Package

• Packagist: assessment/module-simple-queue

What It Does

The module publishes a message to Magento's message queue from three entry points:

• CLI command: bin/magento simple-queue:publish
• REST endpoint: POST /rest/V1/simple-queue/publish
• Storefront product page observer: Magento's catalog_controller_product_view event

Consumed messages are written to var/log/consumer.log in this format:

Message published at <timestamp> and consumed at <timestamp>

Queue Requirements

This module is intended for Magento projects with a working message queue backend. The tested environment used RabbitMQ over Magento's amqp connection.

The module expects Magento's queue infrastructure to be available so that:

• the topic assessment.simple_queue.publish can be published
• the queue assessment.simple_queue can be consumed

How To Test

Start a consumer:

bin/magento queue:consumers:start assessment.simple_queue.consumer

Test the CLI publisher:

bin/magento simple-queue:publish

Test the REST publisher:

curl -X POST https://your-magento-host/rest/V1/simple-queue/publish

Expected REST response:

OK

Then check:

tail -f var/log/consumer.log

Consumer Log

The consumer writes to:

var/log/consumer.log

Expected log format:

Message published at <timestamp> and consumed at <timestamp>

You can watch it live with:

tail -f var/log/consumer.log

• The storefront hook uses a Magento product view observer.
