@teamteanpm2024/soluta-autem-perspiciatis

Apollo graphql subscriptions over Kafka, using kafkajs. Inspired on graphql-kafka-subscriptions.

Communication is done through 1 kafka topic specified in the KafkaPubSub create function. Then channels are used to identify the right subscription.

Installation

  npm install @teamteanpm2024/soluta-autem-perspiciatis

  yarn add @teamteanpm2024/soluta-autem-perspiciatis

Usage

Kafka Pub Sub

import { Kafka } from 'kafkajs';
import { KafkaPubSub } from '@teamteanpm2024/soluta-autem-perspiciatis'

export const pubsub = KafkaPubSub.create({
  topic: 'my-topic',
  kafka: new Kafka({/* ... */})
  groupIdPrefix: "my-group-id-prefix", // used for kafka pub/sub,
  producerConfig: {}, // optional kafkajs producer configuration
  consumerConfig: {} // optional kafkajs consumer configuration
})

Subscription Resolver

{
    collaboration: {
      resolve: (payload: KafkaMessage) => {
        // payload.value will be whatever you sent
        return payload.value;
      },
      subscribe: (_, args) => {
        return pubsub.asyncIterator<YourType>("my channel");
      }
    }
  };

You can also use the subscription payload for the channel.

{
    collaboration: {
      resolve: (payload: KafkaMessage) => {
        // what you publish will end up passing through here and to the client
        return payload.value;
      },
      subscribe: (_, args) => {
        // this is called from the client
        return pubsub.asyncIterator<YourType>(`channel-${args.myId}`);
      }
    }
  };

Publication

Somewhere in your code, you call this:

pubsub.publish("my channel", {
  /* your event data */
});

Use the rest of the kafkajs options:

const event = {/* ... */};
const headers = {
  header1: "value"
};
const producerOptions = { /* options from kafka.js.org/docs/producing: acks, timeout, etc */ };

pubsub.publish("my channel", event, headers, producerOptions);

This ends up publishing the event to kafka (to the topic you used to create the kafkaPubSub) and received by all consumers. The consumer which is listening to my channel will send it to the client.
