//!
//! A lightweight message queue. Like [AWS SQS](https://aws.amazon.com/sqs/) and [RSMQ](https://github.com/smrchy/rsmq) but on Postgres.
//!
//! ## Features
//!
//! - Lightweight - No background worker or external dependencies, just Postgres and Rust
//! - Guaranteed "exactly once" delivery of messages to a consumer within a visibility timeout
//! - API parity with [AWS SQS](https://aws.amazon.com/sqs/) and [RSMQ](https://github.com/smrchy/rsmq)
//! - [FIFO](docs/fifo-queues.md#overview) (First-In-First-Out) queues with message group keys for ordered processing
//! - [Topic-based](docs/topics.md#topic-based-routing) routing with wildcard patterns for publish-subscribe and content-based routing
//! - Messages stay in the queue until explicitly removed
//! - Messages can be archived, instead of deleted, for long-term retention and replayability
//! - Completely asynchronous API
//!
//! Supported on Postgres 14-18.
//!
//! Not building in Rust? Try the [PGMQ Postgres extension](https://pgt.dev/extensions/pgmq).
//!
//! ## Installing PGMQ
//!
//! PGMQ can be installed on any existing Postgres instance or installed as a Postgres Extension.
//! See [INSTALLATION.md](https://github.com/pgmq/pgmq/blob/main/INSTALLATION.md) for the full
//! installation guide including a [comparison](https://github.com/pgmq/pgmq/blob/main/INSTALLATION.md#considerations)
//! of the Postgres Extension vs the SQL-only installation.
//!
//! ### Postgres Extension
//!
//! The fastest way to get started with the extension is by running the Docker image, where PGMQ
//! comes pre-installed as an extension in Postgres.
//!
//! ```bash
//! docker run -d --name pgmq-postgres -e POSTGRES_PASSWORD=postgres -p 5432:5432 ghcr.io/pgmq/pg18-pgmq:v1.10.0
//! ```
//!
//! Then connect and enable PGMQ:
//!
//! ```bash
//! psql postgres://postgres:postgres@localhost:5432/postgres
//! ```
//!
//! ```sql
//! CREATE EXTENSION pgmq;
//! ```
//!
//! ### Versioned SQL-only installation
//!
//! PGMQ can also be installed into any existing Postgres database using this Rust client. This is useful if the PGMQ extension
//! is not supported by your PostgreSQL instance. The installation performed by the Rust client is versioned, which means
//! it can be used to perform a fresh installation of PGMQ, or it can upgrade an existing installation to a newer version.
//!
//! Two installation methods are supported. One method uses SQL scripts embedded in the Rust crate, while the other fetches
//! the SQL scripts from the PGMQ GitHub repo. The embedded approach does not require external network requests but only
//! supports installing (or upgrading to) the version bundled with the crate. The GitHub approach requires several network
//! requests to GitHub, but allows installing (or upgrading to) any version available in the repo.
//!
//! #### Create the DB
//!
//! Run standard Postgres using Docker:
//!
//! ```bash
//! docker run -d -e POSTGRES_PASSWORD=postgres -p 5432:5432 postgres:latest
//! ```
//!
//! #### Initialize applied migrations table
//!
//! In crate versions < 0.33.0, the crate did not track which SQL scripts had already been run, which makes upgrading to a
//! new version difficult. To switch from the old approach to the new approach, first perform the "initialize applied
//! migrations table" workflow.
//!
//! This method is not needed for fresh installations, or if the new SQL-only installation method was used to install PGMQ.
//!
//! ##### Via the CLI
//!
//! ```shell
//! # Install the PGMQ Rust CLI
//! cargo install pgmq --features cli --bin pgmq-cli
//! # Replace the DB url and the version
//! pgmq-cli install -d postgres://postgres:postgres@localhost:5432/postgres init-migrations-table -v 1.9.0
//! ```
//!
//! ##### In Rust
//!
//! Add PGMQ to your `Cargo.toml` with the `install-sql` feature enabled:
//!
//! ```bash
//! cargo add pgmq --features install-sql
//! ```
//!
//! ```rust,no_run
//! // Requires the `install-sql` feature
//! #[cfg(feature = "install-sql")]
//! async fn init_migrations_table(pool: sqlx::Pool<sqlx::Postgres>) -> Result<(), pgmq::PgmqError> {
//!     let queue = pgmq::PGMQueueExt::new_with_pool(pool).await;
//!     // Replace the version
//!     queue.init_migrations_table("1.9.0").await?;
//!     Ok(())
//! }
//! ```
//!
//! #### Install using the embedded scripts
//!
//! ##### Via CLI
//!
//! ```bash
//! # Install the PGMQ Rust CLI
//! cargo install pgmq --features cli --bin pgmq-cli
//! # Replace the DB url
//! pgmq-cli install -d postgres://postgres:postgres@localhost:5432/postgres install-from-embedded
//! ```
//!
//! ##### In Rust
//!
//! See also, the [install example](examples/install.rs)
//!
//! Add PGMQ to your `Cargo.toml` with the `install-sql-embedded` feature enabled:
//!
//! ```bash
//! cargo add pgmq --features install-sql-embedded
//! ```
//!
//! ```rust,no_run
//! // Requires the `install-sql-embedded` feature
//! #[cfg(feature = "install-sql-embedded")]
//! async fn install_sql(pool: sqlx::Pool<sqlx::Postgres>) -> Result<(), pgmq::PgmqError> {
//!     let queue = pgmq::PGMQueueExt::new_with_pool(pool).await;
//!     queue.install_sql_from_embedded().await?;
//!     Ok(())
//! }
//! ```
//!
