SocketMQ

Library for building application in ZeroMQ-like messaging semantics end to end. Build upon node.js and Engine.IO

Introduction

ZeroMQ has introduced a completely new way for how we can exchange messages and resolve different messaging related problems in a much simpler and elegant way. But it's limited in your internal trusted network. Why not to make it avaliable for all the devices/members of your entire messaging process?

By combining ZeroMQ and Engine.IO the two great libs together, SocketMQ simply makes the ZeroMQ-like semantics avaliable for clients which support Engine.IO. You can build application in same sets of messaging semantics/patterns end to end. Thus, it makes your event-driven realtime architecture much easier to implement.

Example

Request-Reply

server.js

  var SocketMQ = require('socketmq');
  var context = SocketMQ.listen(8888, '127.0.0.1');

  var responder = context.socket('rep');

  responder.bind('news://', function(err) {
    if (err) throw err;
    
    console.log('Reply socket bound news:// at 127.0.0.1:8888');

    responder.on('message', function(data) {
      console.log('Server got message: ' + data);
      responder.send('World');
    });
  });

client.js

  var SocketMQ = require('socketmq');
  var context = SocketMQ.connect('http://127.0.0.1:8888');

  var requester = context.socket('req');

  requester.connect('news://');

  requester.on('message', function(data){
    console.log('Client got message: ' + data);
    setTimeout(function(){
      requester.send('Hello');  
    }, 300);
  });

  requester.send('Hello');

Publish-Subscribe

pub.js

SocketMQ can listen to the existing httpServer instance.

  var SocketMQ = require('socketmq');
  var http = require('http');
  var server = http.createServer().listen(8888, '127.0.0.1');
  var context = SocketMQ.listen(server);

  var publisher = context.socket('pub');

  publisher.bind('weather://', function(err) {
    if (err) throw err;

    console.log('Publish socket bound weather:// at 127.0.0.1:8888');

    setInterval(function() {
      publisher.send('AAA message');
      publisher.send('BBB message');
    }, 300);
  });s

sub.js

  var SocketMQ = require('socketmq');
  var context = SocketMQ.connect('http://127.0.0.1:8888');

  var subscriber = context.socket('sub');
  subscriber.connect('weather://');
  subscriber.subscribe('BBB');

  subscriber.on('message', function(data) {
    console.log('Subscriber got message: ' + data);
  });

Push-Pull

pusher.js

  var SocketMQ = require('socketmq');
  var context = SocketMQ.listen(8888, '127.0.0.1');

  var pusher = context.socket('push');
  pusher.bind('task://', function(err) {
    if (err) throw err;

    console.log('Push socket bound task:// at 127.0.0.1:8888');

    setInterval(function() {
      pusher.send("Pusher's workload");
    });
  });

puller.js

  var SocketMQ = require('socketmq');
  var context = SocketMQ.listen('http://127.0.0.1:8888');

  var puller = context.socket('pull');
  puller.connect('task://');

  puller.on('message', function(data) {
    console.log("Puller got task: " + data);
  });
