You can use `timeSupplier` as a qualifier when injecting. Once injected, you can use the `get` method of the `Supplier` to invoke it. == Configuration Options All configuration properties are prefixed with `time`. For more information on the various options available, please see link:src/main/java/org/springframework/cloud/fn/supplier/time/TimeSupplierProperties.java[TimeSupplierProperties]. == Tests See this link:src/test/java/org/springframework/cloud/fn/supplier/time[test suite] for the various ways, this supplier is used. == Other usage See this https://github.com/spring-cloud/stream-applications/blob/master/applications/source/time-source/README.adoc[README] where this supplier is used to create a Spring Cloud Stream application where it makes an Time Source.
