# Configuration

## Installation

```php
composer require ecotone/kafka
```

Implementation is based on [rdkafka](https://github.com/arnaud-lb/php-rdkafka).

## Configuration

In order to use **Kafka Support** we need to add **KafkaBrokerConfiguration** to our **Dependency Container.**

{% tabs %}
{% tab title="Symfony" %}

```php
# config/services.yaml
# You need to have Kafka instance running on your localhost, or change DSN
    Ecotone\Kafka\Configuration\KafkaBrokerConfiguration:
        class: Ecotone\Kafka\Configuration\KafkaBrokerConfiguration
        arguments:
            $bootstrapServers:
                - localhost:9094
```

{% endtab %}

{% tab title="Laravel" %}

```php
# Register Kafka Service in Provider

use Ecotone\Kafka\Configuration\KafkaBrokerConfiguration;

public function register()
{
     $this->app->singleton(KafkaBrokerConfiguration::class, function () {
         return new KafkaBrokerConfiguration(['localhost:9094']);
     });
}
```

{% endtab %}

{% tab title="Lite" %}

```php
use Ecotone\Kafka\Configuration\KafkaBrokerConfiguration;

$application = EcotoneLiteApplication::boostrap(
    [
        KafkaBrokerConfiguration::class => new KafkaBrokerConfiguration(['localhost:9094'])
    ]
);
```

{% endtab %}
{% endtabs %}

{% hint style="info" %}
We register our **KafkaBrokerConfiguration** under the class name **Ecotone\Kafka\Configuration\KafkaBrokerConfiguration**. This will help Ecotone resolve it automatically, without any additional configuration.
{% endhint %}

# Agent Instructions
This documentation is published with GitBook. GitBook is the documentation platform designed so that both humans and AI agents can read, navigate, and reason over technical content effectively. Learn more at gitbook.com.

## Querying This Documentation
If you need additional information that is not directly available in this page, you can query the documentation dynamically by asking a question.

Perform an HTTP GET request on the current page URL with the `ask` query parameter, and the optional `goal` query parameter:

```
GET https://docs.ecotone.tech/modules/kafka-support/configuration.md?ask=<question>&goal=<endgoal>
```

`ask` is the immediate question: it should be specific, self-contained, and written in natural language.
`goal` is optional and describes the broader end goal you are ultimately trying to accomplish on behalf of the user. GitBook uses it to tailor the answer towards what is most useful for that goal.

The response will contain a direct answer to the question and relevant excerpts and sources from the documentation.

Use this mechanism when the answer is not explicitly present in the current page, you need clarification or additional context, or you want to retrieve related documentation sections.
