the doc: https://cloud.spring.io/spring-cloud-static/spring-cloud-openfeign/2.2.2.RELEASE/reference/html/

spring-cloud-starter-openfeign contains both spring-cloud-starter-netflix-ribbon and spring-cloud-starter-loadbalancer.

but in maven ribbon and loadbalancer is: <optional>true</optional>

i need add dependencies again

That's right @carbon-projects. They are actually supposed to be optional. See https://github.com/spring-cloud/spring-cloud-openfeign/issues/35. Will fix the docs.
