#create_subscription

def create_subscription(subscription_name, deadline: nil, retain_acked: false, retention: nil, endpoint: nil, push_config: nil, labels: nil, message_ordering: nil, filter: nil, dead_letter_topic: nil, dead_letter_max_delivery_attempts: nil, retry_policy: nil) -> Google::Cloud::PubSub::Subscription
Alias Of: #subscribe

Creates a new Subscription object on the current Topic.

Parameters
  • subscription_name (String) — Name of the new subscription. Required. The value can be a simple subscription ID (relative name), in which case the current project ID will be supplied, or a fully-qualified subscription name in the form projects/{project_id}/subscriptions/{subscription_id}.

    The subscription ID (relative name) must start with a letter, and contain only letters ([A-Za-z]), numbers ([0-9]), dashes (-), underscores (_), periods (.), tildes (~), plus (+) or percent signs (%). It must be between 3 and 255 characters in length, and it must not start with goog.

  • deadline (Integer) (defaults to: nil) — The maximum number of seconds after a subscriber receives a message before the subscriber should acknowledge the message.
  • retain_acked (Boolean) (defaults to: false) — Indicates whether to retain acknowledged messages. If true, then messages are not expunged from the subscription's backlog, even if they are acknowledged, until they fall out of the retention window. Default is false.
  • retention (Numeric) (defaults to: nil) — How long to retain unacknowledged messages in the subscription's backlog, from the moment a message is published. If retain_acked is true, then this also configures the retention of acknowledged messages, and thus configures how far back in time a Subscription#seek can be done. Cannot be more than 604,800 seconds (7 days) or less than 600 seconds (10 minutes). Default is 604,800 seconds (7 days).
  • endpoint (String) (defaults to: nil) — A URL locating the endpoint to which messages should be pushed. The parameters push_config and endpoint should not both be provided.
  • push_config (Google::Cloud::PubSub::Subscription::PushConfig) (defaults to: nil) — The configuration for a push delivery endpoint that should contain the endpoint, and can contain authentication data (OIDC token authentication). The parameters push_config and endpoint should not both be provided.
  • labels (Hash) (defaults to: nil) — A hash of user-provided labels associated with the subscription. You can use these to organize and group your subscriptions. Label keys and values can be no longer than 63 characters, can only contain lowercase letters, numeric characters, underscores and dashes. International characters are allowed. Label values are optional. Label keys must start with a letter and each label in the list must have a different key. See Creating and Managing Labels.
  • message_ordering (Boolean) (defaults to: nil) — Whether to enable message ordering on the subscription.
  • filter (String) (defaults to: nil) — An expression written in the Cloud Pub/Sub filter language. If non-empty, then only Message instances whose attributes field matches the filter are delivered on this subscription. If empty, then no messages are filtered out. Optional.
  • dead_letter_topic (Topic) (defaults to: nil) — The Topic to which dead letter messages for the subscription should be published. Dead lettering is done on a best effort basis. The same message might be dead lettered multiple times. The Cloud Pub/Sub service account associated with the enclosing subscription's parent project (i.e., service-{project_number}@gcp-sa-pubsub.iam.gserviceaccount.com) must have permission to Publish() to this topic.

    The operation will fail if the topic does not exist. Users should ensure that there is a subscription attached to this topic since messages published to a topic with no subscriptions are lost.

  • dead_letter_max_delivery_attempts (Integer) (defaults to: nil) — The maximum number of delivery attempts for any message in the subscription's dead letter policy. Dead lettering is done on a best effort basis. The same message might be dead lettered multiple times. The value must be between 5 and 100. If this parameter is 0, a default value of 5 is used. The dead_letter_topic must also be set.
  • retry_policy (RetryPolicy) (defaults to: nil) — A policy that specifies how Cloud Pub/Sub retries message delivery for this subscription. If not set, the default retry policy is applied. This generally implies that messages will be retried as soon as possible for healthy subscribers. Retry Policy will be triggered on NACKs or acknowledgement deadline exceeded events for a given message.

