# Taps - (Tokio Async Pub/Sub)

[](https://docs.rs/taps)
`taps` is an in-process async message broker built on the tokio runtime that allows multiple clients to communicate with each other through a central broker, routing messages based on topics.
## Features
- **Topic-based Routing**: Easily send and receive messages based on topics.
- **Asynchronous**: Built for asynchronous environments, utilizing the power of Tokio.
- **Scalable**: Designed to handle multiple clients communicating simultaneously.
## Quick Start
### Installation
Add the following to your `Cargo.toml`:
```toml
[dependencies]
taps = "0.2.2"
tokio = { version = "1.33.0", features = ["full"] }
```
### Usage
```rust
use taps::{Broker, Client};
#[tokio::main]
async fn main() {
let mut broker = Broker::new();
let (worker_tx, worker_rx) = tokio::sync::mpsc::channel(32);
tokio::spawn(async move {
broker.run(worker_rx).await;
});
let mut client1 = Client::new(worker_tx.clone());
client1.subscribe("topic1".to_string()).await;
let mut client2 = Client::new(worker_tx.clone());
client2.subscribe("topic1".to_string()).await;
client1
.publish("topic1".to_string(), "Hello from client1!".to_string())
.await;
if let Some(msg_from_client2) = client2.receive("topic1").await {
println!("{msg_from_client2}"); // Outputs: "Hello from client1!"
}
}
```
