Name

Enrich — Enriches a message with data from a secondary resource

Usage

The Enrich pattern uses a producer to pull data from an endpoint outside of the route and uses it to enrich the message the route is processing. An AggregationStrategy is used to determine how the data is combined.

The Enrich pattern can be used anywhere in the body of a route.

The Enrich pattern is typically used with request-response messaging; for example, to enrich the current message with the reply from a web service call.

[Tip]Tip

Use the Poll Enrich pattern when enriching files because the Enrich pattern will write the message content as a file.
