Installation

go get github.com/EnSync-engine/Go-SDK

Quick Start

gRPC Client (Recommended for Server-to-Server)

package main

import (
    "log"
    ensync "github.com/EnSync-engine/Go-SDK/grpc"
)

func main() {
    // Create gRPC engine
    engine, err := ensync.NewGRPCEngine("grpc://localhost:50051")
    if err != nil {
        log.Fatal(err)
    }
    defer engine.Close()

    // Authenticate
    err = engine.CreateClient("your-access-key")
    if err != nil {
        log.Fatal(err)
    }

    // Publish an event
    eventID, err := engine.Publish(
        "yourcompany/payment/created",
        []string{"recipient-public-key-base64"},
        map[string]interface{}{
            "amount": 100,
            "currency": "USD",
        },
        nil,
        nil,
    )
    if err != nil {
        log.Fatal(err)
    }

    log.Printf("Event published: %s", eventID)
}

WebSocket Client

package main

import (
    "log"
    ensync "github.com/EnSync-engine/Go-SDK/websocket"
)

func main() {
    // Create WebSocket engine
    engine, err := ensync.NewWebSocketEngine("ws://localhost:8082")
    if err != nil {
        log.Fatal(err)
    }
    defer engine.Close()

    // Authenticate
    err = engine.CreateClient("your-access-key")
    if err != nil {
        log.Fatal(err)
    }

    // Subscribe to events
    subscription, err := engine.Subscribe("yourcompany/payment/created", &ensync.SubscribeOptions{
        AutoAck: true,
    })
    if err != nil {
        log.Fatal(err)
    }

    // Register event handler
    subscription.AddHandler(func(event *ensync.EventPayload) error {
        log.Printf("Received: %+v", event.Payload)
        return nil
    })

    // Keep running...
    select {}
}

Transport Options

gRPC (Default)

High-performance binary protocol with HTTP/2, ideal for server-to-server communication.

// Insecure connection
engine, _ := ensync.NewGRPCEngine("grpc://localhost:50051")

// Secure connection (TLS)
engine, _ := ensync.NewGRPCEngine("grpcs://node.ensync.cloud:50051")

WebSocket

Real-time bidirectional communication, great for browser and Node.js applications.

// Insecure connection
engine, _ := ensync.NewWebSocketEngine("ws://localhost:8082")

// Secure connection (WSS)
engine, _ := ensync.NewWebSocketEngine("wss://node.ensync.cloud:8082")

API Reference

Creating a Client

// Basic client creation
engine, err := ensync.NewGRPCEngine("grpc://localhost:50051")
err = engine.CreateClient("your-access-key")

// With options
err = engine.CreateClient("your-access-key",
    ensync.WithAppSecretKey("your-app-secret"),
    ensync.WithClientID("custom-client-id"),
)

Publishing Events

eventID, err := engine.Publish(
    eventName string,                      // Event name
    recipients []string,                   // Recipient public keys (base64)
    payload map[string]interface{},        // Event payload
    metadata *ensync.EventMetadata,        // Optional metadata
    options *ensync.PublishOptions,        // Optional publish options
)

Example:

metadata := &ensync.EventMetadata{
    Persist: true,
    Headers: map[string]string{
        "source": "payment-service",
    },
}

options := &ensync.PublishOptions{
    UseHybridEncryption: true, // Use hybrid encryption for multiple recipients
}

eventID, err := engine.Publish(
    "yourcompany/payment/created",
    []string{"recipient1-key", "recipient2-key"},
    map[string]interface{}{
        "transactionId": "txn-123",
        "amount": 100.50,
        "currency": "USD",
    },
    metadata,
    options,
)

Subscribing to Events

subscription, err := engine.Subscribe(
    eventName string,
    options *ensync.SubscribeOptions,
)

Subscribe Options:

options := &ensync.SubscribeOptions{
    AutoAck: true,                    // Auto-acknowledge events
    AppSecretKey: "your-secret-key",  // Override decryption key
}

Event Handlers

// Register a handler
unsubscribe := subscription.AddHandler(func(event *ensync.EventPayload) error {
    log.Printf("Event: %s", event.EventName)
    log.Printf("ID: %s", event.Idem)
    log.Printf("Block: %d", event.Block)
    log.Printf("Payload: %+v", event.Payload)
    log.Printf("Timestamp: %v", event.Timestamp)
    log.Printf("Sender: %s", event.Sender)
    
