Symfony messenger outbox pattern
================================

[](#symfony-messenger-outbox-pattern)

[![CI](https://github.com/creatortsv/symfony-messenger-outbox-pattern/actions/workflows/php.yml/badge.svg)](https://github.com/creatortsv/symfony-messenger-outbox-pattern/actions/workflows/php.yml)

This package is an extension for the [symfony/messenger](https://symfony.com/doc/current/components/messenger.html) component that implements the [Transactional outbox](https://microservices.io/patterns/data/transactional-outbox.html) pattern. It provides the special middleware that navigates your original message to the message broker through the outbox transport

Configuration
-------------

[](#configuration)

This guide shows how the symfony messenger component should be configured

### Configure transports

[](#configure-transports)

```
# config/packages/messenger.yaml

framework:
    messenger:

        transports:
        ### Your default async message transport for any purpose
            async: '%env(resolve:MESSENGER_TRANSPORT_DNS)%'
        ### Outbox transport, for example:
        ### outbox: '%env(resolve:MESSENGER_TRANSPORT_DNS)%'
        ### outbox: 'doctrine://%env(resolve:DATABASE_URL)%'
        ### outbox: 'doctrine://default?table_name=outbox&queue_name=custom'
            outbox: 'doctrine://default'
        ### Advance stored outbox transport
            stored:

    ### routing: ...
```

### Configure message bus

[](#configure-message-bus)

```
# config/packages/messenger.yaml

framework:
    messenger:
        buses:
        ### Configure message bus that will be used with middleware from this package
            event.bus:
            ### Default middlewares must be enabled
                default_middleware:
                    enabled: true
                    allow_no_handlers: true

                middleware:
                ### Add the middleware with configured outbox transport name or/and advanced names
                ### - Creatortsv\Messenger\Outbox\Middleware\SwitchToOutboxMiddleware: [ outbox, store, logs ]
                    - Creatortsv\Messenger\Outbox\Middleware\SwitchToOutboxMiddleware: [ outbox ]

    ### transports: ... Outbox transport configuration

    ### routing: ...
```

Usage
-----

[](#usage)

```
readonly class UserService
{
    public function __construct(
        private EntityManagerInterface $entityManager,
        private MessageBusInterface $eventBus,
    ) {
        // ...
    }

    public function register(User $user): void
    {
        $this->entityManager->wrapInTransaction(
            function () use ($user): void {
            /** Persist user in DB ... */

                $this->entityManager->flush();
                $this->eventBus->dispatch(new UserRegistered($user->id));
            },
        );
    }
}
```

Run outbox consumer
-------------------

[](#run-outbox-consumer)

Run consumer with outbox transport name

```
php bin/console messenger:consume [name]
```

Each message which is consumed by the worker will be automatically sent to the original transport, thanks to the `SwitchToOutboxMiddleware` class
