🐇 RabbitMQTest — A Simple RabbitMQ Demo in C#

The RabbitMQTest repository by Kandarp Gautam is a C# project that demonstrates how to use RabbitMQ for message queuing. It shows the basics of a producer sending messages and a consumer receiving them, making it ideal for beginners exploring asynchronous communication.

🎯 What It Achieves

• Demonstrates the producer–consumer pattern

• Uses a setup class to declare queues and exchanges

• Provides basic configuration for connecting to RabbitMQ

---

🧩 How the Code Works

• RabbitMQSetup: Declares the queue and prepares RabbitMQ to handle messages

• Producer: Publishes messages into the queue

• Consumer: Subscribes to the queue and processes messages asynchronously

• Connection settings: Link the C# application with the RabbitMQ broker running locally or in Docker

This flow illustrates how RabbitMQ decouples services — the producer and consumer don’t need to run at the same time, yet messages are reliably delivered.

🛠️ Setting Up RabbitMQ with Docker

Use the RabbitMQ image with the management plugin to run the broker locally. This provides both the service and a web-based management UI.

• Port 5672 → for applications to connect

• Port 15672 → for the RabbitMQ Management UI (http://localhost:15672)

• Default credentials: guest / guest

🚀 Steps to Replicate

1. Clone the repository: RabbitMQTest (https://github.com/kandarpgautam/RabbitMQTest)

2. Start RabbitMQ in Docker

3. Run the RabbitMQSetup project to initialize queues and exchanges

4. Run the Producer project to send messages

5. Run the Consumer project to process messages

6. Check the Management UI to verify queues and message flow

📌 Why This Repo Is Useful

• A sandbox for learning RabbitMQ basics in C#

• Clear demonstration of the producer–consumer pattern

• Easy to extend into work queues or pub/sub models
