Aspire.Hosting.Azure.Cosmos library

Provides extension methods and resource definitions for an Aspire AppHost to configure Azure CosmosDB.

Getting started

Prerequisites

Install the package

In your AppHost project, install the Aspire Azure Cosmos DB Hosting library with NuGet:

dotnet add package Aspire.Hosting.Azure.CosmosDB

Configure Azure Provisioning for local development

Adding Azure resources to the Aspire application model will automatically enable development-time provisioning for Azure resources so that you don't need to configure them manually. Provisioning requires a number of settings to be available via .NET configuration. Set these values in user secrets in order to allow resources to be configured automatically.

{
    "Azure": {
      "SubscriptionId": "<your subscription id>",
      "ResourceGroupPrefix": "<prefix for the resource group>",
      "Location": "<azure location>"
    }
}

NOTE: Developers must have Owner access to the target subscription so that role assignments can be configured for the provisioned resources.

Usage example

Then, in the AppHost.cs file of AppHost, add a Cosmos DB connection and consume the connection using the following methods:

var cosmosdb = builder.AddAzureCosmosDB("cdb").AddCosmosDatabase("cosmosdb");

var myService = builder.AddProject<Projects.MyService>()
                       .WithReference(cosmosdb);

The WithReference method passes that connection information into a connection string named cosmosdb in the MyService project. In the Program.cs file of MyService, the connection can be consumed using the client library Aspire.Microsoft.Azure.Cosmos:

builder.AddAzureCosmosClient("cosmosdb");

Emulator usage

Aspire supports the usage of the Azure Cosmos DB emulator to use the emulator, add the following to your AppHost project:

// AppHost
var cosmosdb = builder.AddAzureCosmosDB("cosmos").RunAsEmulator();

When the AppHost starts up a local container running the Azure CosmosDB will also be started:

// Service code
builder.AddAzureCosmosClient("cosmos");
