- port (Integer, default: 8500): agent HTTP(S) port
- secure (Boolean, default: false): enable HTTPS
- defaults (Object, optional): common method call options that will be included with every call (ex: set default
token
), these options can be override on a per call basis
Advanced options
- agent (http.Agent|https.Agent, optionals): if not set uses the global agent
- baseUrl, headers, tags, socketPath, and timeout (see Papi for details)
- tls options: ca, cert, ciphers, clientCertEngine, crl, dhparam, ecdhCurve, honorCipherOrder, key, passphrase, pfx, rejectUnauthorized, secureOptions, secureProtocol, servername, and sessionIdContext (see Node.js docs for details)

Usage
await consul.catalog.register("example");
consul.catalog.deregister(options)
Deregister entries in the catalog.
NOTE:This endpoint is a low-level mechanism for directly removing entries from the Catalog. It is usually preferable to instead use the agent endpoints for deregistration as they are simpler and perform anti-entropy. It is suggested to read the catalog API documentation before using that.
Options

consul.transaction.create(operations)
operations: The body of the request should be a list of operations to perform inside the atomic transaction. Up to 64 operations may be present in a single transaction.
Usage
await consul.transaction.create([
{
{
KV: {
Verb: 'set',
Key: 'key1',
Value: Buffer.from('value1').toString('base64')
}
},{
KV: {
Verb: 'delete',
Key: 'key2'
}
}
}
]);
consul.watch(options)
Watch an endpoint for changes.
The watch relies on blocking queries, adding the index
and wait
parameters as per Consul's documentation
If a blocking query is dropped due to a Consul crash or disconnect, watch will attempt to reinitiate the blocking query with logarithmic backoff.
Upon reconnect, unlike the first call to watch() in which the latest x-consul-index
is unknown, the last known x-consul-index
will be reused, thus not emitting the change
event unless it has been incremented since.
NOTE: If you specify an alternative options.timeout keep in mind that a small random amount of additional wait is added to all requests (wait / 16). The default timeout is currently set to (wait + wait * 0.1), you should use something similar to avoid issues.
Options
- method (Function): method to watch
- options (Object): method options
- backoffFactor (Integer, default: 100): backoff factor in milliseconds to apply between attempts (
backoffFactor * (2 ^ retry attempt)
) - backoffMax (Integer, default: 30000): maximum backoff time in milliseconds to wait between attempts
- maxAttempts (Integer): maximum number of retry attempts to make before giving up
Usage
const watch = consul.watch({
method: consul.kv.get,
options: { key: "test" },
backoffFactor: 1000,
});
watch.on("change", (data, res) => {
console.log("data:", data);
});
watch.on("error", (err) => {
console.log("error:", err);
});
setTimeout(() => {
watch.end();
}, 30 * 1000);
