DNTFrameworkCore is a Lightweight and
Extensible Infrastructure for Building High Quality Web Applications Based on ASP.NET Core and has the following goals:
- Common structures in various applications like Cross-Cutting Concerns and etc
- Follow DRY principle to focus on main business logic
- Reduce the development time
- Less bug and stop bug propagation
- Reduce the training time of the new developer with low knowledge about OOP and OOD
Application Service
public interface IBlogService : ICrudService<int, BlogModel>
{
}
public class BlogService : CrudService<Blog, int, BlogModel>, IBlogService
{
private readonly IMapper _mapper;
public BlogService(
IUnitOfWork uow,
IEventBus bus,
IMapper mapper) : base(uow, bus)
{
_mapper = mapper ?? throw new ArgumentNullException(nameof(mapper));
}
protected override IQueryable<BlogModel> BuildReadQuery(FilteredPagedQueryModel model)
{
return EntitySet.AsNoTracking()
.Select(b => new BlogModel { Id = b.Id, Url = b.Url, Title = b.Title });
}
protected override void MapToEntity(BlogModel model, Blog blog) => _mapper.Map(model, blog);
protected override BlogModel MapToModel(Blog blog) => _mapper.Map<BlogModel>(blog);
}ASP.NET Core WebAPI
[Route("api/[controller]")]
public class BlogsController : CrudController<IBlogService, int, BlogModel>
{
public BlogsController(IBlogService service) : base(service)
{
}
protected override string CreatePermissionName => PermissionNames.Blogs_Create;
protected override string EditPermissionName => PermissionNames.Blogs_Edit;
protected override string ViewPermissionName => PermissionNames.Blogs_View;
protected override string DeletePermissionName => PermissionNames.Blogs_Delete;
}ASP.NET Core MVC
public class BlogsController : CrudController<IBlogService, int, BlogModel>
{
public BlogsController(IBlogService service) : base(service)
{
}
protected override string CreatePermissionName => PermissionNames.Blogs_Create;
protected override string EditPermissionName => PermissionNames.Blogs_Edit;
protected override string ViewPermissionName => PermissionNames.Blogs_View;
protected override string DeletePermissionName => PermissionNames.Blogs_Delete;
protected override string ViewName => "_BlogModal";
}
To create your first project based on DNTFrameworkCore you can install the following packages:
PM> Install-Package DNTFrameworkCore
PM> Install-Package DNTFrameworkCore.EFCore
PM> Install-Package DNTFrameworkCore.EFCore.SqlServer
PM> Install-Package DNTFrameworkCore.Web
PM> Install-Package DNTFrameworkCore.Web.EFCore
PM> Install-Package DNTFrameworkCore.FluentValidation
PM> Install-Package DNTFrameworkCore.Web.MultiTenancy
OR
1- Run the following command to install boilerplate project template based on ASP.NET Core Web API and DNTFrameworkCore:
dotnet new --install DNTFrameworkCoreTemplateAPI::*
2- Create new project with installed template:
dotnet new dntcore-api
Now you have a solution like below that contains complete identity management feature include user,role and dynamic permission management and also integrated with persistent JWT authentication machanism:
For more info about templates you can watch DNTFrameworkCoreTemplate repository
- Automatic Input Validation and Business Validation
- Automatic Transaction Management
- Eventing
- Aggregate Update (Master-Detail)
- Automatic Numbering
- Functional Programming Error Handling
- Dynamic Permission Authorization
- CrudService
- CrudController
- DbLogger Provider
- ProtectionKeys DbRepository
- Hooks
- SoftDelete
- MultiTenancy
- Tracking mechanism (ICreationTracking, IModificationTracking)
- FluentValidation Integration
- BackgroundTaskQueue
- CQRS (coming soon)
- EntityHistory (coming soon)
DNTFrameworkCore.TestAPI Complete ASP.NET Core Web API
Create Entity
public class Task : TrackableEntity<int>, IAggregateRoot, INumberedEntity, ICreationTracking, IModificationTracking
{
public const int MaxTitleLength = 256;
public const int MaxDescriptionLength = 1024;
public string Title { get; set; }
public string NormalizedTitle { get; set; }
public string Number { get; set; }
public string Description { get; set; }
public TaskState State { get; set; } = TaskState.Todo;
public byte[] RowVersion { get; set; }
}Implement ProjectDbContext that inherited from DbContextCore
public class ProjectDbContext : DbContextCore
{
public ProjectDbContext(
