Features

• Create multiple KafkaConsumer to run concurrently

• Configured via Master Consumer

• Sends a return in the form of JSON to the function parameter specified in the Consumer Master

• Can turn KafkaConsumer on and off with just click of a button

• Logger is available in the script, so when a failure occurs it can be investigated via log messages

Requirements

• Install python library: pip install kafka-python

Compatibility

• Fill in the mandatory fields correctly, you can click the GET VALUES button to see the return results from Kafka in JSON format which is useful for mapping values.

• Create a function that will be used to receive JSON and perform certain operations. In this example, the function is to create a new PO and SO record from the captured Kafka message. By default, the user used to run this function is SUPERUSER_ID, you can specify the default user in the function to match record rule user access model.

• The logger results when odoo receives a message from KafkaConsumer.

• As a result of executing the function, a new Purchase Request and Sales Quotation record has been created. Make sure the function you create has gone through testing so that no errors occur when Kafka is running.

• KafkaConsumer will automatically stop when the odoo service is turned off or restarted, but you can turn it off manually by clicking the STOP button in the Form View or Tree View.

The odoo feature allows users to use KafkaProducer by default, with import from kafka import KafkaProducer. So, this module doesn't provide that feature because it's easy to do.

To send message to Kafka, just do like the following example:

from odoo import models, fields, api
from kafka import KafkaProducer
from json import dumps



class POInherit(models.Model):
    _inherit = 'purchase.order'
    


    @api.model
    def create(self, values):
        producer = KafkaProducer(bootstrap_servers=['localhost:9092'],
                        value_serializer=lambda x: dumps(x).encode('utf-8'))
        for x in self:
            data = {
                'partner_id': 1
                }
            producer.send('po-topic', value=data)
            producer.flush()
        

        return super(POInherit, self).create(values)
