hey team. I am noob with Kotlin and I am looking for a good way to call Spring OpenFeign. I shared a screenshot of how I am thinking to do, but the IDE is suggesting to use that lateinit … should I?
In java I would inject the interface like this
@Autowired MyFeignClient client and I can use it just like this
client.postMyData() but please, how can I do this in Kotlin?

[df]

@Component
class YourConsumer(
    private val client: MyFeignClient
) {
...
}

got it

let me try here

Your primary problem is a Spring problem. Field injection is not recommended in java or kotlin. Constructor injection is the way to go

[Alexandre A Barbosa]

ok, but when this will injected?

[Alexandre A Barbosa]

I mean… when my controller call this service how should I do this?

[Alexandre A Barbosa]

nvm… I got it … actually I don’t need to call this service…

I will update here when I find out how to send my Kafka schema proto file to the topic

thank you @df

hey @df
instead of Spring OpenFeign I used a simple Java 17 HTTP Client. But Feign worked when I implemented the @Configuration properly
