AMQP Manager for VSCode

Manage AMQP brokers, queues, exchanges, and bindings from VSCode with native tree views and native commands.

This project is designed for brokers that expose a compatible HTTP management API, including RabbitMQ® deployments, but it is independent and unofficial.

Features

• Save multiple broker connections in the current workspace.
• Validate connectivity with both AMQP and the HTTP Management API.
• List, create, edit, delete, and purge queues.
• List, create, edit, and delete exchanges.
• Publish messages directly from queue and exchange actions in the explorer.
• List, create, and delete bindings.
• Work entirely from native Activity Bar views, context menus, and JSON inspectors.

Architecture

• ConnectionStore persists saved connections in .vscode/settings.json.
• RabbitMqExplorer coordinates the native tree views, split into connection refresh and broker resource refresh.
• RabbitMqAdminService bridges VS Code actions to compatible management APIs and AMQP health probes.

Requirements

• A broker exposing a compatible HTTP management API.
• One HTTP(S) URL for the Management API.
• One amqp:// or amqps:// URL for the AMQP probe.
• Bun >= 1.3.10 for local development and packaging.

Configuration

The extension contributes these settings:

• amqp-manager.defaultConnection
• amqp-manager.autoRefreshSeconds
• amqp-manager.requestTimeoutMs
• amqp-manager.confirmDestructiveActions

Connections, including passwords, are stored in the workspace settings.json file. Selecting an active connection refreshes the dependent resource views.

Connection Flow

1. Add or edit a connection from the Connections view title actions.
2. The explorer refreshes the saved connections tree first.
3. Resource views load queues, exchanges, bindings, and health only after a valid active connection exists.
4. If the broker is unavailable, saved connections still remain visible and selectable.
