NATS - Go Client Build Status GoDoc Coverage Status

A Go client for the NATS messaging system.

Installation

# Go client
go get github.com/apcera/nats

# Servers

# gnatsd
go get github.com/apcera/gnatsd

# nats-server (Ruby)
gem install nats

Basic Encoded Usage


nc, _ := nats.Connect(nats.DefaultURL)
c, _ := nats.NewEncodedConn(nc, "json")
defer c.Close()

// Simple Publisher
c.Publish("foo", "Hello World")

// Simple Async Subscriber
c.Subscribe("foo", func(s string) {
    fmt.Printf("Received a message: %s\n", s)
})

// EncodedConn can Publish any raw Go type using the registered Encoder
type person struct {
     Name     string
     Address  string
     Age      int
}

// Go type Subscriber
c.Subscribe("hello", func(p *person) {
    fmt.Printf("Received a person: %+v\n", p)
})

me := &person{Name: "derek", Age: 22, Address: "585 Howard Street, San Francisco, CA"}

// Go type Publisher
c.Publish("hello", me)

// Unsubscribing
sub, err := c.Subscribe("foo", nil)
...
sub.Unsubscribe()

// Requests
var response string
err := nc.Request("help", "help me", &response, 10*time.Millisecond)

// Replying
c.Subscribe("help", func(subj, reply string, msg string) {
    c.Publish(reply, "I can help!")
})

// Close connection
c.Close();

Using Go Channels (netchan)

nc, _ := nats.Connect(nats.DefaultURL)
ec, _ := nats.NewEncodedConn(nc, "json")
defer ec.Close()

type person struct {
     Name     string
     Address  string
     Age      int
}

recvCh := make(chan *person)
ec.BindRecvChan("hello", recvCh)

sendCh := make(chan *person)
ec.BindSendChan("hello", sendCh)

me := &person{Name: "derek", Age: 22, Address: "585 Howard Street"}

// Send via Go channels
sendCh <- me

// Receive via Go channels
who := <- recvCh

Basic Usage


nc, _ := nats.Connect(nats.DefaultURL)

// Simple Publisher
nc.Publish("foo", []byte("Hello World"))

// Simple Async Subscriber
nc.Subscribe("foo", func(m *Msg) {
    fmt.Printf("Received a message: %s\n", string(m.Data))
})

// Simple Sync Subscriber
sub, err := nc.SubscribeSync("foo")
m, err := sub.NextMsg(timeout)

// Unsubscribing
sub, err := nc.Subscribe("foo", nil)
sub.Unsubscribe()

// Requests
msg, err := nc.Request("help", []byte("help me"), 10*time.Millisecond)

// Replies
nc.Subscribe("help", func(m *Msg) {
    nc.Publish(m.Reply, []byte("I can help!"))
})

// Close connection
nc := nats.Connect("nats://localhost:4222")
nc.Close();

Wildcard Subscriptions


// "*" matches any token, at any level of the subject.
nc.Subscribe("foo.*.baz", func(m *Msg) {
    fmt.Printf("Msg received on [%s] : %s\n", m.Subject, string(m.Data));
})

nc.Subscribe("foo.bar.*", func(m *Msg) {
    fmt.Printf("Msg received on [%s] : %s\n", m.Subject, string(m.Data));
})

// ">" matches any length of the tail of a subject, and can only be the last token
// E.g. 'foo.>' will match 'foo.bar', 'foo.bar.baz', 'foo.foo.bar.bax.22'
nc.Subscribe("foo.>", func(m *Msg) {
    fmt.Printf("Msg received on [%s] : %s\n", m.Subject, string(m.Data));
})

// Matches all of the above
nc.Publish("foo.bar.baz", []byte("Hello World"))

Queue Groups

// All subscriptions with the same queue name will form a queue group.
// Each message will be delivered to only one subscriber per queue group,
// using queuing semantics. You can have as many queue groups as you wish.
// Normal subscribers will continue to work as expected.

nc.QueueSubscribe("foo", "job_workers", func(_ *Msg) {
  received += 1;
})

Advanced Usage


// Flush connection to server, returns when all messages have been processed.
nc.Flush()
fmt.Println("All clear!")

