MVCCaching.Kentico.Core 13.0.2

MVC Caching

MVC Caching for Kentico MVC, allows for easy Caching and hookup of Repository calls through IRepository, IService, and attributes found in the MVCCaching namespace. Sets up and leverages Kentico's cache dependencies.

Also tracks all Dependencies called to the ICacheDependenciesStore automatically, and you can leverage ICacheDependenciesScope.Begin() and string[] ICacheDependenciesScope.End() to begin and end tracking of dependencies in order to compile all dependencies between the begin and end.

Kentico 13 MVC.Net Core Installation

1. Install the Nuget Package MVCCaching.Kentico.Core on your MVC.Net Core application. Note due to the complexity of invocation decoration, this package does depend on Castle Windsor and Autofac.

2. On your Main method (usually Program.cs), to the HostBuilder, add .UserServiceProviderFactory(new AutofacServiceProviderFactory()) example:

public class Program
    {
        public static void Main(string[] args)
        {
            CreateHostBuilder(args).Build().Run();
        }

        public static IHostBuilder CreateHostBuilder(string[] args) =>
            Host.CreateDefaultBuilder(args)
                  // THIS ONE LINE BELOW NEEDED:
                 .UseServiceProviderFactory(new AutofacServiceProviderFactory())
                .ConfigureWebHostDefaults(webBuilder =>
                {
                    webBuilder.UseStartup<Startup>();
                });
    }

3. On your Startup Class Constructor method, add the following:

public Startup(IWebHostEnvironment environment)
        {
            Environment = environment;
            
            // MVC Caching
            var builder = new ConfigurationBuilder()
                .SetBasePath(environment.ContentRootPath)
                .AddJsonFile("appsettings.json", optional: true, reloadOnChange: true)
                .AddJsonFile($"appsettings.{environment.EnvironmentName}.json", optional: true)
                .AddEnvironmentVariables();
            this.Configuration = builder.Build();
            // END MVC Caching
        }

4. Add these 2 methods to your Startup Class:

public IConfigurationRoot Configuration { get; private set; }
public ILifetimeScope AutofacContainer { get; private set; }

5. Make sure for your Startup.ConfigureServices you have services.AddOptions(); called
6. Add the following method to your Startup Class

// MVC Caching
public void ConfigureContainer(ContainerBuilder builder)
{
        DependencyResolverConfig.Register(builder, new Assembly[] { typeof(Startup).Assembly });
}

These steps hook up Autofac and MVC Caching.

NOTE: The "string currentCulture" and "bool previewEnabled" have been replaced with IRepoContext which you can leverage to retrieve these values.
