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]");
await admin.createTopics({
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()
);
},
});
}
init();
- Run Multiple Consumers
node consumer.js <GROUP_NAME>
- Create Producer
node producer.js
