Coworkers: 一个Node.js中的RabbitMQ微服务框架

Coworkers is a new microservice framework heavily inspired by Koa, which aims to be a simple, robust, and scalable foundation for creating RabbitMQ microservices. Through leveraging generators Coworkers allows you to ditch callbacks and greatly increase error-handling. Coworkers also uses Amqplib, a battle-tested AMQP client, under the hood to communicate with RabbitMQ and has best-practices baked in. Finally, Coworkers enables easy scalability by running each queue-consumer in it's own process through node clustering (optional).

Installation

npm install --save coworkers

Usage

Quick Example

const coworkers = require('coworkers')  const app = coworkers()  // shared middlewares  app.use(function * (next) {    // all consumers will run this logic...    yield next  })  // queue consumers w/ middlewares  app.queue('foo-queue', function * () {    // consumer specific logic    this.ack = true // acknowledge message later, see `Context` documentation below  })  // middleware error handler  app.on('error', function (err) {    console.error(err.stack)  })  // connect to rabbitmq and begin consuming  app.connect()

Documentation

Application

The Coworkers Application class is the center of RabbitMQ microservice. It keeps track of which queues to consume and generator middlewares. Coworker's middlewares system should feel familiar as it is similar to that of many other http frameworks such as Ruby's Rack, Connect, and is actually powered by the internals of Koa. This middleware system uses generators to make handling asyncronous behavior a breeze. Coworkers is also powered by amqplib , a battle tested RabbitMQ client library, and has many best practices built in.

Methods (documented below):

  • use
  • queue
  • connect
  • close

Simple consumer example:

const coworkers = require('coworkers')  const app = coworkers()    app.queue('foo-queue', function * () {    this.ack = true  })  app.on('error', function (err, channel, context) {    console.error(err)    if (channel) {      channel.nack(context.message).catch(function (err) {        console.error(err)      })    }  })    app.connect()

app.use(middleware)

Use the given middleware for all queues consumed by the app.

/**   * @param  {GeneratorFunction} middleware   * @return {Application} app   */

See "Cascading middleware" section (below) for a full example

app.queue(queueName, [queueOpts], [consumeOpts], ...middlewares)

Setup a queue consumer w/ options and middleware. Queues will be asserted and consumed with the given options in app.connect .

/**   * @param  {String} queueName queue name for which the middleware will be used   * @param  {Object} [queueOpts] assert queue options, don't use w/ schema   * @param  {Object} [consumeOpts] consume options   * @param  {GeneratorFunction} ...middlewares one middleware is required   * @return {Application} app   */

app.queue example

const coworkers = require('coworkers')    // using optional schema  const app = coworkers(schema)  const queueOpts = {/* queue options */}  const consumeOpts = {/* consume options */}  // correct usage: (note that consumeOpts becomes the second arg)  app.queue('queue0', consumeOpts, function * () {})  // errors  app.queue('queue0', queueOpts, consumeOpts, function * () {})  // Error: 'app.consume() cannot use "queueOpts" when using a schema'  app.queue('queue1', queueOpts, consumeOpts, function * () {})  // Error: 'app.consume() requires "queue1" queue to exist in schema'

app.queue example when using rabbitmq-schema

const coworkers = require('coworkers')  const RabbitSchema = require('rabbitmq-schema')    const schema = new RabbitSchema({    exchange: 'exchange0',    type: 'direct',    options: {}    bindings: {      routingPattern: 'foo.bar.key',      destination: {        queue: 'queue0',        messageSchema: {/* message json-schema */},        options: {/* queue options */}      },      args: {}    }  })    // using optional schema  const app = coworkers(schema)  const consumeOpts = {/* consume options */}  // correct usage: (note that consumeOpts becomes the second arg)  app.queue('queue0', consumeOpts, function * () {})  // errors  const queueOpts = {/* queue options */}  app.queue('queue0', queueOpts, consumeOpts, function * () {})  // Error: 'app.consume() cannot use "queueOpts" when using a schema'  // (It will use the queueOpts from the schema)  app.queue('queue1', consumeOpts, function * () {})  // Error: 'app.consume() requires "queue1" queue to exist in schema'

See "Cascading middleware" section (below) for a full example

Cascading Middleware

Coworker's middleware cascades in a more traditional way as you may be used to with similar tools - this was previously difficult to make user friendly with node's use of callbacks. However with generators we can achieve "true" middleware. Contrasting Connect's implementation which simply passes control through series of functions until one returns, Coworkers yields "downstream", then control flows back "upstream" just like Koa.

