A Devis plugin for message transport over Redis pub/sub

• App send messages to the applications that are interested in receiving the message without knowing the identities of the receivers
• Tight coupling of sender and receiver

• Extend the communcation infrastructure by including a topic for each message
• Enable listening apps to receive messages from only specified topics
• create a mecanism that sends messages to all interested receivers

This plugin solves this problem by using redis.

• Publisher : Sender apps that tag each message with the name of a topic.

• Sibscriber : Receiver apps that choose which topic to receive messages from.

• Pub/Sub server : This plugin

We should install Devis and the plugin :

$ npm install --save devis
$ npm install --save devis-pub_sub-redis

const devis = require("devis")
    .plug("devis-pub_sub-redis")

    //Create a subscriber
    .call({ role: "pub", action: "create" }, { pub: "pub1" }, (err, res) => {
        console.log(res);

    });

setTimeout(() => {
    devis.call({ transport: "pub/sub", action: "pubslish" }, { pub: "pub1", topic: "test", message: "new message" }, (err, res) => {
        console.log(res);
    });
}, 3000);

//Create a subscriber
devis.call({ role: "sub", action: "create" },{sub:"sub1"},(err,res)=>{
    console.log(res);
});
devis.call({ transport: "pub/sub", action: "subscribe" },{sub:"sub1",topic:"test"},(err,res)=>{
    console.log(res);
});

devis.listen({
    type: 'http',
    port: '8888',
    host: '127.0.0.1',
    protocol: 'http'
});
