AsyncAPI.NET.Bindings 6.0.0-beta.97

AsyncAPI.NET

The AsyncAPI.NET SDK contains a useful object model for the AsyncAPI specification in .NET along with common serializers to extract raw AsyncAPI JSON and YAML documents from the model as well.

Installation

Install the NuGet packages:

AsyncAPI.NET

AsyncAPI.Readers

AsyncAPI.Bindings

Example Usage

Main classes to know:

• AsyncApiStringReader
• AsyncApiStringWriter
  • There is an extension on the AsyncApiDocument type which allows Serializing as well (new AsyncApiDocument().SerializeAsJson() or new AsyncApiDocument().SerializeAsYaml()

Writing

var myFirstAsyncApi = new AsyncApiDocument
{
  Info = new AsyncApiInfo
  {
    Title = "my first asyncapi"
  },
  Channels = new Dictionary<string, AsyncApiChannel>
  {
    {
	"users", new AsyncApiChannel
	{
	    Subscribe = new AsyncApiOperation
	    {
		OperationId = "users",
		Description = "my users channel"
	    }
	}
    }
  }
};
var yaml = myFirstAsyncApi.SerializeAsYaml();
//asyncapi: '2.5.0'
//  info:
//    title: my first asyncapi
//  channels:
//    users:
//      subscribe:
//        operationId: users
//        description: my users channel

Reading

var httpClient = new HttpClient
{
  BaseAddress = new Uri("https://raw.githubusercontent.com/asyncapi/spec/"),
};

var stream = await httpClient.GetStreamAsync("master/examples/streetlights-kafka.yml");
var asyncApiDocument = new AsyncApiStreamReader().Read(stream, out var diagnostic);

Reading External $ref

You can read externally referenced AsyncAPI documents by setting the ReferenceResolution property of the AsyncApiReaderSettings object to ReferenceResolutionSetting.ResolveAllReferences and providing an implementation for the IAsyncApiExternalReferenceReader interface. This interface contains a single method to which the built AsyncAPI.NET reader library will pass the location content contained in a $ref property (usually some form of path) and interface will return the content which is retrieved from wherever the $ref points to as a string. The AsyncAPI.NET reader will then automatically infer the T type of the content and recursively parse the external content into an AsyncAPI document as a child of the original document that contained the $ref. This means that you can have externally referenced documents that themselves contain external references.

This interface allows users to load the content of their external reference however and from whereever is required. A new instance of the implementor of IAsyncApiExternalReferenceReader should be registered with the ExternalReferenceReader property of the AsyncApiReaderSettings when creating the reader from which the GetExternalResource method will be called when resolving external references.

Below is a very simple example of implementation for IAsyncApiExternalReferenceReader that simply loads a file and returns it as a string found at the reference endpoint.

using System.IO;

public class AsyncApiExternalFileSystemReader : IAsyncApiExternalReferenceReader
{
    public string Load(string reference)
    {
        return File.ReadAllText(reference);
    }
}

This can then be configured in the reader as follows:

var settings = new AsyncApiReaderSettings
{
  ReferenceResolution = ReferenceResolutionSetting.ResolveAllReferences,
  ExternalReferenceReader = new AsyncApiExternalFileSystemReader(),
};
var reader = new AsyncApiStringReader(settings);

This would function for a AsyncAPI document with following reference to load the content of message.yaml as a AsyncApiMessage object inline with the document object.

asyncapi: 2.3.0
info:
  title: test
  version: 1.0.0
channels:
  workspace:
    publish:
      message:
        $ref: "../../../message.yaml"

Bindings

To add support for reading bindings, simply add the bindings you wish to support, to the Bindings collection of AsyncApiReaderSettings. There is a nifty helper to add different types of bindings, or like in the example All of them.

var settings = new AsyncApiReaderSettings();
settings.Bindings = BindingsCollection.All;
var asyncApiDocument = new AsyncApiStringReader(settings).Read(stream, out var diagnostic);
