Pulsar Node.js client
npm install pulsar-clientThe Pulsar Node.js client can be used to create Pulsar producers and consumers in Node.js. For the supported Pulsar features, see Client Feature Matrix.
This library works only in Node.js 12.3 or later because it uses:
1. The node-addon-api module to wrap the C++ library.
2. The Mozilla CA file, which is provided by Node.js v12.3.0 and subsequent versions.
> Note
>
> These instructions are only available for versions after 1.8.0. For versions previous to 1.8.0, you need to install the C++ client first. Please switch to the corresponding version branch of this repo to read the specific instructions.
>
> To run the examples, skip this section.
To use the Pulsar Node.js client in your project, run:
``shell`
npm install pulsar-client
or
`shell`
yarn add pulsar-client
Then you can run the following simple end-to-end example:
`javascript
const Pulsar = require('pulsar-client');
(async () => {
// Create a client
const client = new Pulsar.Client({
serviceUrl: 'pulsar://localhost:6650'
});
// Create a producer
const producer = await client.createProducer({
topic: 'persistent://public/default/my-topic',
});
// Create a consumer
const consumer = await client.subscribe({
topic: 'persistent://public/default/my-topic',
subscription: 'sub1'
});
// Send a message
producer.send({
data: Buffer.from("hello")
});
// Receive the message
const msg = await consumer.receive();
console.log(msg.getData().toString());
consumer.acknowledge(msg);
await producer.close();
await consumer.close();
await client.close();
})();
`
You should find the output as:
`
hello
You can see more examples in the examples directory. However, since these examples might use an API that was not released yet, you need to build this module. See the next section.
> Note
>
> Building from source code requires a Node.js version greater than 16.18.
First, clone the repository.
`shell`
git clone https://github.com/apache/pulsar-client-node.git
cd pulsar-client-node
Since this client is a C++ addon that depends on the Pulsar C++ client, you need to install the C++ client first. You need to ensure there is a C++ compiler that supports C++11 installed in your system.
- Install C++ client on Linux:
`shell`
pkg/linux/download-cpp-client.sh
- Install C++ client on Windows:
`shell`
pkg\windows\download-cpp-client.bat
- Install C++ client on macOS:
`shell`
pkg/mac/download-cpp-client.sh
After the C++ client is installed, run the following command to build this C++ addon.
`shell`
npm install
To verify it has been installed successfully, you can run an example like:
> Note
>
> A running Pulsar server is required. The example uses pulsar://localhost:6650 to connect to the server.
`shell`
node examples/producer
You should find the output as:
`

Contributions are welcomed and greatly appreciated.
If your contribution adds Pulsar features for Node.js clients, you need to update both the Pulsar docs and the Client Feature Matrix. See Contribution Guide for more details.
