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         ...

VS Code Planning mode

After the introduction of Plan mode in Visual Studio , it now also found its way into VS Code. Planning mode, or as I like to call it 'Hannibal mode', extends GitHub Copilot's Agent Mode capabilities to handle larger, multi-step coding tasks with a structured approach. Instead of jumping straight into code generation, Planning mode creates a detailed execution plan. If you want more details, have a look at my previous post . Putting plan mode into action VS Code takes a different approach compared to Visual Studio when using plan mode. Instead of a configuration setting that you can activate but have limited control over, planning is available as a separate chat mode/agent: I like this approach better than how Visual Studio does it as you have explicit control when plan mode is activated. Instead of immediately diving into execution, the plan agent creates a plan and asks some follow up questions: You can further edit the plan by clicking on ‘Open in Editor’: ...
