Proposed change
Add a message flags enum to NatsMsg
to indicate important message states:
- Message payload is empty
- Messages is a
No responders
error message
Use case
Currently we rely on message Data being null to indicate that a message is empty which doesn't work reliably when it comes to value types. For example for int
a 0
(zero) might mean an empty payload or actual 0
being passed as payload. So we can't rely on the default
values.
Also no-responders
message from the server has a specific format which can be detected much easier and flagged while building the message.
Since NatsMsg
is a struct we should be careful not to bloat it hence we can use a flags enum to minimize the impact.
