# Propan

**Propan** - just *~~an another one HTTP~~* a **declarative Python Messaging Framework**. It's inspired by *FastAPI* and *Kombu*, simplify Message Brokers around code writing and provides a helpful development toolkit, which existed only in HTTP-frameworks world until now.

It's designed to create reactive microservices around Messaging Architecture.

It is a modern, high-level framework on top of popular specific Python brokers libraries, based on *pydantic* and *FastAPI*, *pytest* concepts.

## :warning::warning::warning: Deprecation notice :warning::warning::warning:

This project is superceeded by [**FastStream**](https://github.com/airtai/faststream).

**FastStream** is a new package based on the ideas and experiences gained from [**FastKafka**](https://github.com/airtai/fastkafka) and **Propan**. By joining our forces, we picked up the best from both packages and created a unified way to write services capable of processing streamed data regardless of the underlying protocol.

I’ll continue to maintain **Propan** package, but new development will be in **FastStream**. If you are starting a new service, **FastStream** is the recommended way to do it.

For now **FastStream** supports **Kafka** and **RabbitMQ**. Other brokers support will be added in a few months.

You can find a detail migration guide in the [documentation](https://lancetnik.github.io/Propan/migration/)

## Declarative?

With declarative tools you can define **what you need to get**. With traditional imperative tools you must write **what you need to do**.

Take a look at classic imperative tools, such as aio-pika, pika, redis-py, nats-py, etc.

This is the **Quickstart** with the *aio-pika*:

```python
import asyncio
import aio_pika

async def main():
connection = await aio_pika.connect_robust(
"amqp://guest:[email protected]/"
)

queue_name = "test_queue"

async with connection:
channel = await connection.channel()

queue = await channel.declare_queue(queue_name)

async with queue.iterator() as queue_iter:
async for message in queue_iter:
async with message.process():
print(message.body)

asyncio.run(main())
```

**aio-pika** is a great tool with a really easy learning curve. But it's still imperative. You need to *connect*, declare *channel*, *queues*, *exchanges* by yourself. Also, you need to manage *connection*, *message*, *queue* context to avoid any troubles.

It is not a bad way, but it can be much easier.

```python
from propan import PropanApp, RabbitBroker

broker = RabbitBroker("amqp://guest:guest@localhost:5672/")
app = PropanApp(broker)

@broker.handle("test_queue")
async def base_handler(body):
print(body)
```

This is the **Propan** declarative way to write the same code. That is so much easier, isn't it?

---

## Quickstart

Install using `pip`:

```shell
pip install "propan[async-rabbit]"
# or
pip install "propan[async-nats]"
# or
pip install "propan[async-redis]"
# or
pip install "propan[async-kafka]"
# or
pip install "propan[async-sqs]"
```

### Basic usage

Create an application with the following code at `serve.py`:

```python
from propan import PropanApp
from propan import RabbitBroker
# from propan import RedisBroker
# from propan import NatsBroker
# from propan import SQSBroker
# from propan import KafkaBroker

broker = RabbitBroker("amqp://guest:guest@localhost:5672/")
# broker = NatsBroker("nats://localhost:4222")
# broker = RedisBroker("redis://localhost:6379")
# broker = SQSBroker("http://localhost:9324", ...)
# broker = KafkaBroker("localhost:9092")

app = PropanApp(broker)

@broker.handle("test")
async def base_handler(body):
print(body)
```

And just run it:

```shell
propan run serve:app --workers 3
```

---

## Type casting

Propan uses `pydantic` to cast incoming function arguments to types according to their annotation.

```python
from pydantic import BaseModel
from propan import PropanApp, RabbitBroker

broker = RabbitBroker("amqp://guest:guest@localhost:5672/")
app = PropanApp(broker)

class SimpleMessage(BaseModel):
key: int

@broker.handle("test2")
async def second_handler(body: SimpleMessage):
assert isinstance(body.key, int)

```

---

## Dependencies

**Propan** a has dependencies management policy close to `pytest fixtures` and `FastAPI Depends` at the same time.
You can specify in functions arguments which dependencies
you would to use. Framework passes them from the global Context object.

