**NOTE:** This repository is part of [Google Cloud PHP](https://github.com/googlecloudplatform/google-cloud-php). Any
support requests, bug reports, or development contributions should be directed to
that project.

A fully-managed real-time messaging service that allows you to send and receive messages between independent applications.

### Installation

To begin, install the preferred dependency manager for PHP, [Composer](https://getcomposer.org/).

Now to install just this component:

```sh
$ composer require google/cloud-pubsub
```

Or to install the entire suite of components at once:

```sh
$ composer require google/cloud
```

This component supports both REST over HTTP/1.1 and gRPC. In order to take advantage of the benefits offered by gRPC (such as streaming methods)
please see our [gRPC installation guide](https://cloud.google.com/php/grpc).

### Authentication

Please see our [Authentication guide](https://github.com/GoogleCloudPlatform/google-cloud-php/blob/master/AUTHENTICATION.md) for more information
on authenticating your client. Once authenticated, you'll be ready to start making requests.

### Sample

```php
require 'vendor/autoload.php';

use Google\Cloud\PubSub\PubSubClient;

$pubSub = new PubSubClient();

// Get an instance of a previously created topic.
$topic = $pubSub->topic('my_topic');

// Publish a message to the topic.
$topic->publish([
    'data' => 'My new message.',
    'attributes' => [
        'location' => 'Detroit'
    ]
]);

// Get an instance of a previously created subscription.
$subscription = $pubSub->subscription('my_subscription');

// Pull all available messages.
$messages = $subscription->pull();

foreach ($messages as $message) {
    echo $message->data() . "\n";
    echo $message->attribute('location');
}
```

### Version

This component is considered GA (generally available). As such, it will not introduce backwards-incompatible changes in
any minor or patch releases. We will address issues and requests with the highest priority.

### Next Steps

1. Understand the [official documentation](https://cloud.google.com/pubsub/docs/).
2. Take a look at [in-depth usage samples](https://github.com/GoogleCloudPlatform/php-docs-samples/tree/master/pubsub/).
