gcp-pub-sub

Easy to use google's pub sub event system for typescript

Introduction

This package aims to implement a event based system using Google Cloud Platform's pub/sub system.

Initialization

PubSub needs to be configured before it can be used. For the authentication part, refer to google-auth-library.

Make sure this file is loaded before you declare any events

import { config } from 'gcp-pub-sub'

config.init({
    subscription: 'my-subscription-name', // this can also be a function to generate subscription name on runtime
    projectId: 'my-gcp-project-id', // this is optional. If not provied then it will be inferred from your credentials
    defaultTopic: 'my-topic', // This topic will be used for all events by default. However, you can also provide a different topic when creating events
})

Creating Events

Events are created using event function. Example:

import { event } from 'gcp-pub-sub'

export const myEvent = event<{
    someEventData: string
    anotherEventData: string
}>().create('myEvent')

Consuming Events

events.ts

import { event } from 'gcp-pub-sub'

export const myEvent = event<{
    someEventData: string
    anotherEventData: string
}>().create('myEvent')

myEvent.subscribe((eventData) => {
    console.log(
        `SomeEventData = ${eventData.data.someEventData}, EventName = ${eventData.attributes.event}`
    )
})

consumer.ts

import './events.ts' // to make sure events are loaded in memory
import { runConsumer } from 'gcp-pub-sub'

runConsumer()

then execute

ts-node consumer.ts
