feignjs-circuit-breaker

integration with circuit-breaker-js

Installation

As with feign, you need to install both feignjs-circuit-breaker and a client to be used for feign.

npm install feignjs-circuit-breaker
npm install feignjs-<client>

or with bower

bower install feignjs-circuit-breaker
bower install feignjs-<client>

Getting started

Api is basically the same as feignjs except that it supports circuitbreaker-specific options:

var feignjs = require("feignjs-circuuit-breaker")
var FeignRequest = require("feignjs-request")
 
var apiDescription = {
  getUsers: 'GET /users',
  getUser:  {
    method: 'GET',
    uri: '/users/{id}',
    fallback: function(){
      return "fallback called";
    }
  }
};
 
var client = feign.builder()
        .client(new FeignRequest())        
        .target(apiDescription, 'http://jsonplaceholder.typicode.com');
 
        
client.getUser(1).then(console.log)

The method getUser has a fallback which is executed if the real call fails too often.

## Options: an option-object can be fed into feign.builder() with following options:

Option	Note	default
circuitbreaker-config	config as defined by circuit-breaker-js	{}
promise	crate a promise-based api. false for callback-based api.	true
