Craft.LocalizationModule 1.0.4

Craft

Craft is the ultimate framework that supercharges ASP.NET Core! With its sleek layer of extension methods and powerful features, it transforms your code into a modular, clean, and effortlessly simple masterpiece. Build smarter, not harder!

For a better understanding, take a look at the Craft.Api project inside this repo. I have a demonstration usages of Craft extensions around common ASP.NET Core Web Api project.

Routing

Craft leverages the power of IEndpointRouteBuilder routing and harnesses all the extensions from IEndpointConventionBuilder aka Minimal APIs to keep your code sleek and efficient. Need a secure route? No problem! Define a route with built-in authorization in just a few lines. Clean, modern, and developer-friendly!

Get Started with Craft in Minutes! �

dotnet new webapi --output web-api
cd web-api && dotnet add package Craft.CraftModule

Open the web-api project in your favorite IDE and create a new module, e.g., TodoModule.cs.

Open Program.cs and call the Craft extension method to register your module(s):

// Option 1: Automatically discover modules from the assembly
builder.Services.AddCraftModulesFromAssembly(typeof(Program).Assembly);

// Option 2: Manually specify modules
builder.Services.AddCraftModules([typeof(TodoModule)]);

Choose whichever suits your style!

Finally, add this line to automatically map all your module endpoints:

app.UseCraftGeneralException(); // general exception handler (optional)

app.MapCraftModulesEndpoint();

And that’s it! Your endpoints are now ready to roll. 🚀

Simple todo api example

public sealed class Todo
{
 public int Id { get; set; }
 public string Title { get; set; }
}

public sealed class TodoModule : CraftModule
{
 private List<Todo> _todos = new List<Todo>
 {
 new Todo { Id = 1, Title = "Buy milk" },
 new Todo { Id = 2, Title = "Walk the dog" },
 };
 
 public override IEndpointRouteBuilder AddRoutes(
 IEndpointRouteBuilder builder
 {
 var endpoints = builder.MapGroup("/api/todos");
 endpoints.MapGet("/", () => _todos);
 endpoints.MapGet("/{id}", (int id) => _todos.FirstOrDefault(x => x.Id == id));
 endpoints.MapPut("/", (string title) => 
 {
 var todo = new Todo { Id = _todos.Count + 1, Title = title };
 _todos.Add(todo);
 return Results.Created($"/api/todos/{todo.Id}", todo);
 });
 endpoints.MapDelete("/{id}", (int id) => 
 {
 var todo = _todos.FirstOrDefault(x => x.Id == id);
 if (todo == null)
 {
 return Results.NotFound();
 }
 _todos.Remove(todo);
 return Results.NoContent();
 });
 endpoints.MapPatch("/{id}", (int id, string title) => 
 {
 var todo = _todos.FirstOrDefault(x => x.Id == id);
 if (todo == null)
 {
 return Results.NotFound();
 }
 todo.Title = title;
 return Results.Ok(todo);
 });
 return builder;
 }
}

Want to Use a Database in Your Module?

Craft has you covered! You can seamlessly integrate Entity Framework Core into your module.

Install the PostgreSQL Provider

To get started, install the Npgsql.EntityFrameworkCore.PostgreSQL package:

dotnet add package Npgsql.EntityFrameworkCore.PostgreSQL

Create a Database Context

Next, create an ApiDbContext class that inherits from CraftDbContext and define a DbSet for your entity.

ApiDbContext.cs

using Craft.Api.Domain;
using Craft.CraftModule.Infrastructure;
using Microsoft.EntityFrameworkCore;

namespace Craft.Api.Infrastructure;

public class ApiDbContext(DbContextOptions<ApiDbContext> options)
 : CraftDbContext<ApiDbContext>(options)
{
 public DbSet<TodoEntity> Todos { get; set; }
}

Configure Your Entity in the Module

In your TodoModule.cs file, override the ConfigureModelBuilder method to define your entity schema.

public sealed class TodoModule : CraftModule
{
 public override void ConfigureModelBuilder(ModelBuilder modelBuilder)
 {
 modelBuilder.Entity<TodoEntity>(entity =>
 {
 entity.HasKey(e => e.Id);
 entity.Property(e => e.Content).IsRequired();
 entity.Property(e => e.IsCompleted).HasDefaultValue(false);
 });
 }
}

Define Your Connection String

Add your database connection string to appsettings.json:

{
 "ConnectionStrings": {
 "DefaultConnection": "Host=localhost;Port=5432;Database=craft;Username=postgres;Password=postgres"
 }
}

Configure the Database Context in Program.cs

Modify your Program.cs file to register the database context:

builder.Services.AddDbContext<ApiDbContext>(options =>
{
 var connectionString = builder.Configuration.GetConnectionString("DefaultConnection");
 options.UseNpgsql(connectionString);
});

Run Migrations and Update the Database

dotnet ef migrations add InitialCreate
dotnet ef database update

🎉 That's It! Your module is now fully integrated with Entity Framework Core.

For a complete working example, check out the example Craft.Api project in this repository under the Modules folder. 🚀

Additionally, you can use a separate DbContext for each module.

For example, simply create a TodoDbContext and register it in the PreInitialization method:

services.AddDbContext<TodoDbContext>();

This allows each module to have its own isolated database context, improving modularity and maintainability. 🚀
