# RabbitMQ

RabbitMQ is an AMQP compatible transport that's officially supported by **@node-ts/bus**. Once configured, **@node-ts/bus** will create all necessary queues and exchanges to support the handlers of the application.

### Installation

Install the **@node-ts/bus-rabbitmq** npm package

```bash
npm i @node-ts/bus-rabbitmq
```

Once installed, configure a new **RabbitMqTransport** and provide it to the bus configuration

```typescript
import { Bus } from '@node-ts/bus-core'
import { RabbitMqTransport, RabbitMqTransportConfiguration } from '@node-ts/bus-rabbitmq'

const rabbitConfiguration: RabbitMqTransportConfiguration = {
  queueName: 'accounts-application-queue',
  connectionString: 'amqp://guest:guest@localhost',
  maxRetries: 5
}
const rabbitMqTransport = new RabbitMqTransport(rabbitConfiguration)
await Bus
  .configure()
  .withTransport(rabbitMqTransport)
  .initialize()
```
