# RabbitMQ RabbitMQ is an open-source message-broker software that originally implemented the Advanced Message Queuing Protocol and has since been extended with a plug-in architecture to support Streaming Text Oriented Messaging Protocol, Message Queuing Telemetry Transport, and other protocols. CAP has supported RabbitMQ as message transporter. ## Configuration To use RabbitMQ transporter, you need to install the following extensions from NuGet: ```powershell PM> Install-Package DotNetCore.CAP.RabbitMQ ``` Next, add configuration items to the `ConfigureServices` method of `Startup.cs`. ```csharp public void ConfigureServices(IServiceCollection services) { // ... services.AddCap(x => { x.UseRabbitMQ(opt=> { //RabbitMQOptions }); // x.UseXXX ... }); } ``` #### RabbitMQ Options The RabbitMQ configuration parameters provided directly by the CAP are as follows: NAME | DESCRIPTION | TYPE | DEFAULT :---|:---|---|:--- HostName | Broker host address | string | localhost UserName | Broker user name | string | guest Password | Broker password | string | guest VirtualHost | Broker virtual host | string | / Port | Port | int | -1 TopicExchangeName | Default exchange name of cap created | string | cap.default.topic QueueMessageExpires | Message expries after to delete, in milliseconds | int | (10 days) milliseconds #### ConnectionFactory Options If you need **more** native `ConnectionFactory` configuration options, you can set it by 'ConnectionFactoryOptions' option: ```csharp services.AddCap(x => { x.UseRabbitMQ(o => { o.HostName = "localhost"; o.ConnectionFactoryOptions = opt => { //rabbitmq client ConnectionFactory config }; }); }); ```
