# go-worker
A simple, reusable, production-ready background worker module for NATS JetStream in Go.
This module allows you to easily run reliable, concurrent background workers that consume messages from JetStream streams using pull-based subscriptions. It integrates seamlessly with the `go-nats` embedded/clustered NATS module and follows the same clean, functional-options pattern as the rest of your toolkit.
## Features
- Pull-based JetStream consumer with configurable batch fetching
- Concurrent message processing (configurable workers)
- Automatic stream and consumer creation (idempotent)
- Configurable storage (Memory or File) for development vs production durability
- Graceful shutdown with context cancellation and subscription draining
- Explicit Ack/Nak handling with retry support
- Custom logger injection
- Works with embedded or external NATS servers
## Installation
```bash
go get git.citc.tech/go/web/worker
```
## Quick Start
```go
package main
import (
"context"
"log/slog"
"os"
"git.citc.tech/go/web/nats"
"git.citc.tech/go/web/worker"
)
func main() {
logger := slog.New(slog.NewJSONHandler(os.Stdout, nil))
// Connect to NATS (embedded or external)
nc, natsShutdown, err := nats.New()
if err != nil {
logger.Error("failed to connect to NATS", "error", err)
os.Exit(1)
}
defer natsShutdown()
// Create background worker
w, err := worker.New(nc,
worker.WithStream("ORDERS"),
worker.WithConsumer("order-processor", "orders.process"),
worker.WithHandler(func(ctx context.Context, msg *nats.Msg) error {
logger.Info("processing order", "data", string(msg.Data))
// Your business logic here
return nil
}),
worker.WithConcurrency(5),
worker.WithStorage(nats.FileStorage), // or MemoryStorage for dev
worker.WithLogger(logger),
)
if err != nil {
logger.Error("failed to create worker", "error", err)
os.Exit(1)
}
// Run worker (blocks until shutdown signal)
go w.Run()
// Your main application (e.g. HTTP server) runs here...
// On exit
defer w.Shutdown()
}
```
## Options
| Option | Description | Default |
|-------------------------|--------------------------------------------------|------------------------|
| `WithStream(name)` | JetStream stream name | required |
| `WithConsumer(name, subject)` | Consumer name and filter subject | required |
| `WithDurable(name)` | Durable consumer name (if different from consumer) | uses consumer name |
| `WithHandler(h)` | Message processing function | required |
| `WithConcurrency(n)` | Number of concurrent goroutines | 1 |
| `WithAckWait(d)` | Time to wait for acknowledgment | 30s |
| `WithMaxDeliver(n)` | Maximum delivery attempts | 1 |
| `WithLogger(l)` | Custom slog logger | slog.Default() |
| `WithStorage(t)` | Stream storage type (MemoryStorage or FileStorage) | FileStorage (safe) |
## Storage Types
- `nats.MemoryStorage` — Fast, in-memory only (lost on restart). Great for dev/testing.
- `nats.FileStorage` — Persistent on disk (survives restarts). Recommended for production.
