Feign An introduction to the

Feign Is a declarative artifact RPC Of REST client , It uses interface based annotation , Very convenient client configuration ,Spring Cloud to Feign Added support Spring MVC annotation , And integrate Ribbon And Eureka Support load balancing .

Feign yes ⼀ individual HTTP Lightweight client framework for requests . By connecting to ⼝ Oral and annotated ⽅ Style initiation HTTP Ask for a tune ⽤, Interface oriented programming , It's not like Java Through encapsulation HTTP Ask for the newspaper ⽂ Of ⽅ Direct adjustment ⽤.
Service consumption ⽅ Get the service ⽅ Of ⼝, And then it's like ⽤ Local connection ⼝⽅ Law ⼀ I'm going to adjust it ⽤, It's actually a remote request . Let's make it more convenient and elegant ⽤ be based on HTTP Of API, By ⼴ Pan Ying ⽤ stay Spring Cloud The solution of the ⽅ In the case .

Feign The advantages of

Before we used RestTemplate The code that initiates the remote call ：

String url = "http://userservice/user/" + order.getUserld();User user = restTemplate.getForObject(url, User.class);

The problems above are code ：
Poor readability , Inconsistent programming experience ;
Complex parameters URL Difficult to maintain
Feign It's a declarative one http client , Official address ：Feign The official link

Its function is to help us achieve http Send request , Solve the problems mentioned above .

Feign How to use

Take our previous project as an example
stay order-service Service pom Introduce in the file feign rely on ：

<dependency>    <groupId>org.springframework.cloud</groupId>    <artifactId>spring-cloud-starter-openfeign</artifactId></dependency>

stay order-service Add comments to the startup class to open Feign The function of ：

@EnableFeignClients@MapperScan("cn.itcast.order,mapper")@SpringBootApplicationpublic class OrderApplicationpublic static void main(String[] args) [SpringApplication.run(OrderApplication.class,args)

stay order-service Create a new interface in , The contents are as follows ：

package cn.itcast.order.client;​import cn.itcast.order.pojo.User;import org.springframework.cloud.openfeign.FeignClient;import org.springframework.web.bind.annotation.GetMapping;import org.springframework.web.bind.annotation.PathVariable;​@FeignClient("userservice")public interface UserClient {     @GetMapping("/user/{id}")     User findById(@PathVariable("id") Long id); }

This client is mainly based on SpringMVC To declare the information of the remote call , such as ：

• The service name ：userservice
• Request mode ：GET
• Request path ：/user/{id}
• Request parameters ：Long id
• return type ：User

such ,Feign Can help us send http request , No need to use RestTemplate To send .

We modify order-service Medium OrderService Class queryOrderById Method , Use Feign Client instead of RestTemplate：

@Autowiredprivate UserClient userClient;public Order query0rderById(Long orderId) //1. Query order Order order = orderMapper.findById(orderId);//2.  utilize Feign launch http request   Query the user Useruser = userClient.findById(order.getUserId());//3. encapsulation user To 0rderorder.setUser(user);// 4. return return order;

Feign Summary of the use of

Use Feign Steps for ：

The first ① Step Introduce dependencies

The first ② Step add to @EnableFeignClients annotation

The first ③ Step To write FeignClient Interface

The first ④ Step Use FeignClient The method defined in replaces RestTemplate
