An Opinionated Message Queue with an emitter-style API, but with callbacks.
If you need a multi process MQEmitter, check out the table below:
- [mqemitter-redis]: Redis-powered mqemitter
- [mqemitter-mongodb]: Mongodb based mqemitter
- [mqemitter-child-process]: Share the same mqemitter between a hierarchy of child processes
- [mqemitter-cs]: Expose a MQEmitter via a simple client/server protocol
- [mqemitter-p2p]: A P2P implementation of MQEmitter, based on HyperEmitter and a Merkle DAG
- [mqemitter-aerospike]: Aerospike mqemitter
## Installation
```sh
npm install mqemitter
```
## Examples
```js
const mq = require('mqemitter')
const emitter = mq({ concurrency: 5 })
const message
emitter.on('hello world', function (message, cb) {
// call callback when you are done
// do not pass any errors, the emitter cannot handle it.
cb()
})
// topic is mandatory
message = { topic: 'hello world', payload: 'or any other fields' }
emitter.emit(message, function () {
// emitter will never return an error
})
```
## API
- [new MQEmitter ([options])](#new-mqemitter-options)
- [emitter.emit (message, callback)](#emitteremit-message-callback)
- [emitter.on (topic, listener, [callback])](#emitteron-topic-listener-callback)
- [emitter.removeListener (topic, listener, [callback])](#emitterremovelistener-topic-listener-callback)
- [emitter.close (callback)](#emitterclose-callback)
## new MQEmitter ([options])
- options ``
- `concurrency` `` maximum number of concurrent messages that can be on concurrent delivery. __Default__: `0`
- `wildcardOne` `` a char to use for matching exactly one _non-empty_ level word. __Default__: `+`
- `wildcardSome` `` a char to use for matching multiple level wildcards. __Default__: #`
- `matchEmptyLevels` `` If true then `wildcardOne` also matches an empty word. __Default__: `true`
- `separator` `` a separator character to use for separating words. __Default__: `/`
Create a new MQEmitter class.
MQEmitter is the class and function exposed by this module.
It can be created by `MQEmitter()` or using `new MQEmitter()`.
For more information on wildcards, see [this explanation](#wildcards) or [Qlobber](https://www.npmjs.com/qlobber).
## emitter.emit (message, callback)
- `message` ``
- `callback` `` `(error) => void`
- error `` | `null`
Emit the given message, which must have a `topic` property, which can contain wildcards as defined on creation.
## emitter.on (topic, listener, [callback])
- `topic` ``
- `listener` `` `(message, done) => void`
- `callback` `` `() => void`
Add the given listener to the passed topic. Topic can contain wildcards, as defined on creation.
The `listener` __must never error__ and `done` must not be called with an __`err`__ object.
`callback` will be called when the event subscribe is done correctly.
## emitter.removeListener (topic, listener, [callback])
The inverse of `on`.
## emitter.close (callback)
- `callback` `` `() => void`
Close the given emitter. After, all writes will return an error.
## Wildcards
__MQEmitter__ supports the use of wildcards: every topic is splitted according to `separator`.
The wildcard character `+` matches exactly _non-empty_ one word:
```js
const mq = require('mqemitter')
const emitter = mq()
emitter.on('hello/+/world', function(message, cb) {
// will ONLY capture { topic: 'hello/my/world', 'something': 'more' }
console.log(message)
cb()
})
emitter.on('hello/+', function(message, cb) {
// will not be called
console.log(message)
cb()
})
emitter.emit({ topic: 'hello/my/world', something: 'more' })
emitter.emit({ topic: 'hello//world', something: 'more' })
```
The wildcard character `+` matches one word:
```js
const mq = require('mqemitter')
const emitter = mq({ matchEmptyLevels: true })
emitter.on('hello/+/world', function(message, cb) {
// will capture { topic: 'hello/my/world', 'something': 'more' }
// and capture { topic: 'hello//world', 'something': 'more' }
console.log(message)
cb()
})
emitter.on('hello/+', function(message, cb) {
// will not be called
console.log(message)
cb()
})
emitter.emit({ topic: 'hello/my/world', something: 'more' })
emitter.emit({ topic: 'hello//world', something: 'more' })
```
The wildcard character `#` matches zero or more words:
```js
const mq = require('mqemitter')
const emitter = mq()
emitter.on('hello/#', function(message, cb) {
// this will print { topic: 'hello/my/world', 'something': 'more' }
console.log(message)
cb()
})
emitter.on('#', function(message, cb) {
// this will print { topic: 'hello/my/world', 'something': 'more' }
console.log(message)
cb()
})
emitter.on('hello/my/world/#', function(message, cb) {
// this will print { topic: 'hello/my/world', 'something': 'more' }
console.log(message)
cb()
})
emitter.emit({ topic: 'hello/my/world', something: 'more' })
```
Of course, you can mix `#` and `+` in the same subscription.
