Can an Angular app call Api in a Springboot microservice through an eureka server?

Question

I'm building an system in a microservice architecture, I have three Spring-boot microservice and a angular app, I know how to create a eureka service and register my springboot services to it but I could not find any sources on doing it in from my angular9 app, Which left me with some questions

1.Is there way to register angular9 app on a eureka server?

2.Do i need to register my angular app in order for me to make Rest API calls through the eureka service? ie http://myfirstservice/getservice

3.If i register my springboot service to eureka server will they no longer be accessible by their default path? ie http://localhost:8081/getservice

can some clarify these to me please? I'm really stuck. Thanks in advance:)

Answer 1

You should use a reverse proxy server such as nginx.

Then your calls will take the form of http://yourdomain/getservice

And in your reverse proxy server, you must have a configuration that will accept requests and be proxied to your microservices, which, since you use eureka, may have addresses http://myfirstservice/getservice

For example:

http {
        ...    
        server {
                listen 80;
                server_name yourdomain;

                set $getservice myfirstservice:8081;
        }
    
        location ~ ^/getservice/(.*)$ {
                proxy_set_header Host $host:$server_port;
                proxy_pass http://$getservice/getservice/$1$is_args$args;
        }
}

Where myfirstservice should be registered with eureka .
