Redis Subscriber for Laravel

A Laravel package for listening to Redis published messages and handling them with jobs, events, or other handlers.

Installation

You can install the package via Composer:

composer require iankibet/redis-sub

Publish Configuration

After installation, publish the package configuration file:

php artisan vendor:publish --tag=redis-sub

This will create a config/redis-sub.php file where you can define the Redis channels and their handlers.

Configuration

In config/redis-sub.php, define the Redis channels and their corresponding handlers:

return [
    'channels' => [
        'members' => [
            \App\Jobs\ProcessMemberMessage::class,
            \App\Listeners\MemberListener::class,
        ],
        'notifications' => [
            \App\Events\NotificationReceived::class,
        ],
    ],
];

Handlers

Handlers can be:

• Jobs (e.g., ProcessMemberMessage that implements ShouldQueue).
• Events (e.g., NotificationReceived that uses the Dispatchable trait).
• Callable Classes (e.g., MemberListener with an __invoke method or handle method).

Example Handlers

Job Example

<?php

namespace App\Jobs;

use Illuminate\Contracts\Queue\ShouldQueue;

class ProcessMemberMessage implements ShouldQueue
{
    protected $message;

    public function __construct($message)
    {
        $this->message = $message;
    }

    public function handle()
    {
        logger()->info("Processed job message: {$this->message}");
    }
}

Event Example

<?php

namespace App\Events;

use Illuminate\Foundation\Events\Dispatchable;

class NotificationReceived
{
    use Dispatchable;

    public $message;

    public function __construct($message)
    {
        $this->message = $message;
    }
}

Listener Example

<?php

namespace App\Listeners;

class MemberListener
{
    public function __invoke($message)
    {
        logger()->info("Handled message with callable: {$message}");
    }
}

Usage

Run the Redis subscriber command to listen to the configured channels:

php artisan redis:subscribe

The command will listen for messages published on the Redis channels and dispatch the configured handlers.

Example Logs

When a message is published to the members channel, you'll see output like this:

[2024-11-24 15:30:15] Dispatched job: App\Jobs\ProcessMemberMessage for channel: members
[2024-11-24 15:30:15] Called handler: App\Listeners\MemberListener for channel: members

Debugging

• Timestamps are included in log messages for better debugging.
• Ensure the Redis service is running and accessible by Laravel.
