Prerequisite

Commands

  • Start Zookeper Container and expose PORT 2181.
docker run -p 2181:2181 zookeeper
  • Start Kafka Container, expose PORT 9092 and setup ENV variables.
docker run -p 9092:9092 \
-e KAFKA_ZOOKEEPER_CONNECT=<PRIVATE_IP>:2181 \
-e KAFKA_ADVERTISED_LISTENERS=PLAINTEXT://<PRIVATE_IP>:9092 \

Code

client.js

const { Kafka } = require("kafkajs");

exports.kafka = new Kafka({
  clientId: "my-app",
  brokers: ["<PRIVATE_IP>:9092"],
});

admin.js

const { kafka } = require("./client");

async function init() {
  const admin = kafka.admin();
  console.log("Admin connecting...");
  admin.connect();
  console.log("Adming Connection Success...");

  console.log("Creating Topic [rider-updates]");

    topics: [
      {
        topic: "rider-updates",
        numPartitions: 2,
      },
    ],
  });
  console.log("Topic Created Success [rider-updates]");

  console.log("Disconnecting Admin..");
  await admin.disconnect();
}

init();

producer.js

const { kafka } = require("./client");
const readline = require("readline");

const rl = readline.createInterface({
  input: process.stdin,
  output: process.stdout,
});

async function init() {
  const producer = kafka.producer();

  console.log("Connecting Producer");
  await producer.connect();
  console.log("Producer Connected Successfully");

  rl.setPrompt("> ");
  rl.prompt();

  rl.on("line", async function (line) {
    const [riderName, location] = line.split(" ");
    await producer.send({
      topic: "rider-updates",
      messages: [
        {
          partition: location.toLowerCase() === "north" ? 0 : 1,
          key: "location-update",
          value: JSON.stringify({ name: riderName, location }),
        },
      ],
    });
  }).on("close", async () => {
    await producer.disconnect();
  });
}

init();

consumer.js

const { kafka } = require("./client");
const group = process.argv[2];

async function init() {
  const consumer = kafka.consumer({ groupId: group });
  await consumer.connect();

  await consumer.subscribe({ topics: ["rider-updates"], fromBeginning: true });

  await consumer.run({
    eachMessage: async ({ topic, partition, message, heartbeat, pause }) => {
      console.log(
        `${group}: [${topic}]: PART:${partition}:`,
        message.value.toString()
      );

The Docker command fails when running Kafka from it. It is somehow unable to reach with zookeeper and I am getting the below provided error. Is anyone facing the same issue? Let me know.

Update Private_IP variable with your current IP Address using 'ifconfig' or 'ipconfig'

change the topic to something else like rider-status, I also had the same issue. i think it will keep the whatever code we deployed first so just change the topic. I hope it will work as intended.

Also if you are getting error that port received NaN then type URL like this localhost:9092 instead of http://localhost:9092

Edit: add kafka UI

Yes. Simply run producer file onto a different server you will have to copy client.js also on to another server

Thank you for replying but I suspect I will have issues with the docker files and with establishing a connection from the producer to the consumer. Should I be worried about that?
