Rabbitmq and nodejs delete queue after message has been received - node.js

Question

Im new in the rabbitmq, trying to figure out how to delete queue after message has been received. Any help appreciated. Here is consumer script:
const amqp = require("amqplib");
let result = connect();
async function connect() {
try {
const amqpServer = "amqp://localhost"
const connection = await amqp.connect(amqpServer)
const channel = await connection.createChannel();
await channel.assertQueue("jobs");
channel.consume("jobs", message => {
const input = JSON.parse(message.content.toString());
console.log(`Recieved job with input ${input}`);
})
console.log("Waiting for messages...");
} catch (ex) {
console.error(ex)
}
}

According to the assertQueue queue docs, you can pass an autoDelete option when creating which will clean up after the number of consumers drops to 0.
const amqp = require("amqplib");
let result = connect();
async function connect() {
try {
const amqpServer = "amqp://localhost"
const connection = await amqp.connect(amqpServer)
const channel = await connection.createChannel();
await channel.assertQueue("jobs", {autoDelete: true});
channel.consume("jobs", message => {
const input = JSON.parse(message.content.toString());
console.log(`Recieved job with input ${input}`);
})
console.log("Waiting for messages...");
} catch (ex) {
console.error(ex)
}
}
You could then call cancel on the channel to stop consuming the messages.
channel.cancel("jobs");
Lastly, you could forcefully delete the queue with deleteQueue, although this might have some strange side effects if doing it in a callback.