Yield Parameter
  • policy (Policy) — the current Cloud IAM Policy for this topic
Returns
  • (Policy) — the current Cloud IAM Policy for this topic
Examples
require "google/cloud/pubsub"

pubsub = Google::Cloud::PubSub.new
topic = pubsub.topic "my-topic"

policy = topic.policy

Update the policy by passing a block:

require "google/cloud/pubsub"

pubsub = Google::Cloud::PubSub.new
topic = pubsub.topic "my-topic"

topic.policy do |p|
  p.add "roles/owner", "user:owner@example.com"
end

#policy=

def policy=(new_policy) -> Policy
Alias Of: #update_policy

Updates the Cloud IAM access control policy for this topic. The policy should be read from #policy. See Policy for an explanation of the policy etag property and how to modify policies.

You can also update the policy by passing a block to #policy, which will call this method internally after the block completes.

Parameter
  • new_policy (Policy) — a new or modified Cloud IAM Policy for this topic
Returns
  • (Policy) — the policy returned by the API update operation
Example
require "google/cloud/pubsub"

pubsub = Google::Cloud::PubSub.new

topic.update_policy policy # API call

#publish

def publish(data = nil, attributes = nil, ordering_key: nil, **extra_attrs, &block) { |batch| ... } -> Message, Array<Message>

Publishes one or more messages to the topic.

The message payload must not be empty; it must contain either a non-empty data field, or at least one attribute.

Parameters
  • data (String, File) — The message payload. This will be converted to bytes encoded as ASCII-8BIT.
  • attributes (Hash) — Optional attributes for the message.
  • ordering_key (String) (defaults to: nil) — Identifies related messages for which publish order should be respected.
Yields
  • (batch) — a block for publishing multiple messages in one request
Yield Parameter
Returns
  • (Message, Array<Message>) — Returns the published message when called without a block, or an array of messages when called with a block.
Examples
require "google/cloud/pubsub"

pubsub = Google::Cloud::PubSub.new

topic = pubsub.topic "my-topic"
msg = topic.publish "task completed"

A message can be published using a File object:

require "google/cloud/pubsub"

pubsub = Google::Cloud::PubSub.new

topic = pubsub.topic "my-topic"
file = File.open "message.txt", mode: "rb"
msg = topic.publish file

Additionally, a message can be published with attributes:

require "google/cloud/pubsub"

pubsub = Google::Cloud::PubSub.new

topic = pubsub.topic "my-topic"
msg = topic.publish "task completed",
                    foo: :bar,
                    this: :that

Multiple messages can be sent at the same time using a block:

require "google/cloud/pubsub"

pubsub = Google::Cloud::PubSub.new

topic = pubsub.topic "my-topic"
msgs = topic.publish do |t|
  t.publish "task 1 completed", foo: :bar
  t.publish "task 2 completed", foo: :baz
  t.publish "task 3 completed", foo: :bif
end

Ordered messages are supported using ordering_key:

require "google/cloud/pubsub"

pubsub = Google::Cloud::PubSub.new

topic = pubsub.topic "my-ordered-topic"

# Ensure that message ordering is enabled.
topic.enable_message_ordering!

# Publish an ordered message with an ordering key.
topic.publish "task completed",
              ordering_key: "task-key"

#publish_async

def publish_async(data = nil, attributes = nil, ordering_key: nil, **extra_attrs, &callback) { |result| ... }

Publishes a message asynchronously to the topic using #async_publisher.

The message payload must not be empty; it must contain either a non-empty data field, or at least one attribute.

Google Cloud Pub/Sub ordering keys provide the ability to ensure related messages are sent to subscribers in the order in which they were published. Messages can be tagged with an ordering key, a string that identifies related messages for which publish order should be respected. The service guarantees that, for a given ordering key and publisher, messages are sent to subscribers in the order in which they were published. Ordering does not require sacrificing high throughput or scalability, as the service automatically distributes messages for different ordering keys across subscribers.

To use ordering keys, specify ordering_key. Before specifying ordering_key on a message a call to #enable_message_ordering! must be made or an error will be raised.

Publisher flow control limits the number of outstanding messages that are allowed to wait to be published. See the flow_control key in the async parameter in Project#topic for more information about publisher flow control settings.

