[![Build Status](https://camo.githubusercontent.com/29e2acac5567fd3b0b9cbd622f685cfee52fdae0dc24532f2c6aeb15102441d8/68747470733a2f2f7472617669732d63692e6f72672f627261696e637261667465642f6d712e706e673f6272616e63683d6d6173746572)](https://travis-ci.org/braincrafted/mq)

An asynchronous message queue implemented in PHP (mostly for fun and pleasure).

By [Florian Eckerstorfer](https://florian.ec).

Installation
------------

[](#installation)

The recommended way of installing BcMq is through [Composer](http://getcomposer.org):

```
{
    "require": {
        "braincrafted/mq": "dev-master"
    }
}
```

Usage
-----

[](#usage)

BcMq requires two distinct scripts, a server and a consumer. The server needs to run as long new messages should be accepted. Whenever a new message arrives the server invokes the consumer in the background and instantley closes the connection.

Messages can be produced using the included producer or by writing a JSON object to the configured port.

There are examples for server, consumer and producer in the `examples` directory.

- [`server.php`](https://github.com/braincrafted/mq/blob/master/examples/server.php)
- [`consumer.php`](https://github.com/braincrafted/mq/blob/master/examples/consumer.php)
- [`producer.php`](https://github.com/braincrafted/mq/blob/master/examples/producer.php)