    // Process event...
    
    return nil
})

// Unregister handler
unsubscribe()

Event Management

Acknowledge Event

err := subscription.Ack(eventIdem string, block int64)

Defer Event

Postpone event processing for later delivery:

response, err := subscription.Defer(
    eventIdem string,
    delayMs int64,      // Delay in milliseconds (1000ms to 24h)
    reason string,      // Optional reason
)

Discard Event

Permanently reject an event without processing:

response, err := subscription.Discard(
    eventIdem string,
    reason string,      // Optional reason
)

Replay Event

Request a specific event to be sent again:

event, err := subscription.Replay(eventIdem string)

Flow Control

Pause Processing

err := subscription.Pause("System maintenance")

Resume Processing

err := subscription.Resume()

Unsubscribe

err := subscription.Unsubscribe()

Close Connection

err := engine.Close()

Event Structure

type EventPayload struct {
    EventName string                 // Event name
    Idem      string                 // Unique event ID
    Block     int64                  // Block ID for acknowledgment
    Timestamp time.Time              // Event timestamp
    Payload   map[string]interface{} // Event data
    Metadata  map[string]interface{} // Event metadata
    Sender    string                 // Sender client ID
}

Error Handling

The SDK uses typed errors for better error handling:

eventID, err := engine.Publish(...)
if err != nil {
    if ensyncErr, ok := err.(*ensync.EnSyncError); ok {
        switch ensyncErr.Type {
        case ensync.ErrTypeAuth:
            log.Println("Authentication error:", ensyncErr.Message)
        case ensync.ErrTypePublish:
            log.Println("Publish error:", ensyncErr.Message)
        case ensync.ErrTypeConnection:
            log.Println("Connection error:", ensyncErr.Message)
        default:
            log.Println("Error:", ensyncErr.Message)
        }
    }
}

Error Types:

ErrTypeGeneric - Generic errors
ErrTypeAuth - Authentication errors
ErrTypeConnection - Connection errors
ErrTypePublish - Publishing errors
ErrTypeSubscription - Subscription errors
ErrTypeTimeout - Timeout errors
ErrTypeReplay - Replay errors
ErrTypeDefer - Defer errors
ErrTypeDiscard - Discard errors
ErrTypePause - Pause errors
ErrTypeContinue - Continue errors
ErrTypeValidation - Validation errors

Complete Examples

Event Producer

package main

import (
    "log"
    ensync "github.com/EnSync-engine/Go-SDK/grpc"
)

func main() {
    engine, err := ensync.NewGRPCEngine("grpc://localhost:50051")
    if err != nil {
        log.Fatal(err)
    }
    defer engine.Close()

    err = engine.CreateClient("your-access-key")
    if err != nil {
        log.Fatal(err)
    }

    eventName := "yourcompany/payment/POS/PAYMENT_SUCCESSFUL"
    recipients := []string{"recipient-public-key-base64"}
    
    payload := map[string]interface{}{
        "transactionId": "123",
        "amount":        100,
        "terminal":      "pos-1",
        "timestamp":     1234567890,
    }

    eventID, err := engine.Publish(eventName, recipients, payload, nil, nil)
    if err != nil {
        log.Fatalf("Publish failed: %v", err)
    }

    log.Printf("Event published: %s", eventID)
}

Event Subscriber

package main

import (
    "log"
    "os"
    "os/signal"
    "syscall"
    
    ensync "github.com/EnSync-engine/Go-SDK/grpc"
)

func main() {
    engine, err := ensync.NewGRPCEngine("grpc://localhost:50051")
    if err != nil {
        log.Fatal(err)
    }
    defer engine.Close()

    err = engine.CreateClient("your-access-key")
    if err != nil {
        log.Fatal(err)
    }

    eventName := "yourcompany/payment/POS/PAYMENT_SUCCESSFUL"
    subscription, err := engine.Subscribe(eventName, &ensync.SubscribeOptions{
        AutoAck: false, // Manual acknowledgment
    })
    if err != nil {
        log.Fatal(err)
    }

    subscription.AddHandler(func(event *ensync.EventPayload) error {
        log.Printf("Event ID: %s", event.Idem)
        log.Printf("Event Block: %d", event.Block)
        log.Printf("Event Data: %+v", event.Payload)
        
