nest-kafka

Kafka for NestJS

Features

• Multiple connections
• Consumer and Producer with Schema Registry support (using kafkajs and @kafkajs/confluent-schema-registry under the hood)
• Integration with nest-template
• Consumer
  • Subscribe topic is not static, you can pick it from config
  • Process message in async context with Tracing and Logging
  • String, JSON and Schema Registry decoders for key and value, headers decoder with array support
  • Dead letter queue pattern support with smart retry mechanism
  • Support custom decoders and error handling patterns

Requirements

• Node.js v14 LTS or later
• Yarn

Install

yarn add @byndyusoft/nest-kafka @byndyusoft/class-validator-extended @byndyusoft/nest-opentracing @byndyusoft/nest-pino @kafkajs/confluent-schema-registry @nestjs/common @nestjs/microservices class-transformer class-validator kafkajs rxjs
