Asynchronous Subscriptions
Asynchronous subscriptions use callbacks of some form to notify an application when a message arrives. These subscriptions are usually easier to work with, but do represent some form of internal work and resource usage, i.e. threads, by the library. Check your library's documentation for any resource usage associated with asynchronous subscriptions.
The following example subscribes to the subject updates
and handles the incoming messages:
nc, err := nats.Connect("demo.nats.io")
if err != nil {
log.Fatal(err)
}
defer nc.Close()
// Use a WaitGroup to wait for a message to arrive
wg := sync.WaitGroup{}
wg.Add(1)
// Subscribe
if _, err := nc.Subscribe("updates", func(m *nats.Msg) {
wg.Done()
}); err != nil {
log.Fatal(err)
}
// Wait for a message to come in
wg.Wait()
Connection nc = Nats.connect("nats://demo.nats.io:4222");
// Use a latch to wait for a message to arrive
CountDownLatch latch = new CountDownLatch(1);
// Create a dispatcher and inline message handler
Dispatcher d = nc.createDispatcher((msg) -> {
String str = new String(msg.getData(), StandardCharsets.UTF_8);
System.out.println(str);
latch.countDown();
});
// Subscribe
d.subscribe("updates");
// Wait for a message to come in
latch.await();
// Close the connection
nc.close();
let nc = NATS.connect({
url: "nats://demo.nats.io:4222"
});
nc.subscribe("updates", (msg) => {
t.log(msg);
});
nc = NATS()
await nc.connect(servers=["nats://demo.nats.io:4222"])
future = asyncio.Future()
async def cb(msg):
nonlocal future
future.set_result(msg)
await nc.subscribe("updates", cb=cb)
await nc.publish("updates", b'All is Well')
await nc.flush()
# Wait for message to come in
msg = await asyncio.wait_for(future, 1)
