Laravel RabbitMQ is a package by Vladimir Yuldashev that provides a Laravel queue driver for RabbitMQ. Once installed and configured, you can use Laravel’s Queue API. It even provides support for Laravel Horizon out of the box starting with v8.0.

Here are the full queue configuration options available at the time of writing:

'connections' => [
// ...
'rabbitmq' => [
 
'driver' => 'rabbitmq',
 
/*
* Set to "horizon" if you wish to use Laravel Horizon.
*/
'worker' => env('RABBITMQ_WORKER', 'default'),
 
'dsn' => env('RABBITMQ_DSN', null),
 
/*
* Could be one a class that implements \Interop\Amqp\AmqpConnectionFactory for example:
* - \EnqueueAmqpExt\AmqpConnectionFactory if you install enqueue/amqp-ext
* - \EnqueueAmqpLib\AmqpConnectionFactory if you install enqueue/amqp-lib
* - \EnqueueAmqpBunny\AmqpConnectionFactory if you install enqueue/amqp-bunny
*/
 
'factory_class' => Enqueue\AmqpLib\AmqpConnectionFactory::class,
 
'host' => env('RABBITMQ_HOST', '127.0.0.1'),