//! #### Install using the scripts fetched from GitHub
//!
//! ##### Via CLI
//!
//! ```bash
//! # Install the PGMQ Rust CLI
//! cargo install pgmq --features cli --bin pgmq-cli
//! # Replace the DB url and the version
//! pgmq-cli install -d postgres://postgres:postgres@localhost:5432/postgres install-from-github -v 1.9.0
//! ```
//!
//! ##### In Rust
//!
//! See also, the [install example](examples/install.rs)
//!
//! Add PGMQ to your `Cargo.toml` with the `install-sql-github` feature enabled:
//!
//! ```bash
//! cargo add pgmq --features install-sql-github
//! ```
//!
//! ```rust,no_run
//! // Requires the `install-sql-github` feature
//! #[cfg(feature = "install-sql-github")]
//! async fn install_sql(pool: sqlx::Pool<sqlx::Postgres>) -> Result<(), pgmq::PgmqError> {
//!     let queue = pgmq::PGMQueueExt::new_with_pool(pool).await;
//!     queue.install_sql_from_github(Some("1.9.0")).await?;
//!     Ok(())
//! }
//! ```
//!
//! ## Sending messages
//!
//! You can send one message at a time with `queue.send()` or several with `queue.send_batch()`.
//! The message can be any type that implements `serde::Serialize`. This means you can prepare
//! your messages as JSON with `serde_json::json!(...)` or as a dedicated struct.
//!
//! ## Reading messages
//!
//! Messages can be parsed as `serde_json::Value` or into a struct. `queue.read()` returns a
//! `Result<Option<Message<T>>, PGMQError>` where `T` is the type of the message on the queue.
//! It returns an error when there is an issue parsing the message ([`PgmqError::JsonParsingError`]
//! or if PGMQ is unable to reach postgres ([`PgmqError::DatabaseError`]).
//!
//! Read a single message with `queue.read()` or as many as you want with `queue.read_batch()`.
//!
//! ## Visibility Timeout (vt)
//!
//! PGMQ guarantees exactly once delivery of a message within a visibility timeout (`vt`). The
//! visibility timeout is the amount of time a message is invisible to other consumers after it has
//! been read by a consumer. If the message is NOT deleted or archived within the visibility timeout,
//! it will become visible again and can be read by another consumer. The visibility timeout is set
//! when a message is read from the queue, via `queue.read()`. It is recommended to set a `vt` value
//! that is greater than the expected time it takes to process a message. After the application
//! successfully processes the message, it should call `queue.delete()` to completely remove the
//! message from the queue or `queue.archive()` to move it to the archive table for the queue.
//!
//! ## Archive or Delete a message
//!
//! Remove the message from the queue when you are done with it. You can either completely
//! delete the message using `queue.delete()`, or archive it using `queue.archive()`. Archived
//! messages are deleted from the queue and inserted to the queue's archive table. Deleted messages
//! are simply deleted.
//!
//! The Rust client does not provide a method to retrieve message from the archive. If necessary,
//! they can be retrieved using plain SQL:
//!
//! ```sql
//! SELECT * FROM pgmq.a_{your_queue_name};
//! ```
//!
//! ## Minimal example
//!
//! Below is a minimal example of how to use the crate. More advanced examples can be found in
//! [examples](https://github.com/pgmq/pgmq/tree/main/pgmq-rs/examples) and
//! [tests](https://github.com/pgmq/pgmq/tree/main/pgmq-rs/tests).
//!
//! ```rust,no_run
//! use pgmq::{PgmqError, Message, PGMQueueExt};
//! use serde::{Deserialize, Serialize};
//! use serde_json::Value;
//!
//! #[tokio::main]
//! async fn main() -> Result<(), PgmqError> {
//!
//!     // Initialize a connection to Postgres
//!     println!("Connecting to Postgres");
//!     let queue: PGMQueueExt = PGMQueueExt::new("postgres://postgres:postgres@0.0.0.0:5432".to_owned(), 1)
//!         .await
//!         .expect("Failed to connect to postgres");
//!
//!     // Create a queue
//!     println!("Creating a queue 'my_queue'");
//!     let my_queue = "my_example_queue".to_string();
//!     queue.create(&my_queue).await?;
//!
//!     // Structure a message
//!     #[derive(Debug, Serialize, Deserialize)]
//!     struct MyMessage {
//!         foo: String,
//!     }
//!     let message = MyMessage {
//!         foo: "bar".to_string(),
//!     };
//!     // Send the message
//!     let message_id: i64 = queue.send(&my_queue, &message).await?;
//!
//!     // Use a visibility timeout of 30 seconds. Once read, the message will be unable to be read
//!     // until the visibility timeout expires.
//!     let visibility_timeout_seconds: i32 = 30;
//!
//!     // Read a message
//!     let received_message: Message<MyMessage> = queue
//!         .read(&my_queue, visibility_timeout_seconds)
//!         .await?
//!         .expect("No messages available to read from the queue");
//!     println!("Received a message: {:?}", received_message);
//!
//!     assert_eq!(received_message.msg_id, message_id);
//!
//!     // archive the messages
//!     queue.archive(&my_queue, received_message.msg_id).await?;
//!     println!("archived the messages from the queue");
//!
//!     Ok(())
//! }
//! ```
