About

Aiska.IdempotentApi is a .NET library designed to simplify the implementation of idempotent APIs. Idempotency is a crucial property for ensuring that an API request, when made multiple times, has the same effect as if it were made only once. This is particularly important in distributed systems where network issues can lead to requests being retried.

This library provides a straightforward way to wrap your API endpoints, ensuring that requests with the same idempotency key are processed only once. It handles the storage and retrieval of request results, preventing duplicate processing and ensuring data consistency.

The library is built using C# and targets .NET. It's designed to be lightweight and easy to integrate into existing .NET projects. The core architecture involves intercepting API requests, checking for an existing result based on the idempotency key, and either returning the stored result or processing the request and storing the result for future use.

Here is Diagram process base on draft-ietf :

✨ Features

• 🎯 Idempotency Key Handling: Automatically manages idempotency keys provided in request headers.
• ⚡ Performance: Optimized for minimal overhead, ensuring that idempotency checks don't significantly impact API response times.
• 🔒 Concurrency: Thread-safe implementation to handle concurrent requests safely.
• 🛠️ Extensible: Allows customization of storage mechanisms for idempotency keys and results.
• ⚙️ Configurable: Provides options to configure the behavior of the idempotency logic.

🚀 Quick Start

Install the NuGet package and add the necessary code to your ASP.NET Core pipeline.

Install-Package Aiska.IdempotentApi

// In your Startup.cs or Program.cs
public void ConfigureServices(IServiceCollection services)
{
 builder.Services.AddIdempotentApi(builder.Configuration);
 // Other service configurations
}

📦 Installation

Prerequisites

• .NET 8 (minimum)
• An ASP.NET Core project

NuGet Package

Install-Package Aiska.IdempotentApi

From Source (Advanced)

# Clone the repository
git clone https://github.com/aiska/Aiska.IdempotentApi.git
cd Aiska.IdempotentApi

# Build the project
dotnet build

<a id="usage"></a>

💻 Usage

Basic Usage

1. Add the Idempotency Service: In your Program.cs or Startup.cs, add the AddIdempotency service.

   // Program.cs or Startup.cs
   builder.Services.AddIdempotency(); // For .NET 6+
   // OR
   services.AddIdempotency(); // For .NET Core 3.1 and .NET 5
   

2. Add the Idempotency Filter: Add the AddIdempotentFilter Filter your Endpoint Minimal Api.

   // Program.cs or Startup.cs
   todosApi.MapPost("/", async (Todo todo) =>
   {
    // simulate creation
    return Results.Created($"/todoitems/{todo.Id}", todo);
   }).AddIdempotentFilter();
   

   Or **Apply the [Idempotent] attribute to your controller actions **:

   using Microsoft.AspNetCore.Mvc;
   using Aiska.IdempotentApi;
   
   [ApiController]
   [Route("[controller]")]
   public class MyController : ControllerBase
   {
    [HttpPost]
    [Idempotent]
    public IActionResult MyAction([FromBody] MyRequest request)
    {
    // Your logic here
    return Ok(new { Message = "Request processed successfully" });
    }
   }
   
   public class MyRequest
   {
    public string Data { get; set; }
   }
   

3. Include an Idempotency-Key Header: Send an Idempotency-Key header with your API request. The value should be a unique identifier for the request.

   POST /MyController/MyAction HTTP/1.1
   Content-Type: application/json
   Idempotency-Key: unique-request-id
   
   {
    "data": "some data"
   }
   

Advanced Examples

For more advanced configuration options, see the Configuration section.

<a id="configuration"></a>

⚙️ Configuration

Idempotency Key Header Name

The default header name is Idempotency-Key. You can customize this:

builder.Services.AddIdempotentApi(options =>
{
 options.KeyHeaderName = "X-Idempotency-Key";
 options.ExpirationFromMinutes = 5;
});

Idempotency Cache expiration

The default Cache expiration name is 5. You can customize this:

builder.Services.AddIdempotentApi(options =>
{
 options.ExpirationFromMinutes = 10;
});

Storage Provider

By default, the library uses an in-memory storage provider. For production environments, you'll want to implement a persistent storage provider (e.g., using Redis or a database).

// Example (not a complete implementation)
public class CustomIdempotencyStore : IIdempotencyStore
{
 // Implement the IIdempotencyStore interface methods (GetAsync, SetAsync, etc.)
}

builder.Services.AddSingleton<IIdempotencyStore, CustomIdempotencyStore>();
