RabbitMQ CRUD Queues/Exchanges?

[guttizin]

Am I doing/thinking wrong?
Why is there no basic functionality in RabbitMQ-Client-[dotnet|java] such as: list queues, list queue bindings?

Shouldn't the client support all the basic CRUD functionality for a queue/exchange?

I'm looking for functionality within IModel, which is where Create(QueueDeclare / ExchangeDeclare) and Delete(QueueDelete...) are, but where are the Retrieve and Update functionality from CRUD? Would it just be through the API? /api/queues and /api/exchanges?

Updating a queue involves deleting it and re-creating it, which you can do from this library. This is a very rare thing to do, however.

By "retrieving" I assume you mean these operations:

• Retrieve a specific queue by name - use a passive declaration for that.
• Retrieve a list of all queues - use the HTTP API.

Would it just be through the API? /api/queues and /api/exchanges?

Depending on what you want to do, yes. None of the RabbitMQ AMQP 0.9.1 client libraries support the operations that the HTTP API provides.

I really appreciate all the support!

I'm doing some tests, and I would like to manage queues and exchanges programmatically.
I will use the API, as suggested.

At the end of the tests, with the scenario prepared, I will use export_definitions and import_definitions as michael suggested too.
Really thanks!!

I'll take a wild guess that this has to do with seeding a large-ish topology. There's already a library and programming language-neutral solution that has been around for over a decade.

Thank you for your support.

I'm doing some tests on the viability and performance of the system. Initially a test to find out how the system behaves with multiple queues, multiple exchanges and multiple bindings.

To do this, I simulated a scenario and would like to reset it (delete all queues, exchanges and bindings) and create a new one, programmatically.
But to reset, the functions require the name of the queues and exchange as a parameter, hence my question.
[remounting docker's image is also an alternative]

At the end of the tests, I would like to have a script to create the production scenario. The alternative of using import_definitions will be perfect for this case. I didn't know about this yet.

Thanks!!

Great guess @michaelklishin
