Replying to a Message
Incoming messages have an optional reply-to field. If that field is set, it will contain a subject to which a reply is expected.
For example, the following code will listen for that request and respond with the time.
nc, err := nats.Connect("demo.nats.io")
if err != nil {
log.Fatal(err)
}
defer nc.Close()
// Subscribe
sub, err := nc.SubscribeSync("time")
if err != nil {
log.Fatal(err)
}
// Read a message
msg, err := sub.NextMsg(10 * time.Second)
if err != nil {
log.Fatal(err)
}
// Get the time
timeAsBytes := []byte(time.Now().String())
// Send the time as the response.
msg.Respond(timeAsBytes)
Connection nc = Nats.connect("nats://demo.nats.io:4222");
// Subscribe
Subscription sub = nc.subscribe("time");
// Read a message
Message msg = sub.nextMessage(Duration.ZERO);
// Get the time
Calendar cal = Calendar.getInstance();
SimpleDateFormat sdf = new SimpleDateFormat("HH:mm:ss");
byte[] timeAsBytes = sdf.format(cal.getTime()).getBytes(StandardCharsets.UTF_8);
// Send the time
nc.publish(msg.getReplyTo(), timeAsBytes);
// Flush and close the connection
nc.flush(Duration.ZERO);
nc.close();
let nc = NATS.connect({
url: "nats://demo.nats.io:4222"
});
// set up a subscription to process a request
nc.subscribe('time', (msg, reply) => {
if (msg.reply) {
nc.publish(msg.reply, new Date().toLocaleTimeString());
}
});
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("time", cb=cb)
await nc.publish_request("time", new_inbox(), b'What is the time?')
await nc.flush()
# Read the message
msg = await asyncio.wait_for(future, 1)
# Send the time
time_as_bytes = "{}".format(datetime.now()).encode()
await nc.publish(msg.reply, time_as_bytes)
require 'nats/client'
require 'fiber'
NATS.start(servers:["nats://127.0.0.1:4222"]) do |nc|
Fiber.new do
f = Fiber.current

end