Parameters
  • data (String, File) — The message payload. This will be converted to bytes encoded as ASCII-8BIT.
  • attributes (Hash) — Optional attributes for the message.
  • ordering_key (String) (defaults to: nil) — Identifies related messages for which publish order should be respected.
Yields
  • (result) — the callback for when the message has been published
Yield Parameter
  • result (PublishResult) — the result of the asynchronous publish
Raises
Examples
require "google/cloud/pubsub"

pubsub = Google::Cloud::PubSub.new

topic = pubsub.topic "my-topic"
topic.publish_async "task completed" do |result|
  if result.succeeded?
    log_publish_success result.data
  else
    log_publish_failure result.data, result.error
  end
end

# Shut down the publisher when ready to stop publishing messages.
topic.async_publisher.stop!

A message can be published using a File object:

require "google/cloud/pubsub"

pubsub = Google::Cloud::PubSub.new

topic = pubsub.topic "my-topic"
file = File.open "message.txt", mode: "rb"
topic.publish_async file

# Shut down the publisher when ready to stop publishing messages.
topic.async_publisher.stop!

Additionally, a message can be published with attributes:

require "google/cloud/pubsub"

pubsub = Google::Cloud::PubSub.new

topic = pubsub.topic "my-topic"
topic.publish_async "task completed",
                    foo: :bar, this: :that

# Shut down the publisher when ready to stop publishing messages.
topic.async_publisher.stop!

Ordered messages are supported using ordering_key:

require "google/cloud/pubsub"

pubsub = Google::Cloud::PubSub.new

topic = pubsub.topic "my-ordered-topic"

# Ensure that message ordering is enabled.
topic.enable_message_ordering!

# Publish an ordered message with an ordering key.
topic.publish_async "task completed",
                    ordering_key: "task-key"

# Shut down the publisher when ready to stop publishing messages.
topic.async_publisher.stop!

#reference?

def reference?() -> Boolean

Determines whether the topic object was created without retrieving the resource representation from the Pub/Sub service.

Returns
  • (Boolean) — true when the topic was created without a resource representation, false otherwise.
Example
require "google/cloud/pubsub"

pubsub = Google::Cloud::PubSub.new

topic = pubsub.topic "my-topic", skip_lookup: true
topic.reference? #=> true

#refresh!

def refresh!() -> Google::Cloud::PubSub::Topic
Alias Of: #reload!

Reloads the topic with current data from the Pub/Sub service.

Returns
Example
require "google/cloud/pubsub"

pubsub = Google::Cloud::PubSub.new

topic = pubsub.topic "my-topic"
topic.reload!

#reload!

def reload!() -> Google::Cloud::PubSub::Topic
Aliases

Reloads the topic with current data from the Pub/Sub service.

Returns
Example
require "google/cloud/pubsub"

pubsub = Google::Cloud::PubSub.new

topic = pubsub.topic "my-topic"
topic.reload!

#resource?

def resource?() -> Boolean

Determines whether the topic object was created with a resource representation from the Pub/Sub service.

Returns
  • (Boolean) — true when the topic was created with a resource representation, false otherwise.
Example
require "google/cloud/pubsub"

pubsub = Google::Cloud::PubSub.new

topic = pubsub.topic "my-topic"
topic.resource? #=> true

#resume_publish

def resume_publish(ordering_key) -> boolean

Resume publishing ordered messages for the provided ordering key.

Parameter
  • ordering_key (String) — Identifies related messages for which publish order should be respected.
Returns
  • (boolean) — true when resumed, false otherwise.

#retention

def retention() -> Numeric, nil

Indicates the minimum number of seconds to retain a message after it is published to the topic. If this field is set, messages published to the topic within the retention number of seconds are always available to subscribers. For instance, it allows any attached subscription to seek to a timestamp that is up to retention number of seconds in the past. If this field is not set, message retention is controlled by settings on individual subscriptions. Cannot be less than 600 (10 minutes) or more than 604,800 (7 days). See #retention=.

Makes an API call to retrieve the retention value when called on a reference object. See #reference?.

Returns
  • (Numeric, nil) — The message retention duration in seconds, or nil if not set.

#retention=

def retention=(new_retention)

Sets the message retention duration in seconds. If set to a positive duration between 600 (10 minutes) and 604,800 (7 days), inclusive, the message retention duration is changed. If set to nil, this clears message retention duration from the topic. See #retention.

Parameter
  • new_retention (Numeric, nil) — The new message retention duration value.

#schema_name

def schema_name() -> String, nil

The name of the schema that messages published should be validated against, if schema settings are configured for the topic. The value is a fully-qualified schema name in the form projects/{project_id}/schemas/{schema_id}. If present, #message_encoding should also be present. The value of this field will be deleted-schema if the schema has been deleted.

