# PyQueue Client

A Python library for adding messages to PyQueue with support for both local JSON files and remote PyQueue servers.

## Installation

```sh
pip install pyqueue-client
```

## Usage

### Local Queue (JSON File)

```python
from pyqueue_client import PyQueue

# Initialize local queue
notifier = PyQueue(queue_type="local", queue_file="queue.json")

# Add message with auto-generated ID
notifier.add_message({
    "message_field_1": "Message Field Value 1",
    "message_field_2": "Message Field Value 2",
})

# Add message with custom ID
notifier.add_message({
    "message_field_1": "Another Message",
    "message_field_2": "Another Value",
}, item_id="custom-message-id-123")

# Retrieve all messages
messages = notifier.get_messages()
print(messages)

# Update a message
notifier.update_message("custom-message-id-123", {
    "message_field_1": "Updated Message",
    "status": "processed"
})

# Remove a message
notifier.remove_message("custom-message-id-123")

# Clear all messages
notifier.clear_queue()
```

### Remote Queue (PyQueue Server)

```python
from pyqueue_client import PyQueue

# Initialize remote queue client
notifier = PyQueue(
    queue_type="remote",
    server_url="http://localhost:8000",
    queue_name="my-queue",
    timeout=30
)

# Add message to remote queue
notifier.add_message({
    "user_id": 12345,
    "action": "send_email",
    "email": "user@example.com",
    "template": "welcome"
})

# Receive messages (SQS-style with visibility timeout)
messages = notifier.receive_messages(max_messages=10, visibility_timeout=30)
for message in messages:
    # Process message
    print(f"Processing message: {message['Id']}")
    
    # Delete message after processing (using receipt handle)
    notifier.delete_message(message['ReceiptHandle'])

# Get queue information
queue_info = notifier.get_queue_info()
print(f"Queue has {queue_info['message_count']} messages")

# Health check
if notifier.health_check():
    print("Remote server is healthy")
```

### Consumer Pattern

```python
import time
from pyqueue_client import PyQueue

# Consumer for processing messages
consumer = PyQueue(
    queue_type="remote",
    server_url="http://localhost:8000",
    queue_name="task-queue"
)

def process_message(message):
    """Process a single message"""
    print(f"Processing: {message['message_body']}")
    # Your processing logic here
    time.sleep(1)  # Simulate work
    return True

# Main consumer loop
while True:
    try:
        # Receive messages with visibility timeout
        messages = consumer.receive_messages(max_messages=5, visibility_timeout=60)
        
        for message in messages:
            try:
                # Process the message
                if process_message(message):
                    # Delete message after successful processing
                    consumer.delete_message(message['ReceiptHandle'])
                    print(f"✅ Message {message['Id']} processed successfully")
                else:
                    print(f"❌ Failed to process message {message['Id']}")
                    
            except Exception as e:
                print(f"Error processing message {message['Id']}: {e}")
        
        if not messages:
            # No messages available, wait before polling again
            time.sleep(5)
            
    except KeyboardInterrupt:
        print("Consumer stopped")
        break
    except Exception as e:
        print(f"Consumer error: {e}")
        time.sleep(10)  # Wait before retrying
```
