# Consul Source The consul source reads config from consul key/values ## Consul Format The consul source expects keys under the default prefix `micro/config` Values are expected to be json ``` // set database consul kv put micro/config/database '{"address": "10.0.0.1", "port": 3306}' // set cache consul kv put micro/config/cache '{"address": "10.0.0.2", "port": 6379}' ``` Keys are split on `/` so access becomes ``` conf.Get("micro", "config", "database") ``` ## New Source Specify source with data ```go consulSource := consul.NewSource( // optionally specify consul address; default to localhost:8500 consul.WithAddress("10.0.0.10:8500"), // optionally specify prefix; defaults to micro/config consul.WithPrefix("my/prefix"), // optionally strip the provided prefix from the keys, defaults to false consul.StripPrefix(true), ) ``` ## Load Source Load the source into config ```go // Create new config conf := config.NewConfig() // Load file source conf.Load(consulSource) ```
