2023-08-31 08:51:52 .NET 8 - Keyed service dependency injection container support

Keyed services are useful when you have an interface/service with multiple implementations that you want to use in your app. What's more, you need to use each of those implementations in different places in your app.

Sample:
var builder = WebApplication.CreateBuilder(args);
builder.Services.AddKeyedSingleton("sms");
builder.Services.AddKeyedSingleton("email");
builder.Services.AddKeyedSingleton("push");

2023-04-15 18:58:15 Check out new C# 12 preview features!

Three new features for C# 12 :

- Primary constructors for non-record classes and structs :
public class Student(int id, string name, IEnumerable grades)
{
public Student(int id, string name) : this(id, name, Enumerable.Empty()) { }
public int Id => id;
public string Name { get; set; } = name.Trim();
public decimal GPA => grades.Any() ? grades.Average() : 4.0m;
}


- Using aliases for any type:
using Measurement = (string, int);

public void F(Measurement x)
{ }


- Default values for lambda expression parameters:
var addWithDefault = (int addTo = 2) => addTo + 1;
addWithDefault(); // 3
addWithDefault(5); // 6

2023-04-10 14:13:49 WireMock.NET

WireMock.NET is a .NET library for stubbing and mocking HTTP services. With WireMock.NET, you can define the expected responses for particular requests, and the library will intercept and manage those requests for you.

This allows for easy testing of the code that makes HTTP requests, without having to rely on the actual external service being available and without hacking HttpClient.

Sample code snippet:

[Test]
public async Task sample_WireMock_usage()
{
// Setup WireMock.Net server
using var wireMock = WireMockServer.StartWithAdminInterface(port: 1080, ssl: false);

// Setup WebApplicationFactory
await using var appFactory = new WebApplicationFactory().WithWebHostBuilder(builder =>
{
builder.ConfigureAppConfiguration(configurationBuilder =>
{
// Override downstream service addresses pointing to WireMock address
configurationBuilder.AddInMemoryCollection(new Dictionary
{
["ExternalServices:WeatherService"] = "http://localhost:1080"
});
});
});

// Prepare stub for outgoing request
wireMock
.Given(
Request.Create()
.WithPath("/api/v1.0/weather")
.WithParam("lat", "10.99")
.WithParam("lon", "44.34")
.UsingGet()
)
.RespondWith(
Response.Create()
.WithStatusCode(200)
.WithHeader("Content-Type", "application/json; charset=utf-8")
.WithBodyAsJson(new
{
temp = 298.48,
feels_like = 298.74,
temp_min = 297.56,
temp_max = 300.05,
pressure = 1015,
humidity = 64
})
);

// Automate tested app
}
