messenger`. Documentation ------------- [](#documentation) For detailed documentation, including advanced configuration options, features, and usage examples, please see the [documentation](docs/index.md). Why use this bundle? -------------------- [](#why-use-this-bundle) There are several reasons why you might prefer to use the `php-amqplib/php-amqplib` library over the `php-amqp` C extension for connecting to RabbitMQ in Symfony Messenger: 1. **Asynchronous Consumers**: The `php-amqplib` library properly implements asynchronous consumers, which allows for more efficient message handling. This is particularly useful for advanced use cases where you need to handle a large number of messages concurrently. 2. **Active Maintenance**: Both `php-amqplib` and `php-amqp` are actively maintained by VMware. However, `php-amqplib` is often preferred for its flexibility and ease of use in PHP applications. 3. **PHP Version Compatibility**: Using `php-amqplib` makes upgrading PHP versions easier, as it does not rely on a C extension that may have compatibility issues with newer PHP versions. 4. **Efficient Message Streaming**: The `php-amqplib` library allows for proper streaming of messages from the server, avoiding the inefficiencies of constant polling with `get()`. This means that you can maintain an open stream connection and control how long to wait for messages, which is not possible with the `php-amqp` extension. 5. **Safe Worker Shutdown**: With `php-amqplib`, you can safely stop your workers using `pcntl` signals, ensuring that your handlers do not get shut down mid-message handling. This is a significant advantage over the `php-amqp` extension, where the `consume()` method does not work as expected, leading to potential issues with worker shutdown. In summary, `php-amqplib` provides a more robust and flexible solution for connecting to RabbitMQ in Symfony Messenger, making it the preferred choice for many developers. Message Reliability ------------------- [](#message-reliability) This bundle prioritizes message reliability over raw performance. By default, confirms are enabled to ensure that messages are acknowledged by the server. In the event of a connection exception, publishes are retried if there is uncertainty about whether a message was received by the server. This approach ensures that messages are not lost, but it also means that a message could potentially be published twice. Therefore, it is crucial to ensure that your message handlers are 100% idempotent to handle such scenarios gracefully. Acknowledgements ---------------- [](#acknowledgements) We would like to express our sincere gratitude to [@videlalvaro](https://github.com/videlalvaro), the author of the [php-amqplib](https://github.com/php-amqplib/php-amqplib) library, for his invaluable contributions to the development of this project. We also acknowledge Microsoft for supporting his efforts, as he utilized company time to help make this Symfony bundle a robust and reliable solution for connecting to RabbitMQ in Symfony applications.
