Cloud PubSub Client - Class PubSubClient (2.8.0)

Reference documentation and code samples for the Cloud PubSub Client class PubSubClient.

Google Cloud Pub/Sub allows you to send and receive messages between independent applications. Find more information at the Google Cloud Pub/Sub docs.

To enable the Google Cloud Pub/Sub Emulator, set the PUBSUB_EMULATOR_HOST environment variable.

This client supports transport over REST or gRPC.

In order to enable gRPC support please make sure to install and enable the gRPC extension through PECL:

$ pecl install grpc

NOTE: Support for gRPC is currently at an Alpha quality level, meaning it is still a work in progress and is more likely to get backwards-incompatible updates.

When using gRPC in production environments, it is highly recommended that you make use of the Protobuf PHP extension for improved performance. Protobuf can be installed via PECL.

$ pecl install protobuf

Example:

use Google\Cloud\PubSub\PubSubClient;

$pubsub = new PubSubClient(['projectId' => 'my-project']);

// Using the Pub/Sub Emulator
use Google\Cloud\PubSub\PubSubClient;

// Be sure to use the port specified when starting the emulator.
// `8900` is used as an example only.
putenv('PUBSUB_EMULATOR_HOST=localhost:8900');

$pubsub = new PubSubClient(['projectId' => 'my-project']);

Parameters
Name Description
name string

The topic name
options array

[optional] Configuration Options. For available configuration options, refer to Google\Cloud\PubSub\Topic::create() { @type bool $enableCompression Flag to enable compression of messages before publishing. Set the flag to true to enable compression. Defaults to false. Messsages are compressed if their total size >= compressionBytesThreshold, whose default value has been experimentally derived after performance evaluations. @type int $compressionBytesThreshold The threshold byte size above which messages are compressed. This only takes effect if enableCompression is set to true. Defaults to 240. (This value is experiementally derived after performance evaluations.) }.
Returns
Type Description

topic

Lazily instantiate a topic with a topic name.

No API requests are made by this method. If you want to create a new topic, use Google\Cloud\PubSub\Topic::create().

Example:

// No API request yet!
$topic = $pubsub->topic('my-new-topic');

// This will execute an API call.
echo $topic->info()['name']; // `projects/my-awesome-project/topics/my-new-topic`
