@optum/knack-avro v1.4.1

first things first...

$ npm i @optum/knack-avro

methods

• toAvroBuffer: (data, schema, schemaId)
  • get avro encoded buffer from json
    • data: Object json object to encode
    • schema: Object or String schema to use when encoding the data
    • schemaId: Number schemaId of the schema from the schema registry
• fromAvroBuffer: (schema, buffer)
  • get json from avro buffer and schema
    • schema: Object or String overrides all other options
    • buffer: Buffer avro encoded buffer

Examples

const {fromAvroBuffer, toAvroBuffer} = require("@optum/knack-avro");

// can be string or json
const avroSchema = {
	type: "record",
	name: "messageInfo",
	namespace: "io.knack.schemas.avro",
	fields: [
		{
			name: "content",
			type: "string"
		},
		{
			name: "channel",
			type: ["null", "string"],
			default: null
		}
	]
};

// example message
const messageInfo = {
	content: "test content"
};

// the schemaId of the avroSchema from the schema registry
const schemaId = 123;

// encode messageInfo to Avro buffer
const msgBuffer = toAvroBuffer(messageInfo, avroSchema, schemaId);

// decode msgBuffer to json based on avroSchema
const {value, schemaId} = fromAvroBuffer(avroSchema, msgBuffer);

console.log(schemaId);
/**
123
*/
console.log(value);
/**
{
    "content": "test content",
    "channel": null
}
*/
