how can we know the topic details(current offset etc) of a particular topic?

@mostafa
I have set the below offset and
let offset = 0;
but the topic always reads data from 0th offset, in our use case we want to consume data from current offset.
Is there any way to do so?

You can pass the start offset by populating it in the ReaderConfig.

I suppose this is resolved. Feel free to reopen it if the issue persists.

i tried the above

import {
    Writer,
    Reader,
    Connection,
    SchemaRegistry,
    SCHEMA_TYPE_JSON,
    SASL_SCRAM_SHA512, START_OFFSETS
} from "k6/x/kafka";

  reader = new Reader({
        brokers: brokers,
        topic: topic,
        partition: partition,
        offset: START_OFFSETS.START_OFFSETS_LAST_OFFSET,
        sasl: saslConfig,
        tls: tlsConfig,
    });
    

but it gives the below error

    ERRO[0002] TypeError: Cannot read property 'START_OFFSETS_LAST_OFFSET' of undefined

@arpitaso
import START_OFFSETS_LAST_OFFSET directly.

@arpitaso
it actually should be startOffset: LAST_OFFSET

see #281 for more clarity

Hi,
I actually still have issues reading from latest offset from particular topic and partition. Is there any possibility to properly document and confirm what is the correct way to use START_OFFSETS_LAST_OFFSET or LAST_OFFSET?
Thanx a lot.