// FlushTimeout specifies a timeout value as well.
err := nc.FlushTimeout(1*time.Second)
if err != nil {
    fmt.Println("All clear!")
} else {
    fmt.Println("Flushed timed out!")
}

// Auto-unsubscribe after MAX_WANTED messages received
const MAX_WANTED = 10
sub, err := nc.Subscribe("foo")
sub.AutoUnsubscribe(MAX_WANTED)

// Multiple connections
nc1 := nats.Connect("nats://host1:4222")
nc2 := nats.Connect("nats://host2:4222")

nc1.Subscribe("foo", func(m *Msg) {
    fmt.Printf("Received a message: %s\n", string(m.Data))
})

nc2.Publish("foo", []byte("Hello World!"));

Clustered Usage


var servers = []string{
	"nats://localhost:1222",
	"nats://localhost:1223",
	"nats://localhost:1224",
}

// Setup options to include all servers in the cluster
opts := nats.DefaultOptions
opts.Servers = servers

// Optionally set ReconnectWait and MaxReconnect attempts.
// This example means 10 seconds total per backend.
opts.MaxReconnect = 5
opts.ReconnectWait = (2 * time.Second)

// Optionally disable randomization of the server pool
opts.NoRandomize = true

nc, err := opts.Connect()

// Setup callbacks to be notified on disconnects and reconnects
nc.Opts.DisconnectedCB = func(_ *Conn) {
    fmt.Printf("Got disconnected!\n")
}

// See who we are connected to on reconnect.
nc.Opts.ReconnectedCB = func(nc *Conn) {
    fmt.Printf("Got reconnected to %v!\n", nc.ConnectedUrl())
}

Functions

func NewInbox 

func NewInbox() string

NewInbox will return an inbox string which can be used for directed replies from subscribers. These are guaranteed to be unique, but can be shared and subscribed to by others.

func RegisterEncoder 

func RegisterEncoder(encType string, enc Encoder)

RegisterEncoder will register the encType with the given Encoder. Useful for customization.

Types

type Conn 

type Conn struct {
	Statistics

	Opts Options
	// contains filtered or unexported fields
}

A Conn represents a bare connection to a nats-server. It will send and receive []byte payloads.

func Connect 

func Connect(url string) (*Conn, error)

Connect will attempt to connect to the NATS server. The url can contain username/password semantics.

Example

Shows different ways to create a Conn 

package main

import (
	"github.com/apcera/nats"
	"time"
)

func main() {

	nats.Connect(nats.DefaultURL)
	nats.Connect("nats://derek:secretpassword@nats.apcera.com:421")

	opts := nats.Options{
		AllowReconnect: true,
		MaxReconnect:   10,
		ReconnectWait:  5 * time.Second,
		Timeout:        1 * time.Second,
	}

	nc, _ := opts.Connect()
	nc.Close()
}

Output:

func SecureConnect 

func SecureConnect(url string) (*Conn, error)

SecureConnect will attempt to connect to the NATS server using TLS. The url can contain username/password semantics.

func (*Conn) Close 

func (nc *Conn) Close()

Close will close the connection to the server. This call will release all blocking calls, such as Flush() and NextMsg()

Example 
package main

import (
	"github.com/apcera/nats"
)

func main() {
	nc, _ := nats.Connect(nats.DefaultURL)
	nc.Close()
}

Output:

func (*Conn) ConnectedUrl 

func (nc *Conn) ConnectedUrl() string

Report the connected server's Url

func (*Conn) Flush 

func (nc *Conn) Flush() error

Flush will perform a round trip to the server and return when it receives the internal reply.

Example 
package main

import (
	"github.com/apcera/nats"
)

func main() {
	nc, _ := nats.Connect(nats.DefaultURL)
	defer nc.Close()

	msg := &nats.Msg{Subject: "foo", Reply: "bar", Data: []byte("Hello World!")}
	for i := 0; i < 1000; i++ {
		nc.PublishMsg(msg)
	}
	err := nc.Flush()
	if err == nil {
		// Everything has been processed by the server for nc *Conn.
	}
}

Output:

func (*Conn) FlushTimeout 

func (nc *Conn) FlushTimeout(timeout time.Duration) (err error)

FlushTimeout allows a Flush operation to have an associated timeout.

