How can PhantomJS communicate through RabbitMQ? - rabbitmq

Question

I am new to RabbitMQ. I work with PhantomJS and use JavaScript to do stuff. Now, I need to send some of my results to the RabbitMQ in order to read them using another script. I mean, I want PhantomJS to communicate with RabbitMQ. To send some messages and to read some messages from the queue. Is that possible? Is there anyway by which PhantomJS can communicate with RabbitMQ?

Answer 1

PhantomJS is just another browser. That's exactly what the RabbitMQ Web-Stomp Plugin is for. It is based on SockJS which provides a web socket connection between browser and server. If web sockets are not available there are cross-browser fallbacks. PhantomJS supports web sockets from version 2 onwards.
If you don't open a page in PhantomJS, then you need to run this with the --local-to-remote-url-access=true option. I assume that sockjs-0.3.js and stomp.js are in the scripts directory.
page.injectJs('sockjs-0.3.js');
page.injectJs('stomp.js');
page.evaluate(function(){
var ws = new SockJS('http://127.0.0.1:15674/stomp');
window.client = Stomp.over(ws);
...
});
This has to run in the page context (inside of page.evaluate()). So that is why client is a global window property so that you can get a reference to the client with subsequent page.evaluate() calls. You can trigger calls from the page context to the outside by using window.callPhantom() and the page.onCallback event handler.
