WebApiSkeleton.FileSystem.Contracts 1.1.2

WebApiSkeleton.FileSystem

WebApiSkeleton.FileSystem contains NuGet packages that provide abstractions over a file storage. Default implementation is done around Minio S3 storage.

Description

• contains abstractions on files and directories that can be used around any file system. Also contains classes that are representing different file states (downloading, uploading, etc.);
• contains MediatR requests for file system implementation;
• is an implementation of file system based on Minio S3 storage.

Usage

Register the dependencies

Required Minio implementation dependencies are added to DI Container by using AddMinioAssemblyDependencies method. All configuration is done by modifying object.

Following settings are required and will throw if not specified or configured with errors:

• Endpoint - endpoint where Minio is located;
• AccessKey - minio access key;
• SecretKey - minio secret key.

Settings with default values that can be overriden if needed:

• MaximumInMemoryDownloadFileSizeByte - maximum file size that is downloaded by using MemoryStream (which means file is downloaded into server RAM). By default, only files that are sized less than 1 MB are downloaded this way;
• DefaultBucketName - the name of default Minio bucket, where files are stored if no directory specified. Default is master;
• DefaultDirectorySeparator - directory separator for file system abstraction. Default is /.

MediatR configuration

Minio implementation uses WebApiSkeleton features for MediatR requests, including pipeline behavior validation. Thus, requests from WebApiSkeleton.FileSystem.Contracts implement IValidatableRequest and IAuthorizedRequest.

Minio implementation module contains validators for all of the commands using FluentValidation that are automatically added to DI container. Although, ValidationBehavior from WebApiSkeleton.Contracts.Validation is not automatically added and must be added manually using methods found in documentation. Same is applied to PermissionBehavior from WebApiSkeleton.Security.

NOTE: It is highly recommended to add ValidationBehavior after PermissionBehavior because of performance and security reasons.

Example

Example usage can be found in directory.

Versioning

All projects are versioned using following format: major.minor.patch. Versioning rules for all projects:

• patch needs to be incremented when any minor change is made to the project, such as bugfixes or small project-specific features added
• minor needs to be incremented when new template-wide feature is implemented. In this case all of the projects must have the same version set
• major needs to be incremented when the WebApiSkeleton template has experienced significant changes, that need to upgrade all of the template packages. In this case all of the projects must have the same version set
