NAME

Consul - Client library for consul

SYNOPSIS

use Consul;

my $consul = Consul->new;
say $consul->status->leader;

# shortcut to single API
my $status = Consul->status;
say $status->leader;

DESCRIPTION

This is a client library for accessing and manipulating data in a Consul cluster. It targets the Consul v1 HTTP API.

This module is quite low-level. You're expected to have a good understanding of Consul and its API to understand the methods this module provides. See "SEE ALSO" for further reading.

WARNING

This is still under development. The documentation isn't all there yet (in particular about the return types) and a couple of APIs aren't implemented. It's still very useful and I don't expect huge changes, but please take care when upgrading. Open an issue if there's something you need that isn't here and I'll get right on it!

CONSTRUCTOR

new

my $consul = Consul->new( %args );

This constructor returns a new Consul client object. Valid arguments include:

  • host

    Hostname or IP address of an Consul server (default: 127.0.0.1)

  • port

    Port where the etcd server is listening (default: 8500)

  • ssl

    Use SSL/TLS (ie HTTPS) when talking to the etcd server (default: off)

  • http

    A HTTP::Tiny object to use to access the server. If not specified, one will be created.

ENDPOINTS

Individual API endpoints are implemented in separate modules. The following methods will return a context objects for the named API. Alternatively, you can request an API context directly from the Consul package. In that case, Consul->new is called implicitly.

# these are equivalent
my $agent = Consul->new( %args )->agent;
my $agent = Consul->agent( %args );
