# Carrot

A synchronous amqp client. Based on Aman's amqp client:

[http://github.com/tmm1/amqp/tree/master](http://github.com/tmm1/amqp/tree/master)

## Motivation

This client does not use eventmachine so no background thread necessary. As a result, it is much easier to use from script/console and Passenger. It also solves the problem of buffering messages and ack responses. For more details see [this thread](http://groups.google.com/group/ruby-amqp/browse_thread/thread/fdae324a0ebb1961/fa185fdce1841b68).

There is currently no way to prevent buffering using eventmachine. Support for prefetch is still unreliable.


## Example
    
    require 'carrot'

    q = Carrot.queue('name')
    10.times do |num|
      q.publish(num.to_s)
    end
    
    puts "Queued #{q.message_count} messages"
    puts
    
    while msg = q.pop(:ack => true)
      puts "Popping: #{msg}"
      q.ack
    end
    Carrot.stop
