Support for Fanout exchanges

[c-brooks]

We have code that uses the fanout exchange type, which works fine against a real RabbitMQ server but fails our test suite against a wabbit fake server with the error message:

Invalid exchange type: fanout

I searched the wabbit codebase and couldn't find any mention of the fanout exchange type. Are there any plans on implementing this ?

Thanks, love the library. Keep up the good work 👍

Hi @c-brooks

I'm not working with AMQP anymore. Also, AFAIK people at NeowayLabs don't use RabbitMQ anymore...

I support the forking of this library. If someone implements this feature or is actively fixing bugs on his own fork, let me know and I can add a notice in the readme redirecting users to a most up to date repository. Maybe we can even transfer this repository ownership to someone else (but I don't know if that's possible). @matheusvill What do you think?

Thank you for your kind words.

@satta I just find out you maintain a Debian/Ubuntu package of this library. Would you like to maintain this project as well? There are other forks that implement missing features and/or fix bugs, then what's needed is just review and ensure tests pass, and so on. It's completely fine if you can't or don't want to.

Hi Tiago, thanks for your consideration. However, I sadly must admit that at them moment my time is too limited to be able to fully adopt this project, sorry. I hope you can find someone with more spare time...

Hi @satta,

It's completely fine.

It's much simpler than the direct or topic exchanges. Probably someone will come up with a contribution soon.
