Important information

For topic completion, you must:

  1. Have kcat in your ZSH PATH
  2. $HOME/.config/kcat.conf configured to connect to your Apache Kafka cluster

Usage

To start using the Kafka autocompletion just download the repository locally and source kafka.plugin.zsh

Supported completion

  • kafka-topics
  • kafka-acls
  • kafka-configs
  • kafka-console-producer
  • kafka-console-consumer
  • kafka-consumer-perf-test
  • kafka-producer-perf-test
  • kafka-avro-console-consumer
  • kafka-avro-console-producer

Notes

  • The source of information used for the completion is gathered from the usage of the CLI tools.
  • This script relies on Apache Kafka Confluent distribution (either Open Source or Enterprise).
  • To avoid reloading and parsing all the information at the beginning of each session, a script kafka.plugin.zsh.generator is generating the kafka.plugin.zsh auto-completion file with hardcoded information.
