Go examples and CLI clients for the NATS messaging system.

This repo contains go-gettable go-nats example client code as well as example code from the documentation.

To verify a NATS Server with either your own gnatsd or a NATS.cloud instance:

1. Get and run nats-sub:

   go get github.com/nats-io/go-nats-examples/tools/nats-sub
   nats-sub -s tls://user:password@server:port channel_name
   

2. Get and run nats-pub:

   go get github.com/nats-io/go-nats-examples/tools/nats-pub
   nats-pub -s tls://user:password@server:port channel_name message
   

3. Verify publisher output:

   Published [channel_name] : 'message'
   

4. Verify subscriber output:

   Listening on [channel_name]
   [#1] Received on [channel_name]: 'message'
   

The patterns directory contains a listing of example messaging patterns:

1. Publish/Subscribe
2. Request/Reply
