Example 1: Sending a message to a resource

Prerequisites:
- RabbitMQ running
- Memcached running
```
AlchemyResource = require '../src/alchemy-resource'
```

Creating the Hello resource, whose path is ‘/hello’

hello_resource = new AlchemyResource.Resource("Hello", '/hello')

¶

The Hello resource implements show which takes a body and returns a string of the name
```
hello_resource.show = (context) ->
  {body: "Hello #{context.body.name}"}
```
¶

Make show action public so no authentication is needed
```
hello_resource.show.public = true
```

The resource service is created which contains the resource

service = new AlchemyResource.ResourceService('hello.service', [hello_resource])

¶

Start the Resource Service
```
service.start()
.then( ->
```

Service sending message to the resource, it only knows the path and does not know where the service lives.

  service.send_message_to_resource({
    path: '/hello'
    body: JSON.stringify({ name: "Alice" })
    verb: "GET"
  })
)
.then( (response) ->
  console.log(response.body) # "Hello Alice"
)
.finally( ->
  service.stop()
)
