Returning the producer.id to the client, mandatory ?

Reading the below code, i would like to know if this step is mandatory.

The reason i am asking is because i got it working without returning the producer.id to the client and calling the callback on the .produce client side

So my question is is this only needed if i want to track the producer.id server side from the client side and get stats etc?

Thanks


// Let's assume the server included the created producer id in the response
    // data object.
    const { id } = data;

    // Tell the transport that parameters were transmitted and provide it with the
    // server side producer's id.
    callback({ id });
  }

Yes it’s. If it’s documented as mandatory (and it is) then it’s mandatory.
