Installation

# Go client
go get github.com/nats-io/nats

# Server
go get github.com/nats-io/gnatsd

Basic Usage


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

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

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

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

// Channel Subscriber
ch := make(chan *nats.Msg, 64)
sub, err := nc.ChanSubscribe("foo", ch)
msg <- ch

// Unsubscribe
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();

Encoded Connections


nc, _ := nats.Connect(nats.DefaultURL)
c, _ := nats.NewEncodedConn(nc, nats.JSON_ENCODER)
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: "140 New Montgomery Street, San Francisco, CA"}

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

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

// Requests
var response string
err := c.Request("help", "help me", &response, 10*time.Millisecond)
if err != nil {
    fmt.Printf("Request failed: %v\n", err)
}

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

// Close connection
c.Close();

TLS

// tls as a scheme will enable secure connections by default. This will also verify the server name.
nc, err := nats.Connect("tls://nats.demo.io:4443")

// If you are using a self-signed certificate, you need to have a tls.Config with RootCAs setup.
// We provide a helper method to make this case easier.
nc, err = nats.Connect("tls://localhost:4443", nats.RootCAs("./configs/certs/ca.pem"))

// If the server requires client certificate, there is an helper function for that too:
cert := nats.ClientCert("./configs/certs/client-cert.pem", "./configs/certs/client-key.pem")
nc, err = nats.Connect("tls://localhost:4443", cert)

// You can also supply a complete tls.Config

certFile := "./configs/certs/client-cert.pem"
keyFile := "./configs/certs/client-key.pem"
cert, err := tls.LoadX509KeyPair(certFile, keyFile)
if err != nil {
    t.Fatalf("error parsing X509 certificate/key pair: %v", err)
}

config := &tls.Config{
    ServerName: 	opts.Host,
    Certificates: 	[]tls.Certificate{cert},
    RootCAs:    	pool,
    MinVersion: 	tls.VersionTLS12,
}

nc, err = nats.Connect("nats://localhost:4443", nats.Secure(config))
if err != nil {
	t.Fatalf("Got an error on Connect with Secure Options: %+v\n", err)
}

Using Go Channels (netchan)

nc, _ := nats.Connect(nats.DefaultURL)
ec, _ := nats.NewEncodedConn(nc, nats.JSON_ENCODER)
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: "140 New Montgomery Street"}

// Send via Go channels
sendCh <- me

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

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 = "nats://localhost:1222, nats://localhost:1223, nats://localhost:1224"

nc, err := nats.Connect(servers)

// Optionally set ReconnectWait and MaxReconnect attempts.
// This example means 10 seconds total per backend.
nc, err = nats.Connect(servers, nats.MaxReconnects(5), nats.ReconnectWait(2 * time.Second))

// Optionally disable randomization of the server pool
nc, err = nats.Connect(servers, nats.DontRandomize())

// Setup callbacks to be notified on disconnects, reconnects and connection closed.
nc, err = nats.Connect(servers,
	nats.DisconnectHandler(func(nc *nats.Conn) {
		fmt.Printf("Got disconnected!\n")
	}),
	nats.ReconnectHandler(func(_ *nats.Conn) {
		fmt.Printf("Got reconnected to %v!\n", nc.ConnectedUrl())
	}),
	nats.ClosedHandler(func(nc *nats.Conn) {
		fmt.Printf("Connection closed. Reason: %q\n", nc.LastError())
	})
)

// When connecting to a mesh of servers with auto-discovery capabilities,
// you may need to provide a username/password or token in order to connect
// to any server in that mesh when authentication is required.
// Instead of providing the credentials in the initial URL, you will use
// new option setters:
nc, err = nats.Connect("nats://localhost:4222", nats.UserInfo("foo", "bar"))

// For token based authentication:
nc, err = nats.Connect("nats://localhost:4222", nats.Token("S3cretT0ken"))

// You can even pass the two at the same time in case one of the server
// in the mesh requires token instead of user name and password.
nc, err = nats.Connect("nats://localhost:4222",
    nats.UserInfo("foo", "bar"),
    nats.Token("S3cretT0ken"))

// Note that if credentials are specified in the initial URLs, they take
// precedence on the credentials specfied through the options.
// For instance, in the connect call below, the client library will use
// the user "my" and password "pwd" to connect to locahost:4222, however,
// it will use username "foo" and password "bar" when (re)connecting to
// a different server URL that it got as part of the auto-discovery.
nc, err = nats.Connect("nats://my:pwd@localhost:4222", nats.UserInfo("foo", "bar"))

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 can send and receive []byte payloads.

func Connect

func Connect(url string, options ...Option) (*Conn, error)

Connect will attempt to connect to the NATS system. The url can contain username/password semantics. e.g. nats://derek:pass@localhost:4222 Comma separated arrays are also supported, e.g. urlA, urlB. Options start with the defaults but can be overridden.

