LinKit.Messaging.Kafka

NuGet Version NuGet Downloads

This package provides the Apache Kafka implementation for the abstractions defined in the LinKit.Core Messaging Kit. It allows the LinKit source generator to create publishers and consumers that communicate with a Kafka cluster.

Prerequisites

  • You must have LinKit.Core installed.
  • You need access to a running Kafka cluster.
  • This package depends on the native librdkafka library via Confluent.Kafka. Ensure it is compatible with your target deployment environment, especially for AOT scenarios.

For a complete guide on how to define messages with [Message] and create handlers with [CqrsHandler], please refer to the main LinKit documentation.

Installation

dotnet add package LinKit.Messaging.Kafka

How to Use

1. Configure appsettings.json

Add a configuration section for your Kafka connection. The default section name is "Kafka".

{
  "Kafka": {
    "BootstrapServers": "localhost:9092",
    "GroupId": "my-application-consumer-group"
  }
}

The GroupId is essential for your consumers.

2. Register Services in Program.cs

In your application's startup code (e.g., Program.cs for a Worker Service), use the AddLinKitKafka() extension method after registering the core LinKit services.

using LinKit.Core;
using LinKit.Messaging.Kafka;

var builder = Host.CreateApplicationBuilder(args);

// 1. Register core LinKit services. 
// This generates the IMessagePublisher and your consumer IHostedService(s).
builder.Services.AddLinKitCqrs();
builder.Services.AddLinKitMessaging(); 

// 2. Provide the Kafka implementation.
// This "plugs in" Kafka to the generated services.
builder.Services.AddLinKitKafka(builder.Configuration);

var host = builder.Build();
host.Run();

That's it! Your application is now configured to publish and consume messages via Kafka. The AddLinKitKafka method registers the necessary IBrokerProducer and IBrokerConnection implementations, allowing your auto-generated services to connect to Kafka seamlessly.
