type MessageClient

type MessageClient interface {
	// Connect to messaging host specified in MessageBus config
	// returns error if not able to connect
	Connect() error

	// Publish is to send message to the message bus
	// the message contains data payload to send to the message queue
	Publish(message types.MessageEnvelope, topic string) error

	// Subscribe is to receive messages from topic channels
	// if message does not require a topic, then use empty string ("") for topic
	// the topic channel contains subscribed message channel and topic to associate with it
	// the channel is used for multiple threads of subscribers for 1 publisher (1-to-many)
	// the messageErrors channel returns the message errors from the caller
	// since subscriber works in asynchronous fashion
	// the function returns error for any subscribe error
	Subscribe(topics []types.TopicChannel, messageErrors chan error) error

	// Disconnect is to close all connections on the message bus
	// and TopicChannel will also be closed
	Disconnect() error
}