The following example ack 's all foo-queue messages. First the message flows through trace and parse-content middleware to mark when the request started, parse content, and then yield control through to the foo-queue consumer middleware. When an middleware invokes yield next the function suspends and passes control to the next middleware defined. After there are no more middleware to execute "downstream", the stack will unwind and each middleware is resumed to perform "upstream" behavior (post yield , in reverse order). Note: "shared middlewares" (use) always run before "consumer middlewares" (consume), regardless of attachment order.

Note: if the message reaches the end of the middlewares without an ack (and consumer is not noAck ) a special NoAckError will be thrown.

Cascading example:

const app = require('coworkers')()    /* shared middlewares */    // "trace" middleware  app.use(function * (next) {    this.id = require('crypto').randomBytes(12)    // save consumer start time    const startTime = Date.now()    // move on to next middleware    yield next    // all middlewares have finished    const elapsed = Date.now() - startTime    console.log(`coworkers-trace:${this.id}:${elapsed}`)  })    // "parse-content" middleware  app.use(function * (next) {    this.message.content = JSON.parse(this.message.content)    yield next  })    /* queue consumers w/ middlewares */    // "foo-queue" consumer middleware  app.consume('foo-queue', function * () {    this.ack = true // checkout `Context` documentation for ack, nack, and more  })    app.connect()

By default, app handles all errors by logging them and nacking messages

Middleware Error Handling

A coworkers application will not start w/out an error handler. Middleware errors are emitted on the app. To setup error-handling logic such as centralized logging you can add an "error" event listener.

Simple error handler example:

app.on('error', function (err, context) {    log.error(`${context.queueName} consumer error`, err)  })

For special error-handling behavior make use of the properties available on context . Also, make sure to handle errors that can occur in the error handler (they will not be caught).

Robust error handler example:

app.on('error', function (err, context) {    log.error(`${context.queueName} consumer error`, err)      // check if the message has not been acked    // make sure message is not being consumed on a `noAck` queue    // and check if the exchange is using a dead letter exchange    const hasDlx = Boolean(context.queueOpts.deadLetterExchange)    if (!context.messageAcked && hasDlx) {      let channel = context.consumerChannel // amqplib promise api: http://www.squaremobius.net/amqp.node/channel_api.html#channel      let message = context.message      let requeue = false      // nack the message and handle any errors      channel.nack(message, requeue).catch(function (err) {        log.error(`${context.queueName} error handler nack error`, err)      })    }  })

app.context

The recommended namespace to extend with information that's useful throughout the lifetime of your application, as opposed to a per request basis.

app.context.db = db();

app.connect(...)

Connect to RabbitMQ, create channels, and consume queues

  • 1) Creates a connection to rabbitmq
  • 2) Creates a consumer channel and publisher channel
  • 3) Begins consuming queues
  • 4) Optionally creates a process for each queue consumer using node clustering (see "Clustering" below)
/**   * @param {String} [url] rabbitmq connection url, default: 'amqp://127.0.0.1:5672'   * @param {Object} [socketOptions] socket options   * @param {Function} [cb] callback, not required if using promises   * @return {Promise} promise, if no callback is supplied   */

Successful connect examples:

const app = require('coworkers')()    app.consume('foo-queue', function * () {/*...*/})    // promise api  connect() // connects to 'amqp://127.0.0.1:5678' by default, returns promise    .then(...)    .catch(...)  // - or -  connect('amqp://127.0.0.1:8000') // returns promise    .then(...)    .catch(...)  // - or -  const socketOptions = {} // see http://www.squaremobius.net/amqp.node/channel_api.html#connect  connect('amqp://127.0.0.1:8000', socketOptions) // returns promise    .then(...)    .catch(...)    // callback api  connect(callback) // connects to 'amqp://127.0.0.1:5678' by default  // - or -  connect('amqp://127.0.0.1:8000', callback)  // - or -  const socketOptions = {} // see http://www.squaremobius.net/amqp.node/channel_api.html#connect  connect('amqp://127.0.0.1:8000', socketOptions, callback)  // callback  function callback (err) {    // ...  }

Failed connect examples:

const app = require('coworkers')()    app.use(function * () {/*...*/})    app.connect(function (err) {  /*   Error: App requires consumers, please use "consume" before calling connect   */  })

app.close(...)