Makes an API call to retrieve the schema settings when called on a reference object. See #reference?.

Returns
  • (String, nil) — The schema name, or nil if schema settings are not configured for the topic.
Example
require "google/cloud/pubsub"

pubsub = Google::Cloud::PubSub.new

topic = pubsub.topic "my-topic"

topic.schema_name #=> "projects/my-project/schemas/my-schema"

#subscribe

def subscribe(subscription_name, deadline: nil, retain_acked: false, retention: nil, endpoint: nil, push_config: nil, labels: nil, message_ordering: nil, filter: nil, dead_letter_topic: nil, dead_letter_max_delivery_attempts: nil, retry_policy: nil) -> Google::Cloud::PubSub::Subscription

Creates a new Subscription object on the current Topic.

Parameters
  • subscription_name (String) — Name of the new subscription. Required. The value can be a simple subscription ID (relative name), in which case the current project ID will be supplied, or a fully-qualified subscription name in the form projects/{project_id}/subscriptions/{subscription_id}.

    The subscription ID (relative name) must start with a letter, and contain only letters ([A-Za-z]), numbers ([0-9]), dashes (-), underscores (_), periods (.), tildes (~), plus (+) or percent signs (%). It must be between 3 and 255 characters in length, and it must not start with goog.

  • deadline (Integer) (defaults to: nil) — The maximum number of seconds after a subscriber receives a message before the subscriber should acknowledge the message.
  • retain_acked (Boolean) (defaults to: false) — Indicates whether to retain acknowledged messages. If true, then messages are not expunged from the subscription's backlog, even if they are acknowledged, until they fall out of the retention window. Default is false.
  • retention (Numeric) (defaults to: nil) — How long to retain unacknowledged messages in the subscription's backlog, from the moment a message is published. If retain_acked is true, then this also configures the retention of acknowledged messages, and thus configures how far back in time a Subscription#seek can be done. Cannot be more than 604,800 seconds (7 days) or less than 600 seconds (10 minutes). Default is 604,800 seconds (7 days).
  • endpoint (String) (defaults to: nil) — A URL locating the endpoint to which messages should be pushed. The parameters push_config and endpoint should not both be provided.
  • push_config (Google::Cloud::PubSub::Subscription::PushConfig) (defaults to: nil) — The configuration for a push delivery endpoint that should contain the endpoint, and can contain authentication data (OIDC token authentication). The parameters push_config and endpoint should not both be provided.
  • labels (Hash) (defaults to: nil) — A hash of user-provided labels associated with the subscription. You can use these to organize and group your subscriptions. Label keys and values can be no longer than 63 characters, can only contain lowercase letters, numeric characters, underscores and dashes. International characters are allowed. Label values are optional. Label keys must start with a letter and each label in the list must have a different key. See Creating and Managing Labels.
  • message_ordering (Boolean) (defaults to: nil) — Whether to enable message ordering on the subscription.
  • filter (String) (defaults to: nil) — An expression written in the Cloud Pub/Sub filter language. If non-empty, then only Message instances whose attributes field matches the filter are delivered on this subscription. If empty, then no messages are filtered out. Optional.
  • dead_letter_topic (Topic) (defaults to: nil) — The Topic to which dead letter messages for the subscription should be published. Dead lettering is done on a best effort basis. The same message might be dead lettered multiple times. The Cloud Pub/Sub service account associated with the enclosing subscription's parent project (i.e., service-{project_number}@gcp-sa-pubsub.iam.gserviceaccount.com) must have permission to Publish() to this topic.

    The operation will fail if the topic does not exist. Users should ensure that there is a subscription attached to this topic since messages published to a topic with no subscriptions are lost.

  • dead_letter_max_delivery_attempts (Integer) (defaults to: nil) — The maximum number of delivery attempts for any message in the subscription's dead letter policy. Dead lettering is done on a best effort basis. The same message might be dead lettered multiple times. The value must be between 5 and 100. If this parameter is 0, a default value of 5 is used. The dead_letter_topic must also be set.
  • retry_policy (RetryPolicy) (defaults to: nil) — A policy that specifies how Cloud Pub/Sub retries message delivery for this subscription. If not set, the default retry policy is applied. This generally implies that messages will be retried as soon as possible for healthy subscribers. Retry Policy will be triggered on NACKs or acknowledgement deadline exceeded events for a given message.
