# Azure Event Grid Publisher Client Module for Go

[Azure Event Grid](https://learn.microsoft.com/azure/event-grid/overview) is a highly scalable, fully managed Pub Sub message distribution service that offers flexible message consumption patterns. For more information about Event Grid see: [link](https://learn.microsoft.com/azure/event-grid/overview).

The client in this package can publish events to [Event Grid topics](https://learn.microsoft.com/azure/event-grid/concepts).

> NOTE: This client does NOT work with Event Grid namespaces. Use the [`aznamespaces`][godoc_namespaces] module instead.

## Getting started

### Install the package

Install the Azure Event Grid client module for Go with `go get`:

```bash
go get github.com/Azure/azure-sdk-for-go/sdk/messaging/eventgrid/azeventgrid
```

### Prerequisites

- [Supported](https://aka.ms/azsdk/go/supported-versions) version of Go
- An [Azure subscription](https://azure.microsoft.com/free/)
- An Event Grid topic. You can create an Event Grid topic using the [Azure Portal](https://learn.microsoft.com/azure/event-grid/custom-event-quickstart-portal).

### Authenticate the client

Event Grid publisher clients authenticate using either:
- A TokenCredential. An example of that can be viewed here: [ExampleNewClientWithSharedKeyCredential][godoc_example_newclient].
- A shared key credential. An example of that can be viewed here: [ExampleNewClientWithSharedKeyCredential][godoc_example_newclientsk]
- A Shared Access Signature (SAS). An example of that can be viewed here: [ExampleNewClientWithSharedKeyCredential][godoc_example_newclientsas].

# Key concepts

The client in this package can publish events to Azure Event Grid topics. Topics are published to using the [publisher.Client][godoc_publisher_client]. The topic
you publish to will be configured to accept events of a certain format: EventGrid, CloudEvent or Custom. Separate functions are available on the publisher client for each format.

# Examples

Examples for various scenarios can be found on [pkg.go.dev][godoc_examples] or in the example*_test.go files in our GitHub repo for [azeventgrid][source].

# Troubleshooting

### Logging

This module uses the classification-based logging implementation in `azcore`. To enable console logging for all SDK modules, set the environment variable `AZURE_SDK_GO_LOGGING` to `all`. 

Use the `azcore/log` package to control log event output.

```go
import (
  "fmt"
  azlog "github.com/Azure/azure-sdk-for-go/sdk/azcore/log"
)

// print log output to stdout
azlog.SetListener(func(event azlog.Event, s string) {
    fmt.Printf("[%s] %s\n", event, s)
})
```
