(WIP) azure-servicebus-queue

High-level API for Azure Servicebus Queue operations.

Supports to send and receive messages >64kb by storing and retrieving from blob storage.

Uses the @azure/service-bus SDK

Install

npm i --save @vtfk/azure-servicebus-queue

API

Connection

Get connection string for Service Bus & names for Queues/Topics/Subscriptions

• In the Azure Portal, go to Dashboard > Service Bus > your-servicebus-namespace.
• Note down the "Primary Connection String" of RootManageSharedAccessKey at Shared access policies under Settings tab.
• To work with Queues, find the "Queues" tab right under "Entities" at your-servicebus-namespace, create a Queue and note down its name.
• To work with Topics, find the "Topics" tab right under "Entities" at your-servicebus-namespace, create a Topic. Go to your-servicebus-namespace > your-topic, create subscriptions for the topic. Note down the names of the topic and subscriptions.

const serviceBusClient = require('@vtfk/azure-servicebus-queue')({
  connectionString: '<Servicebus Connection String>'
  /* Uncomment to send and receive messages >64kb
    storageConnectionString: '<Blob Service SAS URL>'
    storageContainerName: '<Container name>'
  */
})

Service Bus operations

TODO

Subcription client operations

TODO

Topic operations

First, connect to the desired topic

const topic = serviceBusClient.topic('topicName')

Peek messages

Looks at mesages but don't delete

const limit = 6
const messages = await topic.peek(limit)

Returns an array of max 6 messages.

Peek messages by sequence number

const messages = await topic.peekBySequenceNumber('<sequenceNumber>')

Send message

const message = { body: 'message' }
await topic.send(message)

Receive message(s)

const limit = 10
const timeoutInSeconds = 1
const messages = await topic.receive(limit, timeoutInSeconds)

Send batch

const messages = [{ body: '1' }, { body: '2' }]
await topic.sendBatch(messages)

Schedule Message

const dateToSend = new Date().toISOString()
const message = { body: 'message' }
await topic.scheduleMessage(dateToSend, message)

Schedule Messages

const dateToSend = new Date().toISOString()
const messages = [{ body: '1' }, { body: '2' }]
await topic.scheduleMessages(dateToSend, messages)

Queue operations

First, connect to the desired queue

const queue = serviceBusClient.queue(queueName)

Peek messages

Looks at mesages but don't delete

const limit = 6
const messages = await queue.peek(limit)

Returns an array of max 6 messages.

Peek messages by sequence number

const messages = await queue.peekBySequenceNumber('<sequenceNumber>')

Send message

const message = { body: 'message' }
await queue.send(message)

Receive message(s)

const limit = 10
const timeoutInSeconds = 1
const messages = await queue.receive(limit, timeoutInSeconds)

Send batch

const messages = [{ body: '1' }, { body: '2' }]
await queue.sendBatch(messages)

Schedule Message

const dateToSend = new Date().toISOString()
const message = { body: 'message' }
await queue.scheduleMessage(dateToSend, message)

Schedule Messages

const dateToSend = new Date().toISOString()
const messages = [{ body: '1' }, { body: '2' }]
await queue.scheduleMessages(dateToSend, messages)

Storage operations

Inside storage you will find readBigMessage and sendBigMessage.
These will use the storageConnectionString and storageContainerName arguments to get the correct blob.

Send big messages

Store a message and get the ID in return.

const message = 'A message that is to big for the servicebus queue'
const fileId = await serviceBusClient.storage.sendBigMessage(message)

Read big messages

Reads a message from the configured blob storage with a specified ID.
Useful if a function binding is used for listening to new messages.

const fileId = '5266176d-dc5f-4304-b87e-5a4ef78a29b1.json'
const message = await serviceBusClient.storage.readBigMessage(fileId)

Returns the content of the blob with that ID.

Examples

See examples/example.js

To run example.js create file .env in project root with following content

QUEUE_NAME=<queue name>
QUEUE_CONNECTION_STRING=<Servicebus Connection String>
BLOB_SERVICE_SAS_URL=<Blob Service SAS URL> # Only needed for bigfile example
BLOB_CONTAINER_NAME=<Container name> # Only needed for bigfile example

And run npm run example or npm run example-bigfile (to test with messages >64kb)
