gy09535 opened a new issue #2471: URL: https://github.com/apache/apisix/issues/2471
### Issue description Such as key-auth (https://github.com/apache/apisix/blob/master/doc/zh-cn/plugins/key-auth.md), why we add key auth plugin in route other then add consumer in route? I have not see any related API with consumer, but we must have it. Anyone can explain this design? ### Environment * apisix version (cmd: `apisix version`): * OS: ---------------------------------------------------------------- This is an automated message from the Apache Git Service.
