## Announcement: New Nodes for Apache Pulsar

Hello everyone,

I am thrilled to announce the release of my new nodes for Apache Pulsar! 🎉

Apache Pulsar is a distributed messaging and streaming platform, ideal for applications requiring low latency and high resilience.

### Key Features

- **Pulsar Producer** : Send messages to a Pulsar topic.
- **Pulsar Consumer** : Receive messages from a Pulsar topic.
- **Pulsar Reader** : Read messages from a Pulsar topic.

These nodes use several configuration nodes:

- **Pulsar Client** : Configure the connection settings for the Pulsar client.
- **Pulsar Authentication** : Configure the authentication settings for the Pulsar client.
- **Pulsar Schema** : Configure the schema settings for producing and consuming messages.

You can find the source code and full documentation on GitHub:

Thanks for the contribution @ng-galien

But... just to let you know, you have not added this to `npm`

You need to publish this node, before it can be added by others in their flow  
(at least in the standard way)

Once its available in `npm` you can then add it to the collection.

Please see : [Library - Node-RED](https://flows.nodered.org/add/node)

Also, if this is a new node, the naming convention has changed.

Please see : [Packaging : Node-RED](https://nodered.org/docs/creating-nodes/packaging#:~:text=We%20updated%20our%20naming%20requirements,scope%20or%20an%20organisation%20scope).

**EDIT**

It seems you have published already 👍  
But you name the repo `node-red-contrib-pulsar` be careful as to not confuse the names.

`node-red-contrib-pulsar` is not `node-red-pulsar`

This could be confusing, at least for me 🤪

Unless it's just me, I will be searching for : `node-red-contrib-pulsar`

Hi Marcus, thx for your feedback!

I've just renamed the repo to node-red-pulsar as you suggested.

But one more question about the npm registration from Node-Red, do I have to update it manually after an updated version is published on npm?

Thx.

You do yes...

it was once automated, but I think a few problems occurred in doing so - I can't quite re-call why.

After a new update has been published to NPM, give it a few mins, and log on to the [Flows](https://flows.nodered.org) website (I login with Github), find your Node, and check for updates.

Have just done this for you.

Thank you so much!

We can think about a Github action to automate this?

One for @knolleary to answer.

But I don't think there is an API

There was an update storm by a user a while ago, and was quickly answered to, as it caused some performance hit with the catalogue.
