CommunityToolkit.Aspire.EventStore 9.2.1

CommunityToolkit.Aspire.EventStore

Registers an EventStoreClient in the DI container for connecting to an EventStore.

Getting started

Prerequisites

• EventStore cluster.

Install the package

Install the .NET Aspire EventStore Client library with NuGet:

dotnet add package CommunityToolkit.Aspire.EventStore

Usage example

In the Program.cs file of your project, call the AddEventStoreClient extension method to register an EventStoreClient for use via the dependency injection container. The method takes a connection name parameter.

builder.AddEventStoreClient("eventstore");

Configuration

The .NET Aspire EventStore Client integration provides multiple options to configure the server connection based on the requirements and conventions of your project.

Use a connection string

When using a connection string from the ConnectionStrings configuration section, you can provide the name of the connection string when calling builder.AddEventStoreClient():

builder.AddEventStoreClient("eventstore");

And then the connection string will be retrieved from the ConnectionStrings configuration section:

{
    "ConnectionStrings": {
        "eventstore": "esdb://localhost:22113?tls=false"
    }
}

Use configuration providers

The .NET Aspire EventStore Client integration supports Microsoft.Extensions.Configuration. It loads the EventStoreSettings from configuration by using the Aspire:EventStore:Client key. Example appsettings.json that configures some of the options:

{
  "Aspire": {
    "EventStore": {
      "Client": {
        "ConnectionString": "esdb://localhost:22113?tls=false",
        "DisableHealthChecks": true
      }
    }
  }
}

Use inline delegates

Also you can pass the Action<EventStoreClientSettings> configureSettings delegate to set up some or all the options inline, for example to set the API key from code:

builder.AddEventStoreClient("eventstore", settings => settings.DisableHealthChecks = true);

AppHost extensions

In your AppHost project, install the CommunityToolkit.Aspire.Hosting.EventStore library with NuGet:

dotnet add package CommunityToolkit.Aspire.Hosting.EventStore

Then, in the Program.cs file of AppHost, register EventStore and consume the connection using the following methods:

var eventstore = builder.AddEventStore("eventstore");

var myService = builder.AddProject<Projects.MyService>()
                       .WithReference(eventstore);

The WithReference method configures a connection in the MyService project named eventstore. In the Program.cs file of MyService, the EventStore connection can be consumed using:

builder.AddEventStoreClient("eventstore");

Then, in your service, inject EventStoreClient and use it to interact with the EventStore API:

public class MyService(EventStoreClient eventStoreClient)
{
    // ...
}
