IronMQ Go Client

Getting Started

Install the package:

go get github.com/iron-io/iron_mq_go

The API is documented here.

The Basics

Initialize a client and get a queue object:

client := ironmq.NewClient("my project", "my token", ironmq.IronAWSUSEast)
queue := client.Queue("my_queue")

Push a message on the queue:

id, err := queue.Push("Hello, world!")

Pop a message off the queue:

msg, err := queue.Get()

When you pop/get a message from the queue, it will not be deleted. It will eventually go back onto the queue after a timeout if you don't delete it. (The default timeout is 10 minutes.)

Delete a message from the queue:

err := msg.Delete()

Switching Clouds

You can switch to Rackspace by changing the Cloud/Region when creating the client.

client := ironmq.NewClient("my project", "my token", ironmq.IronRackspaceORD)

See cloud.go for full list.
