Gossip4Net.Model 0.0.1

Gossip4Net

Gossip4Net is an extensible http client middleware similar to Spring Feign. It allows developers to easily consume APIs using an interface contract, which gets automatically implemented.

Getting started

0. Get Gossip4Net

For standalone usage:

Install-Package Gossip4Net.Http

For usage within ASP.NET core:

Install-Package Gossip4Net.Http.DependencyInjection

1. Define your API contract and models

namespace MyDemo {
    public record HttpBinResponseDto(IDictionary<string, string> Headers);
    public record PersonRequestDto(string Fistname, string Lastname);

    [HttpApi("https://httpbin.org")]
    public interface HttpBinApi {

        [GetMapping("/get")]
        Task<HttpBinResponseDto> GetAsync();

        [GetMapping("/get")]
        HttpBinResponseDto GetSync();

        [PostMapping("/post")]
        Task PostAsync(Person person);
    }
}

2. Obtain and configure a HttpGossipBuilder

using  Gossip4Net.Http;

namespace MyDemo {
    public class Demo {
        public async Task Startup() {
            IHttpGossipBuilder<HttpBinApi> builder = new HttpGossipBuilder<HttpBinApi>();
            builder.AddDefaultBehavior();
        }
    }
}

For ASP.NET core, dependency injection can be used:

using Gossip4Net.Http.DependencyInjection;


namespace AspNetDemo {

    public class Startup {

        public void ConfigureServices(IServiceCollection services)
        {
            services.AddGossipHttpClient<HttpBinApi>();
        }
    }
}

3. Let Gossip4Net implement your API interface

using  Gossip4Net.Http;

namespace MyDemo {
    public class Demo {
        public async Task Startup() {
            IHttpGossipBuilder<HttpBinApi> builder = new HttpGossipBuilder<HttpBinApi>();
            builder.AddDefaultBehavior();

            HttpBinApi api = builder.Build();
        }
    }
}

4. Use your API

using  Gossip4Net.Http;

namespace MyDemo {
    public class Demo {
        public async Task Startup() {
            IHttpGossipBuilder<HttpBinApi> builder = new HttpGossipBuilder<HttpBinApi>();
            builder.AddDefaultBehavior();

            HttpBinApi api = builder.Build();
            HttpBinResponseDto response = await api.GetAync();
        }
    }
}
