AMQP 1.0 nodes for Node-RED

This project provides a set of nodes for Node-RED that makes it easy to integrate AMQP 1.0 protocol in a flow application.

Documentation

The official documentation is available here.

Installation

The nodes are based on rhea library, a reactive library for AMQP 1.0 protocol for easy development of both clients and servers. It's needed to install that library before starting to use rhea nodes inside a Node-RED flow. The simpler way to do it is use the Node Package Manager (NPM) and install the rhea module.

Hacking

In order to test local changes to the node, it's possible to use the npm link command.

• in the directory containing the package.json file, run sudo npm link
• in the Node-RED user directly which typically is ~/.node-red, run npm link node-red-contrib-rhea

This creates the symbolic link between the two directories so that when Node-RED discovers nodes from the suer directory, it will find the node-red-contrib-rhea node as well from the local git repository folder. Any changes to the node code is reflected just restarting Node-RED.
