Preface:

In the last section, we learned about the use of ribbon.

We learned that ribbon is a client load balancing mechanism.

And what we're going to talk about today is Feign, which is also a client load balancing mechanism.

In other words, Feign encapsulates ribbon's load balancing and implements Interface-oriented call service programming to eliminate service-oriented programming.

ribbon service-oriented programming:

@GetMapping("/hello")
public List<String> sayHello() {
    List<String> list = new ArrayList<>();
    for(int i=0;i<30;i++) {
        list.add(restTemplate.getForObject("http://CL-HELLO-PRODUCER/hello", String.class));
    }
    return list;
}

feign Interface-oriented programming:

@FeignClient(value="CL-HELLO-PRODUCER")
public interface HelloService {
    
    @GetMapping("/hello")
    public String sayHello();

}

Create a new service consumer (cl_hello_consumer_feign):

2. Modify configuration

eureka.client.service-url.defaultZone=http://127.0.0.1:7001/eureka/

eureka.client.register-with-eureka=false

3. Open Notes

package com.xm.cloud;

import org.springframework.boot.SpringApplication;
import org.springframework.boot.autoconfigure.SpringBootApplication;
import org.springframework.cloud.client.discovery.EnableDiscoveryClient;
import org.springframework.cloud.openfeign.EnableFeignClients;
import org.springframework.context.annotation.ComponentScan;

@EnableFeignClients
@EnableDiscoveryClient
@SpringBootApplication
public class ClHelloConsumerFeignApplication {

    public static void main(String[] args) {
        SpringApplication.run(ClHelloConsumerFeignApplication.class, args);
    }
}

4. Adding Service

package com.xm.cloud.service;

import org.springframework.cloud.openfeign.FeignClient;
import org.springframework.web.bind.annotation.GetMapping;

@FeignClient(value="CL-HELLO-PRODUCER")
public interface HelloService {
    
    @GetMapping("/hello")
    public String sayHello();

}

5. Add Controller

package com.xm.cloud.controller;

import java.util.ArrayList;
import java.util.List;

import org.springframework.beans.factory.annotation.Autowired;
import org.springframework.web.bind.annotation.GetMapping;
import org.springframework.web.bind.annotation.RestController;

import com.xm.cloud.service.HelloService;

@RestController
public class HelloController {
    @Autowired
    private HelloService helloService;
    
    @GetMapping("/hello")
    public List<String> sayHello() {
        List<String> list = new ArrayList<String>();
        for(int i=0;i<10;i++) {
            list.add(helloService.sayHello());
        }
        return list;
    }

}
