mqConnector is a Go-based connector for interfacing with multiple messaging systems, including IBM MQ, RabbitMQ, and Kafka. This repository provides a simple implementation to connect, send, and receive messages from various queue types.

• Connect to multiple messaging systems (IBM MQ, RabbitMQ, Kafka)
• Send messages to a queue
• Receive messages from a queue

This section gives an overview of the key functionalities provided by the mqConnector.

• Go 1.15 or later
• IBM MQ Server (if using IBM MQ)
• RabbitMQ Server (if using RabbitMQ)
• Kafka Server (if using Kafka)

List the software and versions required to use the mqConnector.

1. Clone the repository:

   git clone https://github.com/alghanim/mqConnector.git
   cd mqConnector

2. Install dependencies:

   go mod tidy

Step-by-step instructions to download and set up the project on your local machine.

Edit the configuration to match your messaging system. Below is an example for IBM MQ:

mqc := NewMQConnector(IBM, map[string]string{
    "queueManager": "QM1",
    "connName":     "localhost(1414)",
    "channel":      "CHANNEL1",
    "user":         "admin",
    "password":     "password",
})

For RabbitMQ:

mqc := NewMQConnector(RabbitMQ, map[string]string{
    "url":       "amqp://guest:guest@localhost:5672/",
    "queueName": "testQueue",
})

For Kafka:

mqc := NewMQConnector(Kafka, map[string]string{
    "brokers": "localhost:9092",
    "topic":   "testTopic",
})

1. Build the application:

   ./BuildLinuxAmd64.sh

This command compiles the Go code into an executable named mqConnector as you need to set CGO_CFLAGS and CGO_LDFLAGS

2. Run the application:

   ./Run.sh or ./mqConnector

This command executes the compiled application.
