Decide which messages are posted to Kafka, based on entity property values or some other business logic. #5689

Provide us with the following info:

  • ABP Framework version: ABP CLI 7.3.0
  • UI Type: Blazor Server
  • Database System: EF Core (SQL Server)
  • Tiered (for MVC) or Auth Server Separated (for Angular): Yes
  • Exception message and full stack trace: NA
  • Steps to reproduce the issue: Probably applicable

I have enabled ABP framework to post message to Kafka using the builtin mechanism (not PublishAsync()). The message gets posted correctly. But sometimes I may want to publish the message only if say the status = "ACTIVE" or IsExpired = false. Is there any way like overriding a class method or dependency injection that I can introduce this check in the publish pipeline which will publish the message only if certain conditions are met?

I know PublishAsync() can achieve it for me, but then I will end up writing the PublishAsync() for about 95% of the entities just because I want to send the message only when status = "ACTIVE".

Let me know what additional information do you need ?

    Hi,

    I have enabled ABP framework to post message to Kafka using the builtin mechanism (not PublishAsync()).

    So are you manually using the Kafka API to post messages instead of EventBus?

    I may want to publish the message only if say the status = "ACTIVE" or IsExpired = false

    Can you explain in detail? thanks.

    Hi,

    So are you manually using the Kafka API to post messages instead of EventBus?

    Sorry, I was too short in my context. We have enabled Kafka using AbpEventBusKafkaModule and *Etos and use the SaveChanges() to trigger the messages. We do not (want to) use _distributedEventBus.PublishAsync(...) to explicitly fire the message.

    I may want to publish the message only if say the status = "ACTIVE" or IsExpired = false

    Can you explain in detail? thanks.

    So, in the implementation so far, when a new entity is created a message is published immediately. But maybe I do not want the message published because an entity property IsActive = false. Later sometime, IsActive = true will happen. That time the message should be published. It doesn't matter to me if the publish of the entity happens using UpdatedEvent or CreatedEvent.

    Basically, I am looking for a mechanism to filter which messages should be posted.

    Hi,

    Sorry, but there is no such filter.

    You can do something like this: https://docs.abp.io/en/abp/latest/Distributed-Event-Bus#publishing-events-inside-entity-aggregate-root-classes

    public class MyEntity : AggregateRoot<Guid>
    {
        public bool IsActive { get; private set; }
        
        public void ChangeIsActive(bool isActive)
        {
            IsActive = isActive;
            
            AddDistributedEvent(....);
        }
    }

    The approach in the link seems promising, we will get it a try.
