```

Writing an Adapter
------------------

[](#writing-an-adapter)

You can easily write your own custom adapter by implementing the [PubSubAdapterInterface](src/PubSubAdapterInterface.php) interface.

Your adapter must implement the following methods:

```
/**
 * Subscribe a handler to a channel.
 *
 * @param string $channel
 * @param callable $handler
 */
public function subscribe($channel, callable $handler);

/**
 * Publish a message to a channel.
 *
 * @param string $channel
 * @param mixed $message
 */
public function publish($channel, $message);

/**
 * Publish multiple messages to a channel.
 *
 * @param string $channel
 * @param array $messages
 */
public function publishBatch($channel, array $messages);
```

Examples
--------

[](#examples)

The library comes with [examples](examples) for all adapters and a [Dockerfile](Dockerfile) for running the example scripts.

Run `make up`.

You will start at a `bash` prompt in the `/opt/php-pubsub` directory.

If you need another shell to publish a message to a blocking consumer, you can run `docker-compose run php-pubsub /bin/bash`

To run the examples:

```
$ php examples/LocalExample.php
```
