Discovery Services from Consul

To discovery other services you could manually interact with the DiscoveryClient, however typically instead you use the Client Annotation to declare how an HTTP client maps to a service.

For example the configuration in the previous section declared a value for micronaut.application.name of hello-world. This is the value that will be used as the service ID when registering with Consul.

Other services can discovery instances of the hello-world service simply by declaring a client as follows:

Using @Client to Discover Services

@Client(id = "hello-world")
interface HelloClient{
    ...
}

Alternatively you can also use @Client as a qualifier to @Inject an instance of HttpClient:

Using @Client to Discover Services

@Client(id = "hello-world")
@Inject
RxHttpClient httpClient;