Example 
package main

import (
	"github.com/apcera/nats"
	"time"
)

func main() {
	nc, _ := nats.Connect(nats.DefaultURL)
	defer nc.Close()

	msg := &nats.Msg{Subject: "foo", Reply: "bar", Data: []byte("Hello World!")}
	for i := 0; i < 1000; i++ {
		nc.PublishMsg(msg)
	}
	// Only wait for up to 1 second for Flush
	err := nc.FlushTimeout(1 * time.Second)
	if err == nil {
		// Everything has been processed by the server for nc *Conn.
	}
}

Output:

func (*Conn) IsClosed 

func (nc *Conn) IsClosed() bool

Test if Conn has been closed.

func (*Conn) IsReconnecting 

func (nc *Conn) IsReconnecting() bool

func (nc *Conn) LastError() error

LastError reports the last error encountered via the Connection.

func (*Conn) Publish 

func (nc *Conn) Publish(subj string, data []byte) error

Publish publishes the data argument to the given subject. The data argument is left untouched and needs to be correctly interpreted on the receiver.

Example 
package main

import (
	"github.com/apcera/nats"
)

func main() {
	nc, _ := nats.Connect(nats.DefaultURL)
	defer nc.Close()

	nc.Publish("foo", []byte("Hello World!"))
}

Output:

func (*Conn) PublishMsg 

func (nc *Conn) PublishMsg(m *Msg) error

PublishMsg publishes the Msg structure, which includes the Subject, an optional Reply and an optional Data field.

Example 
package main

import (
	"github.com/apcera/nats"
)

func main() {
	nc, _ := nats.Connect(nats.DefaultURL)
	defer nc.Close()

	msg := &nats.Msg{Subject: "foo", Reply: "bar", Data: []byte("Hello World!")}
	nc.PublishMsg(msg)
}

Output:

func (*Conn) PublishRequest 

func (nc *Conn) PublishRequest(subj, reply string, data []byte) error

PublishRequest will perform a Publish() excpecting a response on the reply subject. Use Request() for automatically waiting for a response inline.

func (*Conn) QueueSubscribe 

func (nc *Conn) QueueSubscribe(subj, queue string, cb MsgHandler) (*Subscription, error)

QueueSubscribe creates an asynchronous queue subscriber on the given subject. All subscribers with the same queue name will form the queue group and only one member of the group will be selected to receive any given message asynchronously.

Example 
package main

import (
	"github.com/apcera/nats"
)

func main() {
	nc, _ := nats.Connect(nats.DefaultURL)
	defer nc.Close()

	received := 0

	nc.QueueSubscribe("foo", "worker_group", func(_ *nats.Msg) {
		received += 1
	})
}

Output:

func (*Conn) QueueSubscribeSync 

func (nc *Conn) QueueSubscribeSync(subj, queue string) (*Subscription, error)

QueueSubscribeSync creates a synchronous queue subscriber on the given subject. All subscribers with the same queue name will form the queue group and only one member of the group will be selected to receive any given message synchronously.

func (*Conn) Request 

func (nc *Conn) Request(subj string, data []byte, timeout time.Duration) (m *Msg, err error)

Request will create an Inbox and perform a Request() call with the Inbox reply and return the first reply received. This is optimized for the case of multiple responses.

Example 
package main

import (
	"github.com/apcera/nats"
	"time"
)

func main() {
	nc, _ := nats.Connect(nats.DefaultURL)
	defer nc.Close()

	nc.Subscribe("foo", func(m *nats.Msg) {
		nc.Publish(m.Reply, []byte("I will help you"))
	})
	nc.Request("foo", []byte("help"), 50*time.Millisecond)
}

Output:

func (*Conn) Stats 

func (nc *Conn) Stats() Statistics

Stats will return a race safe copy of the Statistics section for the connection.

func (*Conn) Status 

func (nc *Conn) Status() Status

Status returns the current state of the connection.

func (*Conn) Subscribe 

func (nc *Conn) Subscribe(subj string, cb MsgHandler) (*Subscription, error)

Subscribe will express interest in the given subject. The subject can have wildcards (partial:*, full:>). Messages will be delivered to the associated MsgHandler. If no MsgHandler is given, the subscription is a synchronous subscription and can be polled via Subscription.NextMsg().

