search for topic

[tomas12]

Hi, your app is really cool. What I miss is a possibility to search and remove topics. When testing we are dealing with many topics and this would make life more easier. Thanks!

[Crim]

So you'd like a search option added here to quickly locate topics? And then the possibility to remove topics?

[tomas12]

Yes that would be great. Deletion could work like the one at the Consumer Group (on the right side). And especially when dealing with many topics a search would be also very helpful

If you ever go implementing the delete/management features, can we get roles in place please @Crim ?
Would be lovely to have a read-only role

[Crim]

Yea that's definitely a concern. I've been trying to keep all of the features so far non-destructive.

I've got an initial implementation for this in PR #150 where deleting a topic requires the Administrator credential. Unsure if I should hold back the removing functionality until we have more fine grained control over roles/abilities.

@Crim Thanks for working on this 👍 I'd vote that roles is a must for any future destructive changes as there is kafka-manager from yahoo for destructive-only action and this is basically the only app on market that allows to give easy read-only access for teams to view data without killing the kafka

[tomas12]

Thank you too for working on this!

I've added searching to a few spots under the 'Cluster Explorer' section of the application.

While its now implemented, I think I'm going to hold back the removal of topics until custom user roles is released. I've got that started in a separate ticket, but not entirely sure how long before that work will be complete.

I've created #157 to track deletion of topics.
