short way to configure feign client

[khannedy]

Hi all, I have problem with current Feign Client configuration via Configuration Class.

Currently I create feign client using this way :

@FeignClient(name = "authFeign",
    url = "${service.auth.endpoint}",
    fallbackFactory = AuthFeignFallbackFactory.class,
    configuration = AuthConfiguration.class)
public interface AuthFeign {

}

and every time I create feign client, I create configuration class.

@Configuration
public class AuthConfiguration {

  @Autowired
  private FeignAuthProperties properties;

  @Bean
  public Request.Options options() {
    return new Request.Options(
        (int) properties.getTimeUnit().toMillis(properties.getConnectTimeout()),
        (int) properties.getTimeUnit().toMillis(properties.getReadTimeout())
    );
  }

  @Bean
  public Logger.Level level(){
    return properties.getLevel();
  }

}

Is there any short way to configure feign client just via configuration properties? example :

feign.authFeign.connect-timeout=2000
feign.authFeign.read-timeout=2000
feign.authFeign.log-level=basic

If there is no way to configure feign client via configuration properties, I will happy to contribute to this repository

Best Regards.

I dont believe there are properties for this, but instead of specifying the configuration property for each client, if you want those values to apply to all Feign clients you can just create those beans as part of your applications configuration.

hi @ryanjbaxter , I think it is very helpful if we can also configure default feign client configuration via properties, like :

feign.client.default.connect-timeout=10000
feign.client.default.read-timeout=10000
feign.client.default.logging-level=basic
feign.client.default.retryer=...
feign.client.default.error-decoder=...
feign.client.default.request-interceptors=...

and if we need to create configuration per feign client, we can also override the values

feign.client.default.connect-timeout=10000
feign.client.default.read-timeout=10000
feign.client.default.logging-level=basic
feign.client.default.retryer=...
feign.client.default.error-decoder=...
feign.client.default.request-interceptors=...

feign.client.feignName.connect-timeout=2000
feign.client.feignName.read-timeout=2000
feign.client.feignName.logging-level=headers

this would be an enhancement as far as i know
