##Bolt Lean and lightweight http communication library based on ASP.NET 5. The main focus of project was to create multiplatform, simple and powerfull replacement for WCF library.

####Service Contract Bolt requires interface describing your service that will be used for communication.

public interface IFooService
{
    void DoYourThing();
}

####Client

• Add Bolt.Client.Proxy package to project (Install-Package Bolt.Client.Proxy -pre)
• Create proxy to your service and call remote method

var configuration = new ClientConfiguration().UseDynamicProxy();
IFooService proxy = configuration.CreateProxy<IFooService>(<service url>);
proxy.DoYourThing();

####Server

• Add Bolt.Server package to project (Install-Package Bolt.Server -pre)
• In you startup class use Bolt extensions to register Bolt into the pipeline

public void ConfigureServices(IServiceCollection services)
{
    services.AddLogging();
    services.AddOptions();
    services.AddBolt();
}

public void Configuration(IApplicationBuilder app)
{
    appBuilder.UseBolt((h) =>
    {
        // register our service
        h.Use<IFooService, FooService>();
    });
}

Now you are ready to experiment with Bolt. This was just the very simple scenario for Bolt usage. Bolt also supports:

• Sessions
• Generation of async interfaces
• CancellationToken support
• Asynchronous methods
• Recoverable Proxy
• Server Failover support
• Modularity - every component and behavior of Bolt is replaceable
• User Code Generators - plug your own code into the generated proxies
• Configuration Based Generation - define Configuration.json file to describe how proxies should be generated

• Bolt.Core - contains common interfaces and helpers shared by both client and server.
• Bolt.Client - contains client side code required to communicate with Bolt service.
• Bolt.Client.Proxy - factory for dynamic proxy generation
• Bolt.Server - server side code required to integrate Bolt into ASP.NET 5
• Bolt.Generators - classes and helpers used by Bolt.Console for code generation. Reference it if you need to generate async proxies and interfaces.
• Bolt.Console - tool used to generate Bolt proxies.

To find out more just take a look at Bolt code or check out the Bolt.Samples repository.

Any ideas, improvements or code contributions are welcome. Happy coding ;)
