Microsoft Azure Service Bus Client for Golang

Microsoft Azure Service Bus is a reliable cloud messaging service (MaaS) which simplifies enterprise cloud messaging. It enables developers to build scalable cloud solutions and implement complex messaging workflows over an efficient binary protocol called AMQP.

This library provides a simple interface for sending, receiving and managing Service Bus entities such as Queues, Topics and Subscriptions.

For more information about Service Bus, check out the Azure documentation.

This library is a pure Golang implementation of Azure Service Bus over AMQP.

Preview of Service Bus for Golang

This library is currently a preview. There may be breaking interface changes until it reaches semantic version v1.0.0. If you run into an issue, please don't hesitate to log a new issue or open a pull request.

Installing the library

To more reliably manage dependencies in your application we recommend golang/dep.

With dep:

dep ensure -add github.com/Azure/azure-service-bus-go

With go get:

go get -u github.com/Azure/azure-service-bus-go/...

If you need to install Go, follow the official instructions

Using Service Bus

In this section we'll cover some basics of the library to help you get started.

Quick start

Let's send and receive "hello, world!".

package main

import (
	"context"
	"fmt"
	"os"
	"os/signal"

	"github.com/Azure/azure-service-bus-go"
)

func main() {
	connStr := os.Getenv("SERVICEBUS_CONNECTION_STRING")
	ns, err := servicebus.NewNamespace(servicebus.NamespaceWithConnectionString(connStr))
	if err != nil {
		// handle error
	}

	// Initialize and create a Service Bus Queue named helloworld if it doesn't exist
	queueName := "helloworld"
	q, err := ns.NewQueue(queueName)
	if err != nil {
		// handle queue creation error
	}

	// Send message to the Queue named helloworld
	err = q.Send(context.Background(), servicebus.NewMessageFromString("Hello World!"))
	if err != nil {
		// handle message send error
	}

	// Receive message from queue named helloworld
	listenHandle, err := q.Receive(context.Background(),
		func(ctx context.Context, msg *servicebus.Message) servicebus.DispositionAction {
			fmt.Println(string(msg.Data))
			return msg.Accept()
		})
	if err != nil {
		// handle queue listener creation err
	}
	// Close the listener handle for the Service Bus Queue
	defer listenHandle.Close(context.Background())

	// Wait for a signal to quit:
	signalChan := make(chan os.Signal, 1)
	signal.Notify(signalChan, os.Interrupt, os.Kill)
	<-signalChan
}
