This fork of phpnats by repejota that supports more recent versions of NATS (2.2.0-beta) and contains little improvements to fit more into PHP7 world. Requirements ------------ [](#requirements) - php 7.1+ - [gnatsd](https://github.com/apcera/gnatsd) Usage ----- [](#usage) ### Installation [](#installation) Let's start by downloading composer into our project dir: ``` curl -O http://getcomposer.org/composer.phar chmod +x composer.phar ``` Now let's tell composer about our project's dependancies, in this case, PHPNats. The way we do this is by creating a composer.json file, and placing it in the root folder of our project, right next to composer.phar ``` { "require": { "workfront/nats": "^2.2.3" } } ``` Let's let Composer work its magic: ``` php composer.phar install ``` Composer will download all the dependencies defined in composer.json, and prepare all the files needed to autoload them. ### Basic Usage [](#basic-usage) ``` $client = new \Nats\Connection(); $client->connect(); // Publish Subscribe // Simple Subscriber. $client->subscribe( 'foo', function ($message) { printf("Data: %s\r\n", $message->getBody()); } ); // Simple Publisher. $client->publish('foo', 'Marty McFly'); // Wait for 1 message. $client->wait(1); // Request Response // Responding to requests. $sid = $client->subscribe( 'sayhello', function ($message) { $message->reply('Reply: Hello, '.$message->getBody().' !!!'); } ); // Request. $client->request( 'sayhello', 'Marty McFly', function ($message) { echo $message->getBody(); } ); ``` ### Encoded Connections [](#encoded-connections) ``` $encoder = new \Nats\Encoders\JSONEncoder(); $options = new \Nats\ConnectionOptions(); $client = new \Nats\EncodedConnection($options, $encoder); $client->connect(); // Publish Subscribe // Simple Subscriber. $client->subscribe( 'foo', function ($payload) { printf("Data: %s\r\n", $payload->getBody()[1]); } ); // Simple Publisher. $client->publish( 'foo', [ 'Marty', 'McFly', ] ); // Wait for 1 message. $client->wait(1); // Request Response // Responding to requests. $sid = $client->subscribe( 'sayhello', function ($message) { $message->reply('Reply: Hello, '.$message->getBody()[1].' !!!'); } ); // Request. $client->request( 'sayhello', [ 'Marty', 'McFly', ], function ($message) { echo $message->getBody(); } ); ``` Developer's Information ----------------------- [](#developers-information) ### Releases [](#releases) - [Latest stable](https://github.com/Workfront/phpnats/tree/master) - [Latest dev](https://github.com/Workfront/phpnats/tree/develop) - [PHPNats on Packagist](https://packagist.org/packages/Workfront/phpnats) ### Tests [](#tests) Tests are in the `tests` folder. To run them, you need `PHPUnit` and execute `make test-tdd`. We also have a BDD test suite under the `spec` folder. To run the suite, you need `PHPSpec` and execute `make test-bdd`. You can also execute the all suites ( TDD + BDD ) with `make test`. ### Code Quality [](#code-quality) We are using [PHP Code Sniffer](http://pear.php.net/package/PHP_CodeSniffer/docs)to ensure our code follow an high quality standard. To perform an analysis of the code execute `make lint`. There is currently three steps when we lint our code: - First we lint with php itself `php -l` - Then we lint with PSR2 standard - And finally we lint with a custom [ruleset.xml](https://github.com/repejota/phpnats/blob/feature/lint-squiz/ruleset.xml) that checks dockblocks and different performance tips.
