# SwiftyZeroMQ - ZeroMQ Swift Bindings for iOS, macOS, tvOS and watchOS

This library provides easy-to-use iOS, macOS, tvOS and watchOS
[Swift](http://swift.org) bindings for the [ZeroMQ](http://zeromq.org) C++
library. It is written in Swift 3 and features a bundled stable
[`libzmq`](https://github.com/zeromq/libzmq) library. It provides ZeroMQ's
low-level API along with an object-oriented API.

## What is ZeroMQ?

> ZeroMQ (also spelled ØMQ, 0MQ or ZMQ) is a high-performance asynchronous
> messaging library, aimed at use in distributed or concurrent applications. It
> provides a message queue, but unlike message-oriented middleware, a ZeroMQ
> system can run without a dedicated message broker. The library's API is
> designed to resemble that of Berkeley sockets.

## Requirements

- iOS 9+ / macOS 10.11+ / tvOS 9.0+ / watchOS 2.0+
- Xcode 8.1 and Swift 3.0
- Bitcode-enabled Xcode project for non-MacOS

## Usage

Please consult the [**Documentation Manual**](Documentation/Manual.md) for more
information. Older examples can also be found in the
[examples](https://github.com/azawawi/swift-zmq-examples) github repository.

### Version

```swift
import SwiftyZeroMQ

// Print ZeroMQ library and our framework version
let (major, minor, patch, versionString) = SwiftyZeroMQ.version
print("ZeroMQ library version is \(major).\(minor) with patch level .\(patch)")
print("ZeroMQ library version is \(versionString)")
print("SwiftyZeroMQ version is \(SwiftyZeroMQ.frameworkVersion)")
```

### Request-reply Pattern

```swift
import SwiftyZeroMQ

do {
// Define a TCP endpoint along with the text that we are going to send/recv
let endpoint = "tcp://127.0.0.1:5555"
let textToBeSent = "Hello world"

// Request socket
let context = try SwiftyZeroMQ.Context()
let requestor = try context.socket(.request)
try requestor.connect(endpoint)

// Reply socket
let replier = try context.socket(.reply)
try replier.bind(endpoint)

// Send it without waiting and check the reply on other socket
try requestor.send(string: textToBeSent, options: .dontWait)
let reply = try replier.recv()
if reply == textToBeSent {
print("Match")
} else {
print("Mismatch")
}

} catch {
print(error)
}
```

### Publish-Subscribe Pattern

```swift
private let endpoint = "tcp://127.0.0.1:5550"

let context = try SwiftyZeroMQ.Context()
let publisher = try context.socket(.publish)
let subscriber1 = try context.socket(.subscribe)
let subscriber2 = try context.socket(.subscribe)
let subscriber3 = try context.socket(.subscribe)

try publisher.bind(endpoint)
let subscribers = [
subscriber1: "Subscriber #1",
subscriber2: "Subscriber #2",
subscriber3: "Subscriber #3",
]
try subscriber1.connect(endpoint)
try subscriber2.connect(endpoint)
try subscriber3.connect(endpoint)

// Brief wait to let everything hook up
usleep(1000)

// Subscriber #1 and #2 should receive anything
try subscriber2.setSubscribe(nil)

// Subscriber #3 should receive only messages starting with "topic"
try subscriber3.setSubscribe("topic")

// Brief wait to let everything hook up
usleep(250)

let poller = SwiftyZeroMQ.Poller()
try poller.register(socket: subscriber1, flags: .pollIn)
try poller.register(socket: subscriber2, flags: .pollIn)
try poller.register(socket: subscriber3, flags: .pollIn)

func pollAndRecv() throws {
let socks = try poller.poll(timeout: 1000)
for subscriber in socks.keys {
let name = subscribers[subscriber]
if socks[subscriber] == SwiftyZeroMQ.PollFlags.pollIn {
let text = try subscriber.recv(options: .dontWait)
print("\(name): received '\(text)'")
} else {
print("\(name): Nothing")
}
}
print("---")
}

// Send a message - expect only sub2 to receive
try publisher.send(string: "message")

// Wait a bit to let the message come through
usleep(100)

try pollAndRecv();

// Send a message - sub2 and sub3 should receive
try publisher.send(string: "topic: test")

// Wait a bit to let the message come through
usleep(100)

try pollAndRecv();
```

### Poller

```swift
import SwiftyZeroMQ

do {
// Define a TCP endpoint along with the text that we are going to send/recv
let endpoint = "tcp://127.0.0.1:5555"

// Request socket
let context = try SwiftyZeroMQ.Context()
let requestor = try context.socket(.request)
try requestor.connect(endpoint)

// Reply socket
let replier = try context.socket(.reply)
try replier.bind(endpoint)

// Create a Poller and add both requestor and replier
let poller = SwiftyZeroMQ.Poller()
try poller.register(socket: requestor, flags: [.pollIn, .pollOut])
try poller.register(socket: replier, flags: [.pollIn, .pollOut])

try requestor.send(string: "Hello replier!")

// wait to let request come through
sleep(1)

var updates = try poller.poll()
if updates[replier] == SwiftyZeroMQ.PollFlags.pollIn {
print("Replier has data to be received.")
}
else {
print("Expected replier to be in pollIn state.")
return
}

try _ = replier.recv()

updates = try poller.poll()
if updates[replier] == SwiftyZeroMQ.PollFlags.none {
print("All data has been received")
}
else {
print("Expected replier to be in none state.")
return
}
} catch {
print(error)
}
```

## Planned Features (aka TODO)

- [ ] More official ZeroMQ examples written
- [ ] More ZeroMQ API wrapped