Example

This Example shows an asynchronous subscriber. 

package main

import (
	"fmt"
	"github.com/apcera/nats"
)

func main() {
	nc, _ := nats.Connect(nats.DefaultURL)
	defer nc.Close()

	nc.Subscribe("foo", func(m *nats.Msg) {
		fmt.Printf("Received a message: %s\n", string(m.Data))
	})
}

Output:

func (*Conn) SubscribeSync 

func (nc *Conn) SubscribeSync(subj string) (*Subscription, error)

SubscribeSync is syntactic sugar for Subscribe(subject, nil).

Example

This Example shows a synchronous subscriber. 

package main

import (
	"fmt"
	"github.com/apcera/nats"
	"time"
)

func main() {
	nc, _ := nats.Connect(nats.DefaultURL)
	defer nc.Close()

	sub, _ := nc.SubscribeSync("foo")
	m, err := sub.NextMsg(1 * time.Second)
	if err == nil {
		fmt.Printf("Received a message: %s\n", string(m.Data))
	} else {
		fmt.Println("NextMsg timed out.")
	}
}

Output:

type ConnHandler 

type ConnHandler func(*Conn)

ConnHandlers are used for asynchronous events such as disconnected and closed connections.

type DefaultEncoder 

type DefaultEncoder struct {
}

A Default Encoder implementation for EncodedConn. This encoder will leave []byte and string untouched, but will attempt to turn numbers into appropriate strings that can be decoded. It will also propely encoded and decode bools. If will encode a struct, but if you want to properly handle structures you should use JsonEncoder.

func (*DefaultEncoder) Decode 

func (je *DefaultEncoder) Decode(subject string, data []byte, vPtr interface{}) error

func (*DefaultEncoder) Encode 

func (je *DefaultEncoder) Encode(subject string, v interface{}) ([]byte, error)

type EncodedConn 

type EncodedConn struct {
	Conn *Conn
	Enc  Encoder
}

EncodedConn are the preferred way to interface with NATS. They wrap a bare connection to a nats server and have an extendable encoder system that will encode and decode messages from raw Go types.

func NewEncodedConn 

func NewEncodedConn(c *Conn, encType string) (*EncodedConn, error)

NewEncodedConn will wrap an existing Connection and utilize the appropriate registered encoder.

Example

Shows how to wrap a Conn into an EncodedConn 

package main

import (
	"github.com/apcera/nats"
)

func main() {
	nc, _ := nats.Connect(nats.DefaultURL)
	c, _ := nats.NewEncodedConn(nc, "json")
	c.Close()
}

Output:

func (*EncodedConn) BindRecvChan 

func (c *EncodedConn) BindRecvChan(subject string, channel interface{}) (*Subscription, error)

Bind a channel for receive operations from nats.

Example

BindRecvChan() allows binding of a Go channel to a nats subject for subscribe operations. The Encoder attached to the EncodedConn will be used for un-marshalling. 

package main

import (
	"fmt"
	"github.com/apcera/nats"
)

func main() {
	nc, _ := nats.Connect(nats.DefaultURL)
	c, _ := nats.NewEncodedConn(nc, "json")
	defer c.Close()

	type person struct {
		Name    string
		Address string
		Age     int
	}

	ch := make(chan *person)
	c.BindRecvChan("hello", ch)

	me := &person{Name: "derek", Age: 22, Address: "85 Second St"}
	c.Publish("hello", me)

Bind a channel for send operations to nats.

Example

BindSendChan() allows binding of a Go channel to a nats subject for publish operations. The Encoder attached to the EncodedConn will be used for marshalling. 

package main

import (
	"github.com/apcera/nats"
)

func main() {
	nc, _ := nats.Connect(nats.DefaultURL)
	c, _ := nats.NewEncodedConn(nc, "json")
	defer c.Close()

	type person struct {
		Name    string
		Address string
		Age     int
	}

	ch := make(chan *person)
	c.BindSendChan("hello", ch)

	me := &person{Name: "derek", Age: 22, Address: "85 Second St"}
	ch <- me
}

func (*EncodedConn) Publish 

func (c *EncodedConn) Publish(subject string, v interface{}) error

Publish publishes the data argument to the given subject. The data argument will be encoded using the associated encoder.

