Javascript: RPC client may exit too early

[jaydpather]

I found this tutorial quite confusing: https://www.rabbitmq.com/tutorials/tutorial-six-javascript.html

It claims it is going to show you how to write an RPC, where the caller waits for a response before returning. However, the example code does the opposite: in rpc_client.js, the call to amqp.connect returns before the callback for channel.consume is invoked.

The C# RPC tutorial does a true RPC, where it waits for the response before returning. The Javascript tutorial should have a similar behavior.

You are welcome to correct the JavaScript example and submit two PRs, in this repo for the executable version and then for the website copy.

As @michaelklishin said, we would welcome corrections. RabbitMQ is free, open-source software and any contributions from the community are very welcome.
