Documentation

The full documentation is available on Godoc

Usage

Below is an example of using the Consul client:

// Get a new client
client, err := api.NewClient(api.DefaultConfig())
if err != nil {
    panic(err)
}

// Get a handle to the KV API
kv := client.KV()

// PUT a new KV pair
p := &api.KVPair{Key: "foo", Value: []byte("test")}
_, err = kv.Put(p, nil)
if err != nil {
    panic(err)
}

// Lookup the pair
pair, _, err := kv.Get("foo", nil)
if err != nil {
    panic(err)
}
fmt.Printf("KV: %v", pair)
