Kafka Client - Node.js TypeScript App

Kafka Client is a Node.js application written in TypeScript that demonstrates how to use Apache Kafka while adhering to SOLID principles.

Getting Started

Follow these instructions to set up and run the Kafka Client Node.js TypeScript app.

Prerequisites

To run this application, you need to have Apache Kafka installed and running on your machine. You can download and install Kafka from the official website: Apache Kafka.

Installation

git clone <repository_url>

2. Navigate to the project directory:

cd kafka-client

3. Install the dependencies:

npm install

Configuration

Before running the app, make sure to update the Kafka configuration in src/kafkaConfig.ts with your Kafka broker details:

// src/kafkaConfig.ts
export const kafkaConfig = {
    brokers :["localhost:9092"], // Replace with your Kafka broker(s) information
    topic: "test-topic", // Replace with your Kafka topic name
    clientId:"kafka-client" // Replace with your Kafka client ID
};

Running the App

To start the application, run the following command:

npm start

This will start the Kafka producer and consumer, demonstrating the interaction between the two.