Example

Shows different ways to create a Conn

package main

import (
	"time"

	"github.com/nats-io/nats"
)

func main() {

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

	nc, _ = nats.Connect("nats://derek:secretpassword@demo.nats.io:4222")
	nc.Close()

	nc, _ = nats.Connect("tls://derek:secretpassword@demo.nats.io:4443")
	nc.Close()

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

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

ChanSubscribe will place all messages received on the channel. You should not close the channel until sub.Unsubscribe() has been called.

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 (

func (*Conn) ConnectedUrl

func (nc *Conn) ConnectedUrl() string

Report the connected server's Url

func (*Conn) DiscoveredServers added in v1.2.2

func (nc *Conn) DiscoveredServers() []string

DiscoveredServers returns only the server urls that have been discovered after a connection has been established. If authentication is enabled, use UserInfo or Token when connecting with these urls.

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/nats-io/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 (
	"time"

	"github.com/nats-io/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)
	}
	// 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 (nc *Conn) IsReconnecting() bool

IsReconnecting tests if a Conn is reconnecting.

func (*Conn) LastError

func (nc *Conn) LastError() error

LastError reports the last error encountered via the connection. It can be used reliably within ClosedCB in order to find out reason why connection was closed for example.

func (*Conn) MaxPayload added in v1.1.2

func (nc *Conn) MaxPayload() int64

MaxPayload returns the size limit that a message payload can have. This is set by the server configuration and delivered to the client upon connect.

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/nats-io/nats"
)

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

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

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/nats-io/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/nats-io/nats"
)

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

	received := 0

	nc.QueueSubscribe("foo", "worker_group", func(_ *nats.Msg) {
		received++
	})
}
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) QueueSubscribeSyncWithChan added in v1.2.0

func (nc *Conn) QueueSubscribeSyncWithChan(subj, queue string, ch chan *Msg) (*Subscription, error)

QueueSubscribeSyncWithChan is syntactic sugar for ChanQueueSubscribe(subject, group, ch).

func (*Conn) Request

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

	"github.com/nats-io/nats"
)

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) Servers added in v1.2.2

func (nc *Conn) Servers() []string

Servers returns the list of known server urls, including additional servers discovered after a connection has been established. If authentication is enabled, use UserInfo or Token when connecting with these urls.

func (*Conn) SetClosedHandler added in v1.2.0

func (nc *Conn) SetClosedHandler(cb ConnHandler)

SetClosedHandler will set the reconnect event handler.

func (*Conn) SetDisconnectHandler added in v1.2.0

func (nc *Conn) SetDisconnectHandler(dcb ConnHandler)

func (*Conn) SetReconnectHandler added in v1.2.0

func (nc *Conn) SetReconnectHandler(rcb ConnHandler)

SetReconnectHandler will set the reconnect event handler.

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/nats-io/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"
	"time"

	"github.com/nats-io/nats"
)

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 (*Conn) TLSRequired added in v1.2.0

func (nc *Conn) TLSRequired() bool

TLSRequired will return if the connected server requires TLS connections.

type ConnHandler

type ConnHandler func(*Conn)

ConnHandler is used for asynchronous events such as disconnected and closed connections.

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/nats-io/nats"

Output:

func (*EncodedConn) BindRecvChan

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

BindRecvChan binds 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/nats-io/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)

	// Receive the publish directly on a channel
	who := <-ch

	fmt.Printf("%v says hello!\n", who)
}
Output:

func (*EncodedConn) BindRecvQueueChan

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

BindRecvQueueChan binds a channel for queue-based receive operations from NATS.

func (*EncodedConn) BindSendChan

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

BindSendChan binds 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/nats-io/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/nats-io/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

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

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/nats-io/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:

func EncoderForType

func EncoderForType(encType string) Encoder

EncoderForType will return the registered Encoder for the encType.

type ErrHandler

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

ErrHandler is used to process asynchronous errors encountered while processing inbound messages.

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 Msg

type Msg struct {
	Subject string
	Reply   string
	Data    []byte
	Sub     *Subscription
	// contains filtered or unexported fields
}

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