ØMQ bindings for node.js.
$ npm install zmq-prebuilt
We rely on prebuild. Prepare to be amazed at the wonders of binaries.
To set up zmq-prebuilt for development, clone and fork this repository. If you are running on Linux
or OS X, you will need to have automake, autoconf, and libtools. These can be installed using brew.
$ ./build_libzmq.sh
$ npm install
You can run then run the test suite.
$ npm test
Or run some of the example applications.
$ node examples/subber.js
- OS X/Darwin 64-bit
- Linux 64-bit
- Windows (we'll get this one up soon, we're so close.)
Everywhere you used require(zmq) in your code base before, replace it with zmq-prebuilt.
// producer.js
var zmq = require('zmq-prebuilt')
, sock = zmq.socket('push');
sock.bindSync('tcp://127.0.0.1:3000');
console.log('Producer bound to port 3000');
setInterval(function(){
console.log('sending work');
sock.send('some work');
}, 500);// worker.js
var zmq = require('zmq-prebuilt')
, sock = zmq.socket('pull');
sock.connect('tcp://127.0.0.1:3000');
console.log('Worker connected to port 3000');
sock.on('message', function(msg){
console.log('work: %s', msg.toString());
});// pubber.js
var zmq = require('zmq-prebuilt')
, sock = zmq.socket('pub');
sock.bindSync('tcp://127.0.0.1:3000');
console.log('Publisher bound to port 3000');
setInterval(function(){
console.log('sending a multipart message envelope');
sock.send(['kitty cats', 'meow!']);
}, 500);// subber.js
var zmq = require('zmq-prebuilt')
, sock = zmq.socket('sub');
sock.connect('tcp://127.0.0.1:3000');
sock.subscribe('kitty cats');
console.log('Subscriber connected to port 3000');
sock.on('message', function(topic, message) {
console.log('received a message related to:', topic, 'containing message:', message);
});After an npm release, go through the following to create the actual prebuilds:
docker build -t zmqprebuilt .
docker run -it zmqprebuilt prebuild --all -u $GITHUB_TOKEN
From a Mac:
npm install
npm install -g prebuild
prebuild --all -u $GITHUB_TOKEN