Also, you can specify your own dependencies, call dependencies functions and
[more](https://github.com/Lancetnik/Propan/tree/main/examples/dependencies).

```python
from propan import PropanApp, RabbitBroker, Context, Depends

rabbit_broker = RabbitBroker("amqp://guest:guest@localhost:5672/")
app = PropanApp(rabbit_broker)

async def dependency(user_id: int) -> bool:
return True

@rabbit_broker.handle("test")
async def base_handler(user_id: int,
dep: bool = Depends(dependency),
broker: RabbitBroker = Context()):
assert dep is True
assert broker is rabbit_broker
```

---

## RPC over MQ

Also, **Propan** allows you to use **RPC** requests over your broker with a simple way:

```python
from propan import PropanApp, RabbitBroker

broker = RabbitBroker("amqp://guest:guest@localhost:5672/")
app = PropanApp(rabbit_broker)

@broker.handle("ping")
async def base_handler():
return "pong"

@app.after_startup
async def self_ping():
assert (
await broker.publish("", "ping", callback=True)
) == "pong"
```

---

## Project Documentation

**Propan** automatically generates documentation for your project according to the **AsyncAPI** specification. You can work with both generated artifacts and place a Web view of your documentation on resources available to related teams.

The availability of such documentation significantly simplifies the integration of services: you can immediately see what channels and message format the application works with. And most importantly, it doesn't cost you anything - **Propan** has already done everything for you!

## CLI power

**Propan** has its own CLI tool that provided the following features:

* project generation
* multiprocessing workers
* project hot reloading
* documentation generating and hosting
* custom command line arguments passing

### Context passing

For example: pass your current *.env* project setting to context

```bash
propan run serve:app --env=.env.dev
```

```python
from propan import PropanApp, RabbitBroker
from propan.annotations import ContextRepo
from pydantic_settings import BaseSettings

broker = RabbitBroker()

app = PropanApp(broker)

class Settings(BaseSettings):
url: str = "amqp://guest:guest@localhost:5672/"

@app.on_startup
async def setup(env: str, context: ContextRepo):
settings = Settings(_env_file=env)
await broker.connect(settings.url)
context.set_global("settings", settings)
```

### Project template

Also, **Propan CLI** is able to generate a production-ready application template:

```bash
propan create async rabbit [projectname]
```

*Notice: project template require* `pydantic[dotenv]` *installation.*

Run the created project:

```bash
# Run rabbimq first
docker compose --file [projectname]/docker-compose.yaml up -d

# Run project
propan run [projectname].app.serve:app --env=.env --reload
```

Now you can enjoy a new development experience!

---

## HTTP Frameworks integrations

### Any Framework

You can use **Propan** `MQBrokers` without `PropanApp`.
Just *start* and *stop* them according to your application lifespan.

```python
from propan import NatsBroker
from sanic import Sanic

app = Sanic("MyHelloWorldApp")
broker = NatsBroker("nats://localhost:4222")

@broker.handle("test")
async def base_handler(body):
print(body)

@app.after_server_start
async def start_broker(app, loop):
await broker.start()

@app.after_server_stop
async def stop_broker(app, loop):
await broker.close()
```

### FastAPI Plugin

Also, **Propan** can be used as part of **FastAPI**.

Just import a **PropanRouter** you need and declare the message handler
using the `@event` decorator. This decorator is similar to the decorator `@handle` for the corresponding brokers.

```python
from fastapi import Depends, FastAPI
from pydantic import BaseModel
from propan.fastapi import RabbitRouter

router = RabbitRouter("amqp://guest:guest@localhost:5672")
app = FastAPI(lifespan=router.lifespan_context)

class Incoming(BaseModel):
username: str

def call():
return True

@router.event("test")
async def hello(m: Incoming, d = Depends(call)):
return { "response": f"Hello, {m.username}!" }

app.include_router(router)
```
