php-redis-pubsub
================

[](#php-redis-pubsub)

This is a lightweight PHP client for asynchronous Redis pub/sub functionality with TLS and authentication. It uses PHP's inbuilt stream functions and has no external dependencies.

The target use case is for a long-running process that is subscribed to one or more Redis channels and needs to process incoming messages in a timely fashion, but also has other stuff to do.

It also supports a simple publishing interface. This is suitable for apps that need to publish messages to a Redis channel, but don't otherwise interact with Redis.

This is *not* intended to be a full-featured Redis client. That space is extremely well covered by other extensions and packages.

This package requires PHP 8.0 or later.

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

[](#installation)

Via composer:

```
composer require jdwx/redis-pubsub
```

Usage
-----

[](#usage)

### Publisher:

[](#publisher)

```
use JDWX\RedisPubSub\RedisPubSub;

# By default, a connection is made to localhost:6379 without TLS.
$rps = new RedisPubSub();
$rps->publish( 'test', 'Hello, world!' );
```

### Subscriber:

[](#subscriber)

```
use JDWX\RedisPubSub\RedisPubSub;

# TLS is enabled by providing the paths to the client certificate and key, and,
# optionally, the CA certificate if the server should be verified.
$rps = new RedisPubSub( 'localhost', 6379, './client.crt', './client.key', './ca.crt' );

# Perform authentication.
$rps->auth( 'password' );

# Subscribe to a channel.
$rps->subscribe( 'test' );

# This will block until a message is received.
$msg = $rps->recv();

# This will not block if there are no pending messages.
$msg = $rps->tryRecv();

# This will wait for up to 5 seconds for a message to return.
$msg = $rps->tryRecv( 5.0 );

# This will wait for a message for up to 5 seconds without returning it.
$msg = $rps->tryWait( 5.0 );

# A callback function.
function MyCallback( array $msg ) : void {
    var_dump( $msg );
}

# This will pass all messages currently in the queue to the callback function,
# one at a time.
$rps->recvAll( 'MyCallback' );

# This will wait 5 seconds for messages to arrive, passing them one at a time
# to the callback function.
$rps->recvAllWait( 5.0, 'MyCallback' );
```
