Service Registry

Create Registry

Kitex provides two functions to create service registry.

NewConsulRegister

NewConsulRegister uses consul to create a new service registry. It requires passing in an address. Customizable service registry configuration, see Option for configuration details.

Function signature:

func NewConsulRegister(address string, opts ...Option) (registry.Registry, error)

Example:

import (
    ...
    "github.com/cloudwego/kitex/pkg/rpcinfo"
    "github.com/cloudwego/kitex/server"
    consul "github.com/kitex-contrib/registry-consul"
    consulapi "github.com/hashicorp/consul/api"
)

func main() {

    r, err := consul.NewConsulRegister("127.0.0.1:8500")
    if err != nil {
        log.Fatal(err)
    }

    server := hello.NewServer(new(HelloImpl), server.WithRegistry(r), server.WithServerBasicInfo(&rpcinfo.EndpointBasicInfo{
        ServiceName: "greet.server",
    }))
    err = server.Run()
    if err != nil {
        log.Fatal(err)
    }
}

NewConsulRegisterWithConfig

NewConsulRegisterWithConfig uses consul to create a new service registry. It requires passing in a client, and the client needs to be created by the user using the official Consul Go client. Customizable service registry configuration, see Option for configuration details.

Function signature:

func NewConsulRegisterWithConfig(config *api.Config, opts ...Option) (*consulRegistry, error)

Example:

import (
	...
	consul "github.com/kitex-contrib/registry-consul"
	consulapi "github.com/hashicorp/consul/api"
)
func main() {
    ...
	consulConfig := consulapi.Config{
		Address: "127.0.0.1:8500",
		Scheme:  "https"
		Token:   "TEST-MY-TOKEN",
	}
	r, err := consul.NewConsulRegisterWithConfig(&consulConfig)
}

Option

Consul extension provides option configuration in the service registry section.

WithCheck

Consul extension provides WithCheck to help users configure the AgentServiceCheck option in Consul. defaultCheck() is called by default. If not use, set check.Timeout to 5 seconds, check.Internal to 5 seconds, and check.DeregisterCriticalServiceAfter to 1 minute.

Function signature:

func WithCheck(check *api.AgentServiceCheck) Option

Example:

import (
	...
	consul "github.com/kitex-contrib/registry-consul"
	consulapi "github.com/hashicorp/consul/api"
)
func main() {
    ...
	r, err := consul.NewConsulRegister("127.0.0.1:8500", consul.WithCheck(&consulapi.AgentServiceCheck{
            Interval:                       "7s",
            Timeout:                        "5s",
            DeregisterCriticalServiceAfter: "1m",
	}))
}

Service Discovery

Create Resolver

Kitex provides two functions to create Resolver.

NewConsulResolver

NewConsulResolver uses consul to create a new service discovery center. It requires passing in an address.

Function signature:

func NewConsulResolver(address string) (discovery.Resolver, error)

Example:

import (
    ...
    "github.com/cloudwego/kitex/client"
    consul "github.com/kitex-contrib/registry-consul"
    ...
)

func main() {
    ...
    r, err := consul.NewConsulResolver("127.0.0.1:8500")
    if err != nil {
        log.Fatal(err)
    }
    client, err := echo.NewClient("greet.server", client.WithResolver(r))
    if err != nil {
        log.Fatal(err)
    }
    ...
}

NewConsulResolverWithConfig

NewConsulResolverWithConfig uses consul to create a new service discovery center. It requires passing in a client, and the client needs to be created by the user using the official Consul Go client.

Function signature:

func NewConsulResolver(consulClient *api.Client) discovery.Resolver

Example:

import (
	...
	consul "github.com/kitex-contrib/registry-consul"
	consulapi "github.com/hashicorp/consul/api"
)
func main() {
    ...
	consulConfig := consulapi.Config{
		Address: "127.0.0.1:8500",
		Scheme:  "https"
		Token:   "TEST-MY-TOKEN",
	}
	r, err := consul.NewConsulResolverWithConfig(&consulConfig)
}

How To Use

Server

package main

import (
	"context"
	"log"

	"github.com/cloudwego/kitex/pkg/registry"
	"github.com/cloudwego/kitex/server"
	consul "github.com/kitex-contrib/registry-consul"
	"github.com/kitex-contrib/registry-consul/example/hello/kitex_gen/api"
	"github.com/kitex-contrib/registry-consul/example/hello/kitex_gen/api/hello"
)

type HelloImpl struct{}

func (h *HelloImpl) Echo(_ context.Context, req *api.Request) (resp *api.Response, err error) {
	resp = &api.Response{
		Message: req.Message,
	}
	return
}

func main() {
	r, err := consul.NewConsulRegister("127.0.0.1:8500")
	if err != nil {
		log.Fatal(err)
	}

	svc := hello.NewServer(
		new(HelloImpl),
		server.WithRegistry(r),
		server.WithRegistryInfo(&registry.Info{
			ServiceName: "hello",
			Weight:      1, // weights must be greater than 0 in consul,else received error and exit.
		}),
	)
	err = svc.Run()
	if err != nil {
		log.Fatal(err)
	}
}

Client

package main

import (
	"context"
	"log"
	"time"

	"github.com/cloudwego/kitex/client"
	consul "github.com/kitex-contrib/registry-consul"
	"github.com/kitex-contrib/registry-consul/example/hello/kitex_gen/api"
	"github.com/kitex-contrib/registry-consul/example/hello/kitex_gen/api/hello"
)

func main() {
	r, err := consul.NewConsulResolver("127.0.0.1:8500")
	if err != nil {
		log.Fatal(err)
	}
	c := hello.MustNewClient("hello", client.WithResolver(r), client.WithRPCTimeout(time.Second*3))
	ctx := context.Background()
	for {
		resp, err := c.Echo(ctx, &api.Request{Message: "Hello"})
		if err != nil {
			log.Fatal(err)
		}
		log.Println(resp)
		time.Sleep(time.Second)
	}
}

Configuration

The configuration of Consul client and server can be customized, refer to the configuration of consul.
