AsyncAPI–ASP.NET Core integration

AsyncAPI is an open source initiative with as goal to document event-driven architectures in a similar that OpenAPI documents REST APIs. If you want to get a good introduction chec k out my previous posts about AsyncAPI:

Today I want to talk about that allows you to integrate an AsyncAPI more easily into your ASP.NET Core application; Neuroglia AsyncAPI.

Let me walk you through a small example I created.

  • First add the following nuget package to your ASP.NET Core project:
    • Neuroglia.AsyncApi.AspNetCore.UI
  • Now we can register the necessary configuration:
  • Notice in the code above that I’m referring to an OrdersController class. This ASP.NET core controller publishes an event to create a new order:
  • The library scans the provided class to find specific attributes to build up the AsyncAPI schema. We also need to register the necessary middleware:
  • If we now run the application and browse to the asyncapi endpoint, you can see the AsyncAPI information:

Remark: Be aware that to make this work you need to enable RazorPages (which is not mentioned in the documentation):

Podman– Command execution failed with exit code 125

After updating WSL on one of the developer machines, Podman failed to work. When we took a look through Podman Desktop, we noticed that Podman had stopped running and returned the following error message: Error: Command execution failed with exit code 125 Here are the steps we tried to fix the issue: We started by running podman info to get some extra details on what could be wrong: >podman info OS: windows/amd64 provider: wsl version: 5.3.1 Cannot connect to Podman. Please verify your connection to the Linux system using `podman system connection list`, or try `podman machine init` and `podman machine start` to manage a new Linux VM Error: unable to connect to Podman socket: failed to connect: dial tcp 127.0.0.1:2655: connectex: No connection could be made because the target machine actively refused it. That makes sense as the podman VM was not running. Let’s check the VM: >podman machine list NAME         ...

Azure DevOps/ GitHub emoji

I’m really bad at remembering emoji’s. So here is cheat sheet with all emoji’s that can be used in tools that support the github emoji markdown markup: All credits go to rcaviers who created this list.

Cleaner switch expressions with pattern matching in C#

Ever find yourself mapping multiple string values to the same result? Being a C# developer for a long time, I sometimes forget that the C# has evolved so I still dare to chain case labels or reach for a dictionary. Of course with pattern matching this is no longer necessary. With pattern matching, you can express things inline, declaratively, and with zero repetition. A small example I was working on a small script that should invoke different actions depending on the environment. As our developers were using different variations for the same environment e.g.  "tst" alongside "test" , "prd" alongside "prod" .  We asked to streamline this a long time ago, but as these things happen, we still see variations in the wild. This brought me to the following code that is a perfect example for pattern matching: The or keyword here is a logical pattern combinator , not a boolean operator. It matches if either of the specified pattern...
