Consul Client

Ruby client library for Consul HTTP API, providing both a thin wrapper around the raw API and higher level behaviours for operating in a Consul environment.

This library is experimental! Be sure to thoroughly test and code review before using for anything real.

Usage

It's a gem:

gem install consul-client

Simple API usage:

require 'consul/client'

client = Consul::Client.v1.http
client.get("/agent/self")

See example directory for more:

• puts_service.rb is a minimum server that demostrates coordinated shutdown.
• http_service.rb builds on top of webrick for an auto-updating server with coordinated restart.

A Vagrantfile is provided that makes three Consul nodes, which is handy for playing around.

Documentation

Comprehensive YARD documentation is available, though honestly you're probably better off just working from the example directory.
