Usage

Sending Messages

use Outhebox\LaravelIBMQ\Facades\LaravelIBMQ;
use Outhebox\LaravelIBMQ\Exceptions\IBMQException;

$ibmQueue = new LaravelIBMQ();

try {
    $ibmQueue->sendMessage('Hello, IBM MQ!');
    echo "Message sent successfully!";
} catch (IBMQException $e) {
    echo "Failed to send message: " . $e->getMessage();
}

Listening to Messages

use Outhebox\LaravelIBMQ\Facades\LaravelIBMQ;
use Outhebox\LaravelIBMQ\Exceptions\IBMQException;

$ibmQueue = new LaravelIBMQ();

try {
    $ibmQueue->listenToMessages(function ($messageBody) {
        echo "Received message: " . $messageBody;
    });
} catch (IBMQException $e) {
    echo "Failed to receive messages: " . $e->getMessage();
}

Closing Connections

Connections are automatically closed when the object is destroyed or the application ends. However, you can explicitly close the connection if needed:

use Outhebox\LaravelIBMQ\Facades\LaravelIBMQ;

$ibmQueue = new LaravelIBMQ();

$ibmQueue->close();
