Incoming message structure
The @app.listen decorator is used to create a listener for messages sent to the specified NATS subject.
@app.listen(subject='some.subject')
async def subject_for_requests_listener(msg):
subject = msg.subject
message = msg.data
# handle incoming message
When a message is received, the msg
object is passed to the callback function. This object contains the following properties:
- msg.subject (str): The NATS subject that the message was sent from.
- msg.data (dict or str or bytes): Analogue of the body of an HTTP message.
- msg.reply (str): A one-time use subject to send a response.
- msg.sid (str): The subscribe ID that the message was sent from.
- msg.headers (dict): A dictionary containing any custom headers set externally.
