This module provides a File supplier that can be reused and composed in other applications.
The Supplier uses the FileInboundChannelAdapter from Spring Integration.
FileSupplier is implemented as a java.util.function.Supplier.
This supplier gives you a reactive stream of files from the provided directory as the supplier has a signature of Supplier<Flux<Message<?>>>.
Users have to subscribe to this Flux and receive the data.
You can import the FileSupplierConfiguration in the application and then inject the following bean.
fileSupplier
You need to inject this as Supplier<Flux<Message<?>>>.
You can use fileSupplier as a qualifier when injecting.
Once injected, you can use the get method of the Supplier to invoke it and then subscribe to the returned Flux.
All configuration properties are prefixed with file.supplier.
There are also properties that need to be used with the prefix file.consumer.
For more information on the various options available, please see FileSupplierProperties. See this also.
See this test suite for the various ways, this supplier is used.
See this README where this supplier is used to create a Spring Cloud Stream application where it makes a File Source.
