Kafka trigger based simple rules action usage

This example demonstrates usage of kafka trigger with rules action. Consider system related to order identification and processing, kafka trigger will listen to a topic where order information is available, based on price and order category gift coupons can be issued to the customer.

Setup

1. Get rules repo.

go get -u github.com/project-flogo/rules/... 

1. Install kafka.

Usage

Get the repo and in this example main.go, functions.go both are available. We can directly build and run the app or create flogo rule app and run it.

Run kafka and zookeeper

Open a terminal and navigate to kafka home.

cd $KAFKA_HOME
#run zookeeper
bin/zookeeper-server-start.sh config/zookeeper.properties

Open another terminal.

cd $KAFKA_HOME
#run kafka server
bin/kafka-server-start.sh config/server.properties

Create topic

Open terminal and create topic which is given in kafka trigger. Here orderinfo is topic name used in trigger.

cd $KAFKA_HOME
bin/kafka-topics.sh --create --bootstrap-server localhost:9092 --replication-factor 1 --partitions 1 --topic orderinfo

Direct build and run

cd $GOPATH/src/github.com/project-flogo/rules/examples/flogo/simple-kafka
go build
./simple-kafka

OR

Create app using flogo cli

cd $GOPATH/src/github.com/project-flogo/rules/examples/flogo/simple-kafka
flogo create -f flogo.json simpleKafkaRulesApp
cp functions.go simpleKafkaRulesApp/src
cd simpleKafkaRulesApp
flogo build
./bin/simpleKafkaRulesApp

Send the data over kafka producer

cd $KAFKA_HOME
bin/kafka-console-producer.sh --broker-list localhost:9092 --topic orderinfo
