Creating a kafka consumer

If your application needs to read messages from a Kafka topic, you must create a consumer object, subscribe to the appropriate topic and start receiving messages.

To create a consumer using this package you can use the consumer method, on Kafka facade:

use Junges\Kafka\Facades\Kafka;

$consumer = Kafka::consumer();

This method also allows you to specify the topics it should consume, the broker and the consumer group id:

use Junges\Kafka\Facades\Kafka;

$consumer = Kafka::consumer(['topic-1', 'topic-2'], 'group-id', 'broker');

This method returns a Junges\Kafka\Consumers\ConsumerBuilder::class instance, and you can use it to configure your consumer.
