Kafka

medusa-plugin-kafka

Warning: This plugin is currently under development and may be unstable.

Copy to clipboardmedusa-plugin-kafka is a Kafka integration plugin for MedusaJS. This plugin connects to specified Kafka brokers and forwards events triggered in the MedusaJS application to configured Kafka topics, allowing real-time integration of your e-commerce platform with other systems.

For more details on event integration, visit the Medusa Event Documentation.

Features

• Customizable Topic Prefixes: Define prefixes for topics to help categorize and route messages appropriately.
• Event Subscription: Subscribe to specific or all Medusa events and configure individual processing rules for each.
• Data Transformation: Transform event data before sending it to Kafka, ensuring that only relevant information is forwarded.
• Merge Events: Allows writing multiple events to the same topic. For example, product and product variant events can be written to the same topic. If Copy to clipboardbulk is true, all values are added individually to the topic instead of as an array.

Installation

To install the plugin, navigate to your MedusaJS project directory and run the following command:

1
npm install medusa-plugin-kafka

const  productTransform =async (document, container) => {
  let data = document;
  /** @type {import('@medusajs/medusa').ProductService} */
  const productService = container.resolve('productService');

      "categories",
      "categories.category_children",