        // Process the event
        if err := processPayment(event.Payload); err != nil {
            log.Printf("Processing failed: %v", err)
            // Defer for retry
            subscription.Defer(event.Idem, 5000, "Processing failed")
            return err
        }
        
        // Acknowledge successful processing
        return subscription.Ack(event.Idem, event.Block)
    })

    log.Println("Listening for events... Press Ctrl+C to exit")

    // Graceful shutdown
    sigChan := make(chan os.Signal, 1)
    signal.Notify(sigChan, os.Interrupt, syscall.SIGTERM)
    <-sigChan

    log.Println("Shutting down...")
    subscription.Unsubscribe()
}

func processPayment(payload map[string]interface{}) error {
    // Process payment logic
    return nil
}

Configuration Options

Common Configuration Options

Both gRPC and WebSocket engines support common configuration options:

import (
    "context"
    "time"
    
    "github.com/EnSync-engine/Go-SDK/common"
    ensync "github.com/EnSync-engine/Go-SDK/grpc"
)

ctx := context.Background()
engine, err := ensync.NewGRPCEngine(ctx, "grpc://localhost:50051",
    // Circuit breaker: 5 failures, 10s base reset, 60s max reset
    common.WithCircuitBreaker(5, 10*time.Second, 60*time.Second),
    
    // Retry: 3 attempts, 1s initial backoff, 10s max backoff, 10% jitter
    common.WithRetryConfig(3, time.Second, 10*time.Second, 0.1),
    
    // Custom timeouts
    common.WithTimeoutOptions(
        common.WithOperationTimeout(15*time.Second),
        common.WithGracefulShutdownTimeout(5*time.Second),
    ),

    // Custom logger
    common.WithLogger(customLogger),
)

WebSocket-Specific Options

WebSocket engines have additional configuration options:

import (
    "context"
    "time"
    
    "github.com/EnSync-engine/Go-SDK/common"
    ensync "github.com/EnSync-engine/Go-SDK/websocket"
)

ctx := context.Background()
engine, err := ensync.NewWebSocketEngine(ctx, "ws://localhost:8082",
    // WebSocket-specific options would go here
    // (currently using embedded common config)
)

Client Authentication Options

When creating a client, you can pass additional options:

err = engine.CreateClient("your-access-key",
    common.WithAppSecretKey("your-app-secret-key"),
    common.WithClientID("custom-client-id"),
)

Best Practices

Connection Management

// Use environment variables for credentials
import "os"

accessKey := os.Getenv("ENSYNC_ACCESS_KEY")
engine, _ := ensync.NewGRPCEngine(os.Getenv("ENSYNC_URL"))
engine.CreateClient(accessKey)

// Always close connections
defer engine.Close()

Event Design

// Use hierarchical event names
eventName := "domain/entity/action"

// Example: "inventory/product/created"
// Example: "payment/transaction/completed"

Error Handling

subscription.AddHandler(func(event *ensync.EventPayload) error {
    if err := processEvent(event); err != nil {
        log.Printf("Processing error: %v", err)
        
        // Defer for retry
        subscription.Defer(event.Idem, 5000, err.Error())
        return err
    }
    
    return subscription.Ack(event.Idem, event.Block)
})

Graceful Shutdown

sigChan := make(chan os.Signal, 1)
signal.Notify(sigChan, os.Interrupt, syscall.SIGTERM)

go func() {
    <-sigChan
    log.Println("Shutting down...")
    subscription.Unsubscribe()
    engine.Close()
    os.Exit(0)
}()

Generating gRPC Code

If you need to regenerate the gRPC code from the proto file:

# Install protoc plugins
go install google.golang.org/protobuf/cmd/protoc-gen-go@latest
go install google.golang.org/grpc/cmd/protoc-gen-go-grpc@latest

# Generate code
chmod +x generate.sh
./generate.sh

Design Decisions

Interfaces Over Concrete Types

The SDK uses interfaces (Engine, Subscription) to allow easy mocking for testing and future extensibility.

Goroutines and Channels

Event handling uses goroutines for concurrent processing, with proper synchronization using mutexes and channels.

Context Support

All blocking operations support context.Context for cancellation and timeout control.

Error Handling

Go-idiomatic error handling with typed errors instead of try-catch blocks.