Example

EncodedConn can publish virtually anything just by passing it in. The encoder will be used to properly encode the raw Go type 

package main

import (
	"github.com/apcera/nats"
)

func main() {
	nc, _ := nats.Connect(nats.DefaultURL)
	c, _ := nats.NewEncodedConn(nc, "json")
	defer c.Close()

	type person struct {
		Name    string
		Address string
		Age     int
	}

	me := &person{Name: "derek", Age: 22, Address: "85 Second St"}
	c.Publish("hello", me)
}

Output:

func (*EncodedConn) PublishRequest 

func (c *EncodedConn) PublishRequest(subject, reply string, v interface{}) error

func (*EncodedConn) QueueSubscribe 

func (c *EncodedConn) QueueSubscribe(subject, queue string, cb Handler) (*Subscription, error)

QueueSubscribe will create a queue subscription on the given subject and process incoming messages using the specified Handler. The Handler should be a func that matches a signature from the description of Handler from above.

func (*EncodedConn) Request 

func (c *EncodedConn) Request(subject string, v interface{}, vPtr interface{}, timeout time.Duration) error

Request will create an Inbox and perform a Request() call with the Inbox reply for the data v. A response will be decoded into the vPtrResponse.

func (*EncodedConn) Subscribe 

func (c *EncodedConn) Subscribe(subject string, cb Handler) (*Subscription, error)

Subscribe will create a subscription on the given subject and process incoming messages using the specified Handler. The Handler should be a func that matches a signature from the description of Handler from above.

Example

EncodedConn's subscribers will automatically decode the wire data into the requested Go type using the Decode() method of the registered Encoder. The callback signature can also vary to include additional data, such as subject and reply subjects. 

package main

import (
	"fmt"
	"github.com/apcera/nats"
)

func main() {
	nc, _ := nats.Connect(nats.DefaultURL)
	c, _ := nats.NewEncodedConn(nc, "json")
	defer c.Close()

	type person struct {
		Name    string
		Address string
		Age     int
	}

	c.Subscribe("hello", func(p *person) {
		fmt.Printf("Received a person! %+v\n", p)
	})

	c.Subscribe("hello", func(subj, reply string, p *person) {
		fmt.Printf("Received a person on subject %s! %+v\n", subj, p)
	})

	me := &person{Name: "derek", Age: 22, Address: "85 Second St"}
	c.Publish("hello", me)
}

Output:

type Encoder 

type Encoder interface {
	Encode(subject string, v interface{}) ([]byte, error)
	Decode(subject string, data []byte, vPtr interface{}) error
}

Encoder interface is for all register encoders

func EncoderForType 

func EncoderForType(encType string) Encoder

EncoderForType will return the registered Encoder for the encType.

type ErrHandler 

type ErrHandler func(*Conn, *Subscription, error)

ErrHandlers are used to process asynchronous errors encountered while processing inbound messages.

type GobEncoder 

type GobEncoder struct {
}

A Go specific GOB Encoder implementation for EncodedConn This encoder will use the builtin encoding/gob to Marshal and Unmarshal most types, including structs.

func (*GobEncoder) Decode 

func (ge *GobEncoder) Decode(subject string, data []byte, vPtr interface{}) (err error)

func (*GobEncoder) Encode 

func (ge *GobEncoder) Encode(subject string, v interface{}) ([]byte, error)

type Handler 

type Handler interface{}

Handler is a specific callback used for Subscribe. It is generalized to an interface{}, but we will discover its format and arguments at runtime and perform the correct callback, including de-marshalling JSON strings back into the appropriate struct based on the signature of the Handler.

