How can I check node amqp connection status(open/close)

[Urmik Shah]

Hello,

I have been working on socket.io nodejs. For RabbitMQ, I am using node AMQP library(https://github.com/postwait/node-amqp). 

I have created amqp connection. From amqp object, how can I check whether my connection is open or close? 

Saw that there are "connectionOpenOk" and "connectionCloseOk" methods.But don't know how to get from amqp object.

Regards,

Urmik

There should be a way but I highly recommend switching to https://github.com/squaremo/amqp.node before it's too late.

That library is maintained, has decent docs, ported RabbitMQ tutorials and
a responsive person looking after it.

Thanks for your suggestion Michael.I will look into " https://github.com/squaremo/amqp.node ".

Actually I have been using "node amqp(https://github.com/postwait/node-amqp)" since quite a while.And It works fine till now. Also it is well documented.

Any particular disadvantage of "node-amqp" that i still haven't came across?

It has known bugs (not major but annoying nonetheless) and is not really maintained.
