# cloud-pubsub
Provides methods to consume messages from Google PubSub using
[Futures](https://github.com/rust-lang-nursery/futures-rs)
and [Hyper](https://hyper.rs).
## Authentication
Authentication is provided by [rust-goauth](https://github.com/durch/rust-goauth).
The `BaseClient` expects to receive the path to the file containing your Google Cloud
service account JSON key.
### Token Renewal
The JWT token has a short life time and needs to be renewed periodically for long lived processes.
There is a provided helper which will renew the token every `15 mins`:
```rs
let pubsub = match BaseClient::create(config.google_application_credentials) {
Err(e) => panic!("Failed to initialize pubsub: {}", e),
Ok(p) => p,
};
}))
```
### Env Config
[Envy](https://github.com/softprops/envy) is an excellent way to load your config.
```rs
#[derive(Deserialize)]
struct Config {
pubsub_subscription: String,
google_application_credentials: String,
}
fn main() {
let parsed_env = envy::from_env::<Config>();
if let Err(e) = parsed_env {
eprintln!("ENV is not valid: {}", e);
std::process::exit(1);
}
let config = parsed_env.unwrap();
let pubsub = match BaseClient::create(config.google_application_credentials) {
Err(e) => panic!("Failed to initialize pubsub: {}", e),
Ok(p) => p,
};
}
```
### Log Config
In order to produce log output, executables have to use a logger implementation compatible with the log facade.
There are many available implementations to chose from, for example:
[env_logger](https://github.com/sebasmagri/env_logger/) is an excellent way to log in your executables.
```toml
[dependencies]
log = "0.4"
env_logger = "0.7"
```
```rs
fn main() {
env_logger::init();
info!("starting up");
// ...
}
```
## Subscribing
### Connecting to existing subscription
```rs
let sub = my_client.subscribe("subscription-name")
```
### Subscribing to a topic
When subscribing to a topic, a random subscription name will be generated. To prevent dangling
subscriptions, you need to explicitly call `subscription.destroy()`.
