These methods are being kept around in the api module for now to allow the api module to work with older versions of the HTTP API, but we are no longer able to test them. Since the endpoints are removed there is no way for them to change, so there does not appear to be a need to keep running the tests.
Consul API client
This package provides the api
package which attempts to
provide programmatic access to the full Consul API.
Currently, all of the Consul APIs included in version 0.6.0 are supported.
Documentation
The full documentation is available on Godoc
Usage
Below is an example of using the Consul client:
package main
import "github.com/hashicorp/consul/api"
import "fmt"
func main() {
// 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: "REDIS_MAXCLIENTS", Value: []byte("1000")}
_, err = kv.Put(p, nil)
if err != nil {
panic(err)
}
// Lookup the pair
pair, _, err := kv.Get("REDIS_MAXCLIENTS", nil)
if err != nil {
panic(err)
}
fmt.Printf("KV: %v %s\n", pair.Key, pair.Value)
}
To run this example, start a Consul server:
consul agent -dev
Copy the code above into a file such as main.go
.
Install and run. You'll see a key (REDIS_MAXCLIENTS
) and value (1000
) printed.
$ go get
$ go run main.go
KV: REDIS_MAXCLIENTS 1000
After running the code, you can also view the values in the Consul UI on your local machine at http://localhost:8500/ui/dc1/kv
