{% tab title="C#" %} Step 1: Create a new C# project through Visual Studio or using the dotnet CLI

dotnet new console -n MyC#Project

If you are using top level statements, you will have to create two of these projects.

Step 2: In your project's directory(s), install Memphis C# SDK

dotnet add package Memphis.Client -v ${MEMPHIS_CLIENT_VERSION}

Step 3: In your Producer file/project copy this quickstart inside of it

}
catch (Exception ex)

    Console.Error.WriteLine(ex.Message);
}

public class Message
{
    public string Hello { get; set; }

{% endcode %}

Step 4: Run producer.cs

dotnet run

Step 5: Create a new C# project/file called consumer.cs

{% code title="consumer.cs" lineNumbers="true" %}

{% tab title="REST" %} Producing messages to Memphis via REST API can be implemented using any REST-supported language like Go, Python, Java, Node.js, .NET, etc...

For the following tutorial, we will use Node.js .

Step 1: Create an empty dir for the REST API project

mkdir memphis-demo && \
cd memphis-demo

Step 2: Create a new Node project (If needed)

npm init -y

Step 3: Generate a new JWT token generate.js

{% code title="generate.js" lineNumbers="true" %}

var axios = require("axios");
var data = JSON.stringify({
  username: "APPLICATION_TYPE_USERNAME",
  password: "PASSWORD",
  token_expiry_in_minutes: 123,
  refresh_token_expiry_in_minutes: 10000092,
});

var config = {
  method: "post",
  url: "localhost:4444",
  headers: {
    "Content-Type": "application/json",
  },
  data: data,
};

axios(config)
  .then(function (response) {
    console.log(JSON.stringify(response.data));
  })
  .catch(function (error) {
    console.log(error);
  });

{% endcode %}

Step 4: Run generate.js and copy the returned JWT

node generate.js

Step 5: Create a new file called producer.js

var axios = require("axios");
var data = JSON.stringify({
  message: "New Message",
});

var config = {
  method: "post",
  url: "http://localhost:4444/stations/hps/produce/single",
  headers: {
    Authorization: "Bearer <jwt>",
    "Content-Type": "application/json",
  },
  data: data,
};

axios(config)
  .then(function (response) {
    console.log(JSON.stringify(response.data));
  })
  .catch(function (error) {
    console.log(error);
  });
