Getting Started

You can start using the IronMQ client by adding it to your Cargo.toml:

[dependencies]
iron_mq_rust = {path = "../iron_mq_rust"}

Client configuration

Using your iron.json file

Get your iron.json file from iron.io and place it in the root of your project.

{
    "project_id":"project id",
    "token":"token",
    "host":"mq-aws-eu-west-1-1.iron.io"
}

Then initialize the client from_file() function:

extern crate iron_mq_rust;

use iron_mq_rust::Client;

fn main() {
    let mut client = Client::from_file();
}

Code configuration

You can also configure the client in your code:

extern crate iron_mq_rust;

use iron_mq_rust::Client;

fn main() {
    let host = String::from("host");
    let project_id = String::from("project_id");
    let token = String::from("token");
    let mut client = Client::new(host, project_id, token);
}

Using environment variables

In this case you can initialize the client using from_env() function:

extern crate iron_mq_rust;

use iron_mq_rust::Client;

fn main() {
    let mut client = Client::from_env();
}

Then, you can run your program using environment variables:

IRON_HOST=mq-aws-eu-west-1-1.iron.io IRON_PROJECT_ID=project_id IRON_TOKEN=token cargo run

Example

Simple message pushing example:

extern crate iron_mq_rust;

use iron_mq_rust::Client;

fn main() {
    let mut client = Client::from_file();
    let queue_name = String::from("test-pull-queue");
    
    client.create_queue(&queue_name);
    
    let mut queue = client.queue(queue_name);
    let id = queue.push_string("test message");
    println!("{}", id.unwrap());
}

Note: if you want to push message into an existing queue, skip step of queue creation: client.create_queue(&queue_name);