IHookEngine hookEngine,
IUserSession session,
DbContextOptions<ProjectDbContext> options) : base(hookEngine,session, options)
{
}
protected override void OnModelCreating(ModelBuilder modelBuilder)
{
modelBuilder.ApplyConfiguration(new TaskConfiguration());
base.OnModelCreating(modelBuilder);
}
protected override void AfterSaveChanges(SaveChangeContext context)
{
//if you are using https://github.com/VahidN/EFSecondLevelCache.Core as SecondLevelCache library
this.GetService<IEFCacheServiceProvider>()
.InvalidateCacheDependencies(context.ChangedEntityNames.ToArray());
}
}Create Model/DTO
[LocalizationResource(Name = "SharedResource", Location = "DNTFrameworkCore.TestAPI")]
public class TaskModel : MasterModel<int>, IValidatableObject
{
public string Title { get; set; }
[MaxLength(50, ErrorMessage = "Validation from DataAnnotations")]
public string Number { get; set; }
public string Description { get; set; }
public TaskState State { get; set; } = TaskState.Todo;
public IEnumerable<ValidationResult> Validate(ValidationContext validationContext)
{
if (Title == "IValidatableObject")
{
yield return new ValidationResult("Validation from IValidatableObject");
}
}
}Note: Based on validation infrastructure, you can validate Model/DTO with various approach, using by DataAnnotation ValidateAttribute, Implementing IValidatableObject or Implement IModelValidator that exist in DNTFrameworkCore package.
public class TaskValidator : ModelValidator<TaskModel>
{
public override IEnumerable<ModelValidationResult> Validate(TaskModel model)
{
if (!Enum.IsDefined(typeof(TaskState), model.State))
{
yield return new ModelValidationResult(nameof(TaskModel.State), "Validation from IModelValidator");
}
}
}Also in most cases, one Model/DTO can be enough for your requirements about Create/Edit/View an entity. However you can create ReadModel like below:
public class TaskReadModel : ReadModel<int>
{
public string Title { get; set; }
public string Number { get; set; }
public TaskState State { get; set; } = TaskState.Todo;
}Implement Service
public interface ITaskService : ICrudService<int, TaskReadModel, TaskModel, TaskFilteredPagedQueryModel>
{
}
public class TaskService : CrudService<Task, int, TaskReadModel, TaskModel, TaskFilteredPagedQueryModel>,
ITaskService
{
private readonly IMapper _mapper;
public TaskService(IUnitOfWork uow, IEventBus bus, IMapper mapper) :base(uow, bus)
{
_mapper = mapper ?? throw new ArgumentNullException(nameof(mapper);
}
protected override IQueryable<TaskReadModel> BuildReadQueryTaskFilteredPagedQueryModel model)
{
return EntitySet.AsNoTracking()
.WhereIf(model.State.HasValue, t => t.State == model.State)
.Select(t => new TaskReadModel
{
Id = t.Id,
Title = t.Title,
State = t.State,
Number = t.Number
});
}
protected override void MapToEntity(TaskModel model, Task task)
{
_mapper.Map(model, task);
}
protected override TaskModel MapToModel(Task task)
{
return _mapper.Map<TaskModel>(task);
}
}In DNTFrameworkCore.EFCore there is no dependency to AutoMapper or other mapper libraries, then you can do mapping between Entity and Model manually by implementing MapToModel and MapToEntity abstract methods.
Implement API Controller
[Route("api/[controller]")]
public class
TasksController : CrudController<ITaskService, int, TaskReadModel, TaskModel, TaskFilteredPagedQueryModel>
{
public TasksController(ITaskService service) : base(service)
{
}
protected override string CreatePermissionName => PermissionNames.Tasks_Create;
protected override string EditPermissionName => PermissionNames.Tasks_Edit;
protected override string ViewPermissionName => PermissionNames.Tasks_View;
protected override string DeletePermissionName => PermissionNames.Tasks_Delete;
}[Route("api/[controller]")]
public class BlogsController : CrudController<IBlogService, int, BlogModel>
{
public BlogsController(IBlogService service) : base(service)
{
}
protected override string CreatePermissionName => PermissionNames.Blogs_Create;
protected override string EditPermissionName => PermissionNames.Blogs_Edit;
protected override string ViewPermissionName => PermissionNames.Blogs_View;
protected override string DeletePermissionName => PermissionNames.Blogs_Delete;
}A small part of this project like the following sections are taken from ABP
- Validation with refactoring to support functional programming error handling mechanism
