Is there an async version of nats::jetstream?

[pashinin]

I want to do something like:

...
tokio::select! {
    res = consumer.pull() => {
        let msg = res.unwrap();
        tokio::spawn(async move {
            println!("got message {:?}", msg.data);
            msg.ack().unwrap();
        });
    }
    _ = shutdown_signal() => {
        info!("shutting down worker");
    }
}
...

But I cant do this because it is not async.

Or how can I catch SIGINT while waiting for a message?

You can do push based subscribers.. Tyler may have some more complete insight.

just getting familiar with nats and I have a similar question. All consumer factories, like for example create_or_open, require a blocking synchronous connection

I'm not sure how to use the jetstream module in an async context

@spacejam can comment some more here on how to use the client and JetStream with async constructs.

Hey @pashinin, we are currently in the process of getting async (now available again via the asynk module of the nats crate) up to parity with the sync client. Until this is released, you can use all of the blocking functionality using the various blocking threadpool implementations that convert blocking operations into async operations. Examples of this are the blocking crate, the various tokio blocking operations, etc...

Signal handling is generally best done using the signal_hook crate, and you can use one of the async adapters for this in order to join on multiple types of futures at specific suspension points.

as there is a whole new async client , I think this is answered.