Handlers are expected to have one of four signatures. 

type person struct {
	Name string `json:"name,omitempty"`
	Age  uint   `json:"age,omitempty"`
}

handler := func(m *Msg)
handler := func(p *person)
handler := func(subject string, o *obj)
handler := func(subject, reply string, o *obj)

These forms allow a callback to request a raw Msg ptr, where the processing of the message from the wire is untouched. Process a JSON representation and demarshal it into the given struct, e.g. person. There are also variants where the callback wants either the subject, or the subject and the reply subject.

type JsonEncoder 

type JsonEncoder struct {
}

A JSON Encoder implementation for EncodedConn This encoder will use the builtin encoding/json to Marshal and Unmarshal most types, including structs.

func (*JsonEncoder) Decode 

func (je *JsonEncoder) Decode(subject string, data []byte, vPtr interface{}) (err error)

func (*JsonEncoder) Encode 

func (je *JsonEncoder) Encode(subject string, v interface{}) ([]byte, error)

type Msg 

type Msg struct {
	Subject string
	Reply   string
	Data    []byte
	Sub     *Subscription
}

Msg is a structure used by Subscribers and PublishMsg().

type MsgHandler 

type MsgHandler func(msg *Msg)

MsgHandler is a callback function that processes messages delivered to asynchronous subscribers.

type Options 

type Options struct {
	Url            string
	Servers        []string
	NoRandomize    bool
	Name           string
	Verbose        bool
	Pedantic       bool
	Secure         bool
	AllowReconnect bool
	MaxReconnect   int
	ReconnectWait  time.Duration
	Timeout        time.Duration
	ClosedCB       ConnHandler
	DisconnectedCB ConnHandler
	ReconnectedCB  ConnHandler
	AsyncErrorCB   ErrHandler
}

Options can be used to create a customized Connection.

func (Options) Connect 

func (o Options) Connect() (*Conn, error)

Connect will attempt to connect to a NATS server with multiple options.

type Statistics 

type Statistics struct {
	InMsgs     uint64
	OutMsgs    uint64
	InBytes    uint64
	OutBytes   uint64
	Reconnects uint64
}

Tracks various stats received and sent on this connection, including counts for messages and bytes.

type Status 

type Status int

type Subscription 

type Subscription struct {

	// Subject that represents this subscription. This can be different
	// than the received subject inside a Msg if this is a wildcard.
	Subject string

	// Optional queue group name. If present, all subscriptions with the
	// same name will form a distributed queue, and each message will
	// only be processed by one member of the group.
	Queue string
	// contains filtered or unexported fields
}

A Subscription represents interest in a given subject.

func (*Subscription) AutoUnsubscribe 

func (s *Subscription) AutoUnsubscribe(max int) error

AutoUnsubscribe will issue an automatic Unsubscribe that is processed by the server when max messages have been received. This can be useful when sending a request to an unknown number of subscribers. Request() uses this functionality.

Example 
package main

import (
	"fmt"
	"github.com/apcera/nats"
)

func main() {
	nc, _ := nats.Connect(nats.DefaultURL)
	defer nc.Close()

	received, wanted, total := 0, 10, 100

	sub, _ := nc.Subscribe("foo", func(_ *nats.Msg) {
		received += 1
	})
	sub.AutoUnsubscribe(wanted)

	for i := 0; i < total; i++ {
		nc.Publish("foo", []byte("Hello"))
	}
	nc.Flush()

	fmt.Printf("Received = %d", received)
}

Output:

func (*Subscription) IsValid 

func (s *Subscription) IsValid() bool

IsValid returns a boolean indicating whether the subscription is still active. This will return false if the subscription has already been closed.

func (*Subscription) NextMsg 

func (s *Subscription) NextMsg(timeout time.Duration) (msg *Msg, err error)

NextMsg() will return the next message available to a synchronous subscriber or block until one is available. A timeout can be used to return when no message has been delivered.

Example 
package main

import (
	"fmt"
	"github.com/apcera/nats"
	"time"
)

func main() {
	nc, _ := nats.Connect(nats.DefaultURL)
	defer nc.Close()

	sub, _ := nc.SubscribeSync("foo")
	m, err := sub.NextMsg(1 * time.Second)
	if err == nil {
		fmt.Printf("Received a message: %s\n", string(m.Data))
	} else {
		fmt.Println("NextMsg timed out.")
	}
}

Output:

func (*Subscription) Unsubscribe 

func (s *Subscription) Unsubscribe() error

Unsubscribe will remove interest in the given subject.

Example 
package main

import (
	"github.com/apcera/nats"
)

func main() {
	nc, _ := nats.Connect(nats.DefaultURL)
	defer nc.Close()

	sub, _ := nc.SubscribeSync("foo")
	// ...
	sub.Unsubscribe()
}
