Overview

Connectiva is a powerful and flexible Python library designed to streamline communication across diverse microservices architectures. Whether you're using REST APIs, gRPC, Kafka, WebSockets, or traditional message brokers, Connectiva provides a unified interface to handle all your communication needs effortlessly.

Features

• Protocol Agnostic: Automatically detects and adapts to the communication protocol being used, whether it's REST, gRPC, Kafka, RabbitMQ, WebSockets, GraphQL, or file-based communication.
• Ease of Use: Leverages an intuitive, consistent API that allows you to connect, send, receive, and disconnect seamlessly across different communication methods.
• Extensibility: Built with modularity in mind, allowing developers to extend or customize communication strategies as needed.
• Efficiency: Utilizes efficient connection management and message handling to ensure robust performance in high-load environments.

Usage

Here's a quick guide to using Connectiva in your Python projects:

1. Initialize Connectiva

from connectiva import Connectiva, Message

# Instantiate Connectiva with desired configuration
connectiva = Connectiva(
    endpoint="kafka://localhost:9092",
    broker_list="localhost:9092",
    topic="my_topic",
    group_id="my_group"
)

2. Connect to the Communication Endpoint

connectiva.connect()

3. Send a Message

message = Message(action="process", data="Hello, Kafka!")
response = connectiva.send(message)
print(f"Response: {response}")

4. Receive a Message

received_message = connectiva.receive()
print(f"Received: {received_message}")

5. Disconnect

connectiva.disconnect()

Configuration

Connectiva is designed to be flexible and can be configured to suit your needs. Here's an example configuration:

connectiva = Connectiva(
    endpoint="grpc://localhost:50051",
    topic="my_topic",
    queue_name="my_queue",
)

Extending Connectiva

Connectiva is built with extensibility in mind. You can easily extend the library by adding new communication strategies or customizing existing ones. Simply create a new strategy class that implements the CommunicationMethod interface and add it to the strategy map.
