Eyegway

Intro

Eyegway is a python package for data routing through Redis / Dragonfly / KeyDB. It is designed to be a simple and easy to use package for sending any data from a generic source to a generic destination by exploting HUBs(and)SPOKES paradigm. The user can send data to a generic HUB, which has a data queue and a data history, and the data can be pulled from anywhere else.

The library needs a running instance of Redis / Dragonfly / KeyDB to work.

Installation

pip install -e .

Basic Usage

Create a Hub

In order to use the machinery, you need to create a Hub with a unique name which is used to identify the hub across the network:

import eyegway.hubs.asyn as eha
hub = eha.AsyncMessageHub.create(name='my_hub')

This method will create a new hub with the given name using default settings retrieved from environment variables.

How to override default settings?

Programmatically Override Settings

If you want to override the default settings, you can pass a configuration dictionary to the create method:

import eyegway.hubs as eh
config = eh.HubsConfig(max_buffer_size=1000)
hub = ehs.MessageHub.create(hub_name, config=config)

Override Environment Variables

Set the following environment variables before launching the application:

eyegway_hubs_redis_host="localhost"
eyegway_hubs_redis_port=6379
eyegway_hubs_max_buffer_size=10
eyegway_hubs_max_history_size=10

Send and Receive Data from/to the Hub

Then you can send data to the hub:

await hub.push({'counter':0})

From another process/node, you can pull the data from the hub:

import eyegway.hubs.asyn as eha
hub = eha.AsyncMessageHub.create(name='my_hub')
data = await hub.pop()
print(data)

The pop method will remove the data from the hub's queue. If you want to read the data without removing it, you can use the last method:

data = await hub.last(offset=0)
print(data)

Examples

You can find more examples (both for Async and Sync version of the hubs) in Hubs Examples

CLI Usage

Eyegway comes with a CLI tool to interact with the hubs. You can use the eyegway command to interact with the hubs.

eyegway hubs

For example:

eyegway hubs search # List all the hubs

eyegway hubs info -n $HUB_NAME # Get information about the hub

eyegway hubs last -n $HUB_NAME # Print the last data in the hub in a fancy way

eyegway hubs stream-demo -n $HUB_NAME # Stream demo data to the hub

API Rest Server

Eyegway comes with a REST API server to interact with the hubs. You can use the eyegway command to start the server.

eyegway hubs rest-serve

Then go to http://localhost:55221/docs to see the API documentation (where 55221is the default Eyegwat port, you can change it using the --port option).

WebUI

If the REST API server is running, you can run the battery-included WebUI to interact with the hubs. The webui is a Svelte package available in the relative websubfolder, see: Eyegway Svelte for more details.
