gobeanstalk is a beanstalkd client for Go.

[中文文档] (https://github.com/liuzhengyang/gobeanstalk/blob/master/README-zh_CN.md)

Now it's a quite simple implementation. I'll keep improving and refactoring it.

Introduction

beanstalkd is a fast, general-purpose work queue. Difference with crontab jobs: Contab job run with specified period or at some point. But beanstalk can run with a delayed time.

Some use scenarios:

• Check whether user finish the order in 5 minutes.
• Start a process in one minutes.

Implemented Commands

• use
• watch
• delete
• put
• put-with-tube
• reserve
• reserve-with-timeout
• quit
• ignore

How to use

Mac

Install And Start Beanstalk server

git clone https://github.com/kr/beanstalkd
cd beanstalkd
make
./beanstalkd

Examples

go get github.com/liuzhengyang/gobeanstalk

create a test.go file

package main

import (
	"fmt"
	"github.com/liuzhengyang/gobeanstalk"
)

func main() {
	addr := "localhost:11300"  // define server address
	newConn := gobeanstalk.NewConnection(addr)   // create new connection
	channel := make(chan int)   // create int channel
	putFunc := func() {
		// define a function which put some message to one tube
		id, _ := newConn.PutWithTube("hello", "test2", 1)
		channel <- id
	}
	go putFunc()   // run previous function in a go-routine
	id := <-channel  // wait until we finish putting
	fmt.Printf("Receive from channel message of another goroutine %d\n", id)
	listenChannel := make(chan string)  // make a listen channel for receiving results
	dealFunc := func(body string) bool {
		// define a function to deal with tube messages
		fmt.Printf("receive %s\n", body)
		listenChannel <- body
		return true
	}
	go newConn.Listen("test2", dealFunc)  // run deal function in a specified go-routing
	body := <-listenChannel     // wait our message
	fmt.Printf("Listen once %s\n", body)
	newConn.Close()   // Close connection
}

And run this

go run test.go
