Nanomsg is a modern messaging library that is the successor to ZeroMQ, written in C by Martin Sustrik and colleagues. The nanomsg library is licensed under MIT/X11 license. "nanomsg" is a trademark of 250bpm s.r.o.
- Nanomsg 1.1.4
Installing nanomsg:
make deps
[dependencies]
nanomsg = "0.7.2"Simply import the crate to use it:
use nanomsg;The basis of Nanomsg is a Socket. Each socket can be of a certain type. The type of a socket defines it's behaviour and limitations (such as only being able to send and not receive).
use nanomsg::{Socket, Protocol, Error};
/// Creating a new `Pull` socket type. Pull sockets can only receive messages
/// from a `Push` socket type.
fn create_socket() -> Result<(), Error> {
let mut socket = Socket::new(Protocol::Pull)?;
Ok(())
}Now, each socket that is created can be bound to multiple endpoints. Each binding can return an error, so
we'll take advantage of the ? (try) operator.
use nanomsg::{Socket, Protocol, Error};
/// Creating a new `Pull` socket type. Pull sockets can only receive messages
/// from a `Push` socket type.
fn create_socket() -> Result<(), Error> {
let mut socket = Socket::new(Protocol::Pull)?;
// Create a new endpoint bound to the following protocol string. This returns
// a new `Endpoint` that lives at-most the lifetime of the original socket.
let mut endpoint = socket.bind("ipc:///tmp/pipeline.ipc")?;
Ok(())
}The socket is ready to be used now!
Because this is a Pull socket, we'll implement reading any messages we receive.
// ... After the endpoint we created, we'll start reading some data.
let mut msg = String::new();
loop {
socket.read_to_string(&mut msg)?;
println!("We got a message: {}", &*msg);
msg.clear();
}
// ...That's awesome! But... we have no packets being sent to the socket, so we'll read nothing. To fix this, let's implement the accompanying pair Push socket.
use nanomsg::{Socket, Protocol, Error};
fn pusher() -> Result<(), Error> {
let mut socket = Socket::new(Protocol::Push)?;
let mut endpoint = socket.connect("ipc:///tmp/pipeline.ipc")?;
socket.write(b"message in a bottle");
endpoint.shutdown();
Ok(())
