RocketMQ.Client 0.0.16-SNAPSHOT

The .NET Implementation of Apache RocketMQ Client

English | 简体中文 | RocketMQ Website

Supported .NET Versions

.NET 5+ and .NET Core 3.1 is supported.

Due to the release of .NET 5 in 2020, which unified .NET Framework and .NET Core, and has gradually become the mainstream platform for .NET development. We strongly recommend using .NET 5 to access RocketMQ, and we also support accessing it using .NET Core 3.1. If you want to access it using .NET Core 3.1, please add the following code before running it.

AppContext.SetSwitch("System.Net.Http.SocketsHttpHandler.Http2UnencryptedSupport", true)

See more details about .NET 5 from Introducing .NET 5.

Architecture

The client would be developed using the protocols outlined in rocketmq-apis and built on gRPC-dotnet, leveraging Protocol Buffers for data serialization and deserialization during transmission.

Quickstart & Build

Use the command below to add client into your dependencies.

dotnet add package RocketMQ.Client

You can obtain the latest version of RocketMQ.Client from NuGet Gallery. To assist with getting started quickly and working with various message types and clients, we offer examples here.

Layout of this project roughly follows this guide . The solution contains a class library, a unit test module and an example console module. Assuming you are at the home of this repository:

# build the project
dotnet build
# run unit tests
dotnet test -l "console;verbosity=detailed"

Logging System

We use NLog as our logging implementation. Similar to the Java binding, we allow the use of environment variables to customize the related configuration:

• rocketmq_log_level: Log output level, default is INFO.
• rocketmq_log_root: The root directory of the log output. The default path is $HOME/logs/rocketmq, so the full path is $HOME/logs/rocketmq/rocketmq-client.log.
• rocketmq_log_file_maxIndex: The maximum number of log files to keep. The default is 10, and the size of a single log file is limited to 64 MB. Adjustment is not supported yet.

Specifically, by setting mq_consoleAppender_enabled to true, you can output client logs to the console simultaneously if you need debugging.

Publishing Steps

1. Open the command line, and change the directory to the project folder that you want to package.
2. Run the dotnet pack --configuration Release command. This will create a NuGet package in the bin/Release folder of the project.
3. To upload the package to NuGet, go to the NuGet website and sign in. Click on the "Upload" button and select the package file from the bin/Release folder.
4. Follow the instructions on the website to complete the upload process. Once the package is uploaded, it will be available for others to download and use.
