[](https://github.com/efcasado/pulsar-elixir/actions/workflows/ci.yml)
[](https://coveralls.io/github/efcasado/pulsar-elixir?branch=main)
[](https://hex.pm/packages/pulsar_elixir)
[](https://hexdocs.pm/pulsar_elixir/)
An Elixir client for [Apache Pulsar](https://pulsar.apache.org/).
## Features
- β Works with [Broadway](https://github.com/dashbitco/broadway) (see [off_broadway_pulsar](https://github.com/efcasado/off_broadway_pulsar))
- π SSL encryption
- π Authentication
- π₯ Consumers (including stream-friendly Reader interface; see [guide](https://hexdocs.pm/pulsar_elixir/reader.html))
- π€ Producers
- πͺΎ Partitioned topics
- ποΈ Compacted topics
- π Schemas (see [guide](https://hexdocs.pm/pulsar_elixir/schemas.html))
- πͺ Chunking (see [guide](https://hexdocs.pm/pulsar_elixir/chunking.html))
- π± Batching (including batch-index ACK; see [guide](https://hexdocs.pm/pulsar_elixir/batching.html))
- ποΈ Compression
- β οΈ NACK and dead-letter topics (see [guide](https://hexdocs.pm/pulsar_elixir/dead_letter_policies.html))
## Installation
Add `:pulsar_elixir` to your dependencies in `mix.exs`:
```elixir
def deps do
[
{:pulsar, "~> 3.0.0", hex: :pulsar_elixir} <!-- x-release-please-version -->
]
end
```
## Quick Start
Assuming you have Pulsar running on `localhost:6650`, the quickest way to consume messages
from a Pulsar topic is using the Reader interface, reading through a client:
```elixir
{:ok, _pid} = Pulsar.Client.start_link(host: "pulsar://localhost:6650")
"persistent://my-tenant/my-namespace/my-topic"
|> Pulsar.Reader.stream(timeout: 100)
|> Enum.map(fn msg -> String.to_integer(msg.payload) end)
|> Enum.filter(fn n -> rem(n, 2) == 0 end)
|> Enum.map(fn n -> n * 2 end)
```
For more complex scenarios and assuming that you have implemented a basic consumer like the
one below:
```elixir
defmodule MyPulsarConsumer do
use Pulsar.Consumer.Callback
def handle_message(message, state) do
IO.puts("Received: #{message.payload}")
{:ok, state}
end
end
```
Put a client in your supervision tree and declare its consumers and producers on it:
```elixir
children = [
{Pulsar.Client,
host: "pulsar://localhost:6650",
producers: [
[topic: "persistent://my-tenant/my-namespace/my-topic", name: :my_producer]
],
consumers: [
[topic: "persistent://my-tenant/my-namespace/my-topic",
subscription_name: "my-subscription",
callback_module: MyPulsarConsumer]
]}
]
Supervisor.start_link(children, strategy: :one_for_one)
```
The client is the only thing your tree holds; consumers and producers run under it. Sets
only known at runtime are added with `Pulsar.Consumer.start/1` and `Pulsar.Producer.start/1`.
Resource initialization is asynchronous, so operations may temporarily return
`{:error, :not_ready}`. Call `Pulsar.Consumer.await_ready/2` or
`Pulsar.Producer.await_ready/2` when work must wait for topic discovery and worker
initialization:
```elixir
:ok = Pulsar.Producer.await_ready(:my_producer, timeout: 10_000)
```
Sending a message using the configured producer can be done as follows:
```elixir
Pulsar.Producer.send(:my_producer, "Hello, Pulsar!")
```
In a script or an IEx session, start the client directly and add to it as you go:
```elixir
{:ok, _pid} = Pulsar.Client.start_link(host: "pulsar://localhost:6650")
{:ok, _pid} = Pulsar.Producer.start(topic: "persistent://public/default/t", name: :p)
```
Brokers, consumers and producers belong to the `:default` client unless told otherwise.
Several clients can coexist, which is useful when connecting to more than one cluster:
```elixir
children = [
{Pulsar.Client, name: :client_1, host: "pulsar://host.cluster1.com:6650"},
{Pulsar.Client, name: :client_2, host: "pulsar://host.cluster2.com:6650"}
]
Supervisor.start_link(children, strategy: :one_for_one)
```
A consumer or producer added at runtime selects its client with `:client`:
```elixir
Pulsar.Producer.start(
client: :client_1,
topic: "persistent://my-tenant/my-namespace/my-topic",
name: :my_producer_1
)
```
See the [architecture guide](https://hexdocs.pm/pulsar_elixir/architecture.html) for ownership,
resource lifecycle, and recovery details.
If your Pulsar cluster requires authentication, you can configure it in the client
using the `auth` key:
```elixir
auth: [
type: Pulsar.Auth.OAuth2,
opts: [
client_id: "<YOUR-OAUTH2-CLIENT-ID>",
client_secret: "<YOUR-OAUTH2-CLIENT-SECRET>",
site: "<YOUR-OAUTH2-ISSUER-URL>",
audience: "<YOUR-OAUTH2-AUDIENCE>"
]
]
```
## Testing
> [!IMPORTANT]
> Do not forget to add the following line to your `/etc/hosts` file before running the tests:
>
> ```
> 127.0.0.1 broker1 broker2
> ```
To run the tests, run the following command:
```
mix test
```
If you want to run only a subset of tests, specify the file including the tests you want to run
```
mix test test/integration/consumer_test.exs
```
You can also run individual tests by passing the line number where they are defined
```
mix test test/integration/consumer_test.exs:43
```
The `examples` directory includes a number of examples that demonstrate the use of the Pulsar client.
For example:
```
mix run examples/bingo.exs
```
