= File Consumer A consumer that allows you to write incoming messages into files. The consumer uses the `FileWritingMessageHandler` from Spring Integration. == Beans for injection The `FileConsumerConfiguration` auto-configuration provides the following bean: `Consumer<Message<?>> fileConsumer` You can use `fileConsumer` as a qualifier when injecting. == Configuration Options All configuration properties are prefixed with `file.consumer`. For more information on the various options available, please see link:src/main/java/org/springframework/cloud/fn/consumer/file/FileConsumerProperties.java[FileConsumerProperties]. A `ComponentCustomizer<FileWritingMessageHandler>` bean can be added in the target project to provide any custom options for the `FileWritingMessageHandler` configuration used by the `fileConsumer`. == Tests See this link:src/test/java/org/springframework/cloud/fn/consumer/file[test suite] for the various ways, this consumer is used. == Other usage See this https://github.com/spring-cloud/stream-applications/blob/master/applications/sink/file-sink/README.adoc[README] where this consumer is used to create a Spring Cloud Stream application where it makes a File sink.
