Google Cloud Pub/Sub C++ Client Library

This directory contains an idiomatic C++ client library for interacting with Cloud Pub/Sub, an asynchronous messaging service that decouples services that produce events from services that process events.

While this library is GA, please note that the Google Cloud C++ client libraries do not follow Semantic Versioning.

Quickstart

The quickstart/ directory contains a minimal environment to get started using this client library in a larger project. The following "Hello World" program is used in this quickstart, and should give you a taste of this library.

#include "google/cloud/pubsub/publisher.h"
#include <iostream>

int main(int argc, char* argv[]) try {
  if (argc != 3) {
    std::cerr << "Usage: " << argv[0] << " <project-id> <topic-id>\n";
    return 1;
  }

  std::string const project_id = argv[1];
  std::string const topic_id = argv[2];

  // Create a namespace alias to make the code easier to read.
  namespace pubsub = ::google::cloud::pubsub;
  auto publisher = pubsub::Publisher(
      pubsub::MakePublisherConnection(pubsub::Topic(project_id, topic_id)));
  auto id =
      publisher
          .Publish(pubsub::MessageBuilder{}.SetData("Hello World!").Build())
          .get();
  if (!id) throw std::move(id).status();
  std::cout << "Hello World published with id=" << *id << "\n";

  return 0;
} catch (google::cloud::Status const& status) {
  std::cerr << "google::cloud::Status thrown: " << status << "\n";
  return 1;
}

Build and Install

  • Packaging maintainers or developers who prefer to install the library in a fixed directory (such as /usr/local or /opt) should consult the packaging guide.
  • Developers who prefer using a package manager such as vcpkg, or Conda, should follow the instructions for their package manager.
  • Developers wanting to use the libraries as part of a larger CMake or Bazel project should consult the quickstart guides for the library or libraries they want to use.
  • Developers wanting to compile the library just to run some examples or tests should read the project's top-level README.
  • Contributors and developers to google-cloud-cpp should consult the guide to set up a development workstation.
