EssentialLayers.Request 1.6.0

Essential Layers

EssentialLayers.Request

Is a complement to the package EssentialLayers to provide an extra layer for using http requests in an easy way.

Configure

Add the dependencies in your Program.cs file

builder.Services.UseRequest();

And then set the options (Optional)

app.Services.ConfigureRequest(
	new HttpOption
	{
		BaseUri = "https/api.dev",
		AppName = "MyApi",
		AppVersion = "v1",
		InsensitiveMapping = true
	}
);

If you want manage multiple instances of the same service, you can use the following code:

1. Inject the IHttpService or IRequestService
2. Set configs on runtime

yourService.SetOptions(
	new HttpOption
	{
		BaseUri = YOUR_BASE_URI,
		Token = YOUR_TOKEN
	}
);

🚀 New Feature: IHttpFactory

IHttpFactory is the new provider to send request toward multiple apis.

To start to use, add the next section in your appsettings.json

"HttpClients": {
	"AuthApi": {
		"BaseUrl": "https://localhost:5000/api/",
		"UserAgent": "FirstApiClient/1.0", (Optional) => Default 'MyApp/1.0'
		"ContentType": "application/json" (Optional) => Default 'application/json'
	}
	"SecondApiClient": {
		"BaseUrl": "https://localhost:5001/api/",
		"UserAgent": "SecondApiClient/1.0", (Optional) => Default 'MyApp/1.0'
		"ContentType": "application/json" (Optional) => Default 'application/json'
	}
}

In your Program.cs file

builder.Services.AddHttpClients(builder.Configuration);
builder.Services.ConfigureFactory();

OR

In your Program.cs file

services.AddTransient<AuthHeaderHandler>();

services.AddHttpClient(
	clientName, (client) =>
	{
		client.BaseAddress = new Uri("https://localhost:5000/api/");
		client.DefaultRequestHeaders.UserAgent.ParseAdd("AuthApi/1.0");
		client.DefaultRequestHeaders.Accept.Add(new MediaTypeWithQualityHeaderValue("application/json"));
	}
).AddHttpMessageHandler<AuthHeaderHandler>();

services.AddHttpClient(
	clientName, (client) =>
	{
		client.BaseAddress = new Uri("https://localhost:5001/api/");
		client.DefaultRequestHeaders.UserAgent.ParseAdd("SecondApiClient/1.0");
		client.DefaultRequestHeaders.Accept.Add(new MediaTypeWithQualityHeaderValue("application/json"));
	}
).AddHttpMessageHandler<AuthHeaderHandler>();

builder.Services.ConfigureFactory();

And in your specific service.cs file

public class AuthService (IHttpFactory httpFactory)
	{
		private const string CLIENT_NAME = "AuthApi";

		public Task<HttpResponse<LoginResponseDto>> LoginAsync(string userName, string password)
		{
			return httpFactory.PostAsync<LoginResponseDto, LoginRequestDto>(
				CLIENT_NAME, "User/Login", new LoginRequestDto(userName, password)
			);
		}
	}

	public record LoginRequestDto(string UserName, string Password);

	public record LoginResponseDto(UserDto? User, string Token);

	public record UserDto(string Id, string Email, string Name, string PhoneNumber);
