API

This example makes use of the "api" handler.

The api expects you use the api.Request/Response protos.

The micro api request handler gives you full control over the http request and response while still leveraging RPC and any transport plugins that use other protocols beyond http in your stack such as grpc, nats, kafka.

Usage

Run the micro API

micro api --handler=api

Run this example

go run api.go

Calling the service

Make a GET request to /example/call which will call go.micro.api.example Example.Call

curl "http://localhost:8080/example/call?name=john"

Make a POST request to /example/foo/bar which will call go.micro.api.example Foo.Bar

curl -H 'Content-Type: application/json' -d '{}' http://localhost:8080/example/foo/bar

Set Namespace

Run the micro API with custom namespace

micro api --handler=api --namespace=com.foobar.api

or

MICRO_API_NAMESPACE=com.foobar.api micro api --handler=api

Set service name with the namespace

service := micro.NewService(
        micro.Name("com.foobar.api.example"),
)
