Welcome to pusher_rs - The long-missing Rust Pusher crate.

This library is still under heavy development. Currently in use by one of the projects I am working on. Open-sourcing it since it has matured to a good level.

A Rust client library for interacting with the Pusher Channels API. This library provides a simple and efficient way to integrate Pusher's real-time functionality into your Rust applications.

Features

• Connect to Pusher Channels
• Subscribe to public, private, presence, and private encrypted channels
• Publish events to channels
• Handle incoming events
• Automatic reconnection with exponential backoff
• Environment-based configuration
• Flexible channel management

Todo

• Support for Batch Triggers
• Improve error handling and logging
• Add comprehensive test suite
• Implement WebHooks support
• Optimize performance for high-load scenarios
• Create more detailed documentation and examples

Installation

Add this to your Cargo.toml:

[dependencies]
pusher-rs = { git = "https://github.com/chmod77/pusher-rs.git" }

If you want to use a specific branch or commit, you can specify it like this:

[dependencies]
pusher-rs = { git = "https://github.com/username/pusher-rs.git", branch = "main" }
# or
pusher-rs = { git = "https://github.com/username/pusher-rs.git", rev = "commit_hash" }

Configuration

The library uses environment variables for configuration. Create a .env file in your project root with the following variables:

PUSHER_APP_ID=your_app_id
PUSHER_KEY=your_app_key
PUSHER_SECRET=your_app_secret
PUSHER_CLUSTER=your_cluster
PUSHER_USE_TLS=true - this will enforce TLS

Usage

Initializing the client

use pusher_rs::{PusherClient, PusherConfig};

#[tokio::main]
async fn main() -> Result<(), Box<dyn std::error::Error>> {
    let config = PusherConfig::from_env()?;
    let mut client = PusherClient::new(config)?;

    // PusherClient::new(config).unwrap()
    
    client.connect().await?;

    Ok(())
}

Subscribing to a channel

client.subscribe("my-channel").await?;

Publishing an event

client.trigger("my-channel", "my-event", "Hello, Pusher!").await?;

Handling events

client.bind("my-event", |event| {
    println!("Received event: {:?}", event);
}).await?;

Working with encrypted channels

// Subscribe to an encrypted channel
client.subscribe_encrypted("private-encrypted-channel").await?;

// Publish to an encrypted channel
client.trigger_encrypted("private-encrypted-channel", "my-event", "Secret message").await?;

Channel Types

The library supports four types of channels:

• Public
• Private
• Presence
• Private Encrypted

Each channel type has specific features and authentication requirements.

Error Handling

The library uses a custom PusherError type for error handling. You can match on different error variants to handle specific error cases:

use pusher_rs::PusherError;

match client.connect().await {
    Ok(_) => println!("Connected successfully"),
    Err(PusherError::ConnectionError(e)) => println!("Connection error: {}", e),
    Err(PusherError::AuthError(e)) => println!("Authentication error: {}", e),
    Err(e) => println!("Other error: {}", e),
}

Advanced Usage

Custom Configuration

While the library defaults to using environment variables, you can also create a custom configuration:

use pusher_rs::PusherConfig;
use std::time::Duration;

let config = PusherConfig {
    app_id: "your_app_id".to_string(),
    app_key: "your_app_key".to_string(),
    app_secret: "your_app_secret".to_string(),
    cluster: "your_cluster".to_string(),
    use_tls: true,
    host: Some("custom.pusher.com".to_string()),
    max_reconnection_attempts: 10,
    backoff_interval: Duration::from_secs(2),
    activity_timeout: Duration::from_secs(180),
    pong_timeout: Duration::from_secs(45),
};

Channel Management

The library provides a ChannelList struct for managing subscribed channels:

let mut channel_list = ChannelList::new();
let channel = Channel::new("my-channel");
channel_list.add(channel);

if let Some(channel) = channel_list.get("my-channel") {
    println!("Channel type: {:?}", channel.channel_type());
}

Tests

Integration tests live under tests/integration_tests

Just run cargo test --test integration_tests -- --nocapture to start.

More tests are being added. This section will be updated accordingly.