Close channels and disconnect from RabbitMQ

Close examples:

// promise api  app.close()    .then(...)    .catch(...)    // callback api  app.close(callback)

Context

A Coworkers Context encapsulates a RabbitMQ consumer's message and channel s into a single object. This provides easy access to methods and accessors to data frequently used w/ RabbitMQ microservice development.

A Context is created per message, and is referenced in middleware as the receiver, or the this identifier

Context example:

app.use(function * () {    this // is the Context    this.queueName // is the name of the queue where the message originated    this.message // is the incoming rabbitmq message    this.consumerChannel // is the channel which recieved the message    this.publisherChannel // is an extra channel dedicated for publishing messages  })

Many of the context's accessors and methods simply delegate to their this.message , this.consumerChannel , or this.publisherChannel equivalents for convenience, and are otherwise identical. For example, this.deliveryTag and this.messageAcked delegate to the message , this.ack and this.nack delegate to consumerChannel , and this.publish() and this.sendToQueue() delegate to publisherChannel .

Context Models

For the most part context models should not need to be used. Context accessor and methods should be more convenient, and allow the message to properly flow "downstream" and "upstream".

  • this.app - the coworkers app
  • this.connection - amqplib rabbitmq connection, see "Connection" documentation below
  • this.consumerChannel - amqplib* rabbitmq channel dedicated to consuming, see "Channel" documentation below
  • this.publisherChannel - amqplib* rabbitmq channel dedicated to publishing, see "Channel" documentation below

Context Properties

  • this.queueName - name of the queue from which the message origin* ated
  • this.message - the incoming rabbitmq message*
  • this.deliveryTag - delivery tag of the message, message.fields.* deliveryTag
  • this.queueOpts - queue options used to assert the queue
  • this.consumeOpts - queue's consume options
  • this.messageAcked - boolean, whether message has been acknowledged (ack, nack, reject)
  • this.state - recommended namespace for passing info between middlewares

Context Ack Properties

These special ack properties should be used in place of channel calls (except in the error handler). These properties allow the message to complete it's flow "downstream" and back "upstream" before acknowledging the message.

  • this.ack - set this property to ack the message at the end of the middlewares
  • this.nack - set this property to nack the message at the end of the middlewares
  • this.reject - set this property to reject the message at the end of the middlewares ##### Ack Example:
app.use(function * () {    /* ack */    this.ack = true // will ack w/ default options    // - or -    this.ack = { allUpTo: true } // specify custom options  })

Nack Example:

app.use(function * () {    /* nack */    this.nack = true // will nack w/ default options    // - or -    this.nack = { requeue: false, allUpTo: false } // specify custom options  })

Context Methods

  • this.publish(...) - publish a message to an exchange w/ a routing key on the publisherChannel
  • this.sendToQueue(...) - publish a message directly to a queue on the publisherChannel
  • this.request(...) - publish an rpc message, and easily recieve it's reply, creates a new channel for publishing and consuming
  • this.reply(...) - reply to an rpc message on the publisherChannel ##### Publish example:
// `context.publish` jsdoc:  /**   * Proxy method to publisherChannel.publish, publish a message to an exchange   * @param  {String} exchange   exchange name to publish to   * @param  {String} routingKey message routing key   * @param  {Buffer|Object|Array|String} content    message content   * @param  {Object} [options]    publish options   */  // Example usage in middleware  app.use(function * (next) {    // Works just like amqplib's channel publish.    // But context's publish allows publishing of    // objects and strings in addition to buffers.    // Non-buffer content will be stringified and casted to a Buffer.    const content = { foo: 1 }    const opts = {} // optional    yield this.publish('exchange-name', 'routing.key', content, opts)    // ...  })

SendToQueue example:

