A simple example of using FeignClient is as follows:
1. Add maven dependency

<dependency>
    <groupId>org.springframework.cloud</groupId>
    <artifactId>spring-cloud-starter-openfeign</artifactId>
    <version>2.0.2.RELEASE</version>
</dependency>
<dependency>
    <groupId>io.github.openfeign</groupId>
    <artifactId>feign-core</artifactId>
    <version>9.7.0</version>
</dependency>
<dependency>
    <groupId>io.github.openfeign</groupId>
    <artifactId>feign-slf4j</artifactId>
    <version>9.7.0</version>
</dependency>

2. Write FeignClient code

@FeignClient(name = "myFeignClient", url = "http://127.0.0.1:8001")
public interface MyFeignClient {
    @RequestMapping(method = RequestMethod.GET, value = "/participate")
    String getCategorys(@RequestParam Map<String, Object> params);
}

3. Use FeignClient directly

@Autowired
MyFeignClient myFeignClient;

Now, FeignClient can use the normal Http interface~
4. If you want to use the file upload interface or the x-www-form-urlencoded interface of post, you need to do the following configuration
Add dependency package

<dependency>
    <groupId>io.github.openfeign.form</groupId>
    <artifactId>feign-form</artifactId>
    <version>3.4.1</version>
</dependency>
<dependency>
    <groupId>io.github.openfeign.form</groupId>
    <artifactId>feign-form-spring</artifactId>
    <version>3.4.1</version>
</dependency>
<dependency>
    <groupId>commons-fileupload</groupId>
    <artifactId>commons-fileupload</artifactId>
    <version>1.3.3</version>
</dependency>

Add bean annotation configuration

@Bean
@Primary
@Scope("prototype")
public Encoder multipartFormEncoder(ObjectFactory<HttpMessageConverters> messageConverters) {
    return new SpringFormEncoder(new SpringEncoder(messageConverters));
}

Define file upload interface

@RequestMapping(value = {"/demo/v1/upload"}, 
    method = {RequestMethod.POST}, 
    consumes = {MediaType.MULTIPART_FORM_DATA_VALUE})
ReturnResult<ImageVO> uploadFile(
    @RequestPart(value = "file") MultipartFile file, 
    @RequestParam(value = "bucketName", required = false) String bucketName);

5. If you want to use the connection pool of Apache's httpclient, you can do the following configuration
Add dependency

<dependency>
    <groupId>org.apache.httpcomponents</groupId>
    <artifactId>httpclient</artifactId>
    <version>4.5.6</version>
</dependency>
<dependency>
    <groupId>io.github.openfeign</groupId>
    <artifactId>feign-httpclient</artifactId>
    <version>9.7.0</version>
</dependency>

Add property configuration

feign:
  okhttp: 
    enabled: false
  httpclient:
    enabled: true
    maxConnections: 20480
    maxConnectionsPerRoute: 512
    timeToLive: 60
    connectionTimeout: 10000
    userAgent: 'Mozilla/5.0 (Windows NT 6.1; WOW64; rv:37.0) Gecko/20100101 Firefox/37.0'

Introducing FeignAutoConfiguration configuration

@Import(FeignAutoConfiguration.class)
@Configuration
public class FeignConfig {
    ...
}

After these steps, you can enable Apache's httpclient to replace its embedded httpclient.
6. If you want to enable hystrix fuse degradation, you can make the following configuration
Add dependency

<dependency>
    <groupId>io.github.openfeign</groupId>
    <artifactId>feign-hystrix</artifactId>
    <version>9.7.0</version>
</dependency>

Add property configuration

feign:
  hystrix: 
    enabled: true

hystrix:
  command:
    default:
      execution:
        isolation:
          thread:
            timeoutInMilliseconds: 15000
  threadpool:
    default:
      coreSize: 40
      maximumSize: 100
      maxQueueSize: 100

Add demotion policy

public class MyFeignClientFallback implements MyFeignClient {
    @Override
    public ReturnResult<ImageVO> uploadFile(MultipartFile file, String bucketName) {
        return new ReturnResult<>(5001);
    }
}

Add bean configuration

@Bean
@Scope("prototype")
public Feign.Builder feignBuilder() {
    return HystrixFeign.builder();
}

@Bean
public MyFeignClientFallback fb() {
    return new MyFeignClientFallback();
}

Update @ FeignClient code

@FeignClient(
    name = "myFeignClient", 
    url = "http://127.0.0.1:8001",
    fallback = MyFeignClientFallback.class,
    configuration = {FeignConfig.class})

7. If you want to deal with the specific causes of fusing, you can update as follows
Update fuse policy code to implement FallbackFactory interface

public class MyFeignClientFallback implements FallbackFactory<MyFeignClient> {
    @Override
    public MyFeignClient create(final Throwable cause) {
        return new MyFeignClient() {
            @Override
            public ReturnResult<ImageVO> uploadFile(MultipartFile file, String bucketName) {
                // Processing cause
                
                return new ReturnResult<>(5001);
            }
        };
    }
}

Update bean configuration

@Bean
public MyFeignClientFallback fbf() {
    return new MyFeignClientFallback();
}

Update @ FeignClient code

@FeignClient(
    name = "myFeignClient", 
    url = "http://127.0.0.1:8001",
    fallbackFactory = MyFeignClientFallback.class,
    configuration = {FeignConfig.class})
