Hands-On Cloud-Native Applications with Java and Quarkus

Vert.x API models in Quarkus

Vert.x provides a large ecosystem of reactive APIs that are integrated into Quarkus. More specifically, Quarkus uses Vert.x as the reactive engine by providing a single dependency to your applications:

<dependency>    <groupId>io.quarkus</groupId>    <artifactId>quarkus-vertx</artifactId></dependency>

This allows you to access a managed Vert.x instance with simple code injection:

@Inject io.vertx.core.Vertx vertx;

The Vertx object is the control center of a Vert.x application. It's your pass to Vert.x land and allows you to create an asynchronous and non-blocking client and servers, get a reference to the Event Bus, and many other things.

When using Vert.x API in Quarkus, however, there's no Vertx object for you to ...