// `context.sendToQueue` jsdoc:  /**   * Proxy method to publisherChannel.sendToQueue   *   publish a message directly to a queue   * @param  {String} queue   queue name to publish to   * @param  {Buffer|Object|Array|String} content message content   * @param  {Object} [options] publish options   */  // Example usage in middleware  app.use(function * (next) {    // Works just like amqplib's channel sendToQueue.    // But context's sendToQueue allows publishing of    // objects and strings in addition to buffers.    // Non-buffer content will be stringified and casted to a Buffer.    const content = 'hello'    const opts = {} // optional    yield this.sendToQueue('queue-name', content, opts)    // ...  })

RPC example:

Client.js using context.request

// `context.request` jsdoc:  /**   * Make an rpc request, publish a message to an rpc queue   * @param  {String}   queue     name of rpc-queue to send the message to   * @param  {Buffer}   content   message content   * @param  {Object}   [sendOpts]  sendToQueue options   * @param  {Object}   [queueOpts] assertQueue options for replyTo queue, queueOpts.exclusive defaults to true   * @param  {Object}   [consumeOpts] consume options for replyTo queue, consumeOpts.noAck defaults to true   * @return {Promise} returns a promise   */  // Example usage in middleware  app.queue('client-queue', function * () {    // request makes it easy to make an rpc-request from a queue    const content = { a: 10, b: 20 }    // request function signatures has a lot of optional arguments:    // request(queueName, content, [sendOpts], [queueOpts], [consumeOpts])    const replyMsg = yield this.request('multiply-queue', content)    console.log(replyMsg.content.toString()) // 200    // ...    this.ack = true  })

Server.js using context.reply

// `context.reply` jsdoc:  /**   * Reply to an rpc request, publish a message to replyTo queue   * @param  {Buffer|Object|Array|String} content message content   * @param  {Object} options publish options   */  // Example usage in middleware  app.use(function * (next) {    // convert message body to json    this.message.content = JSON.stringify(this.message.content.toString())    yield next  })  app.queue('multiply-queue', function * () {    const content = this.message.content    const a = content.a    const b = content.b    const c = a * b    const opts = {} // optional    // reply is sync and does not return a promise,    //   uses publisherChannel.sendToQueue (see "Channel" documentation below)    this.reply(new Buffer(c), opts)    // ...  })

Clustering / Process management

By default, coworkers will use clustering to give each queue consumer it's own process. Clustering is not required, you can manage coworker processes manually (see "Manual process management" below).

Clustering example:

When clustering is enabled, Coworkers will optimize the number of processes to the number of cpus the server has. The below example will will create four workers in total (to match the number of cpus): two "foo-queue" consumers, and two "bar-queue" consumers. If the number of queues > num cpus, coworkers will only create one consumer per queue. If you want to specify the number of workers per queue you can do this using the environment variable: COWORKERS_NUM_WORKERS_PER_QUEUE . If you have any problems w/ a particular worker process you can close it by sending it a SIGINT signal, this will gracefully shutdown the process and not respawn a replacement (to restart the worker after stopping it, restart your coworkers app).

// app.js  const app = require('coworkers')()  require('os').cpus().length // 4    app.queue('foo-queue', ...)  app.queue('bar-queue', ...)    app.on('error', ...)    app.connect(function (err) {    if (err) console.error(err.stack)  })

Manual process management:

Coworkers forces you to only consume a single queue per process, so that your consumers are decoupled. If you want to manage your own processes w/out using clustering all you have to do is specify three environment variables:

COWORKERS_CLUSTER="false" # {string-boolean} disabled clustering  COWORKERS_QUEUE="foo-queue" # {string} specify the queue the process will consume  COWORKERS_QUEUE_WORKER_NUM=1 # {number} specify the queue worker number, optional, default: 1    # if you create multiple processes per queue, this unique id per queue
// app.js  // ...  app.use('foo-queue', ...)  app.use('bar-queue', ...)    module.exports = app
// process-manager.js  var app = require('app')()    // create one consumer process per queue  app.queueNames.forEach(function (queueName) {    // create node process w/ env:    // COWORKERS_CLUSTER="false"    // COWORKERS_QUEUE=queueName    // COWORKERS_QUEUE_WORKER_NUM=1    // ...  })  //...
