📦 Package Overview

Authlink.Policy.Client.Http provides a concrete HTTP implementation of the IPolicyClient abstraction from Authlink.Policy.Client.Core, enabling seamless integration with Authlink’s Policy Decision Point (PDP) over REST. It leverages System.Net.Http and HttpClientFactory to deliver a resilient, configurable client for decision requests.

It is intended to be consumed alongside:

  • Authlink.Policy.Client.Core

Optionally paired with:

  • Authlink.Policy.Client.AspNetCore

🚀 Install

dotnet add package Authlink.Policy.Client.Http

Or via Package Manager:

PM> Install-Package Authlink.Policy.Client.Http

🔧 Purpose

This package delivers:

  • A PolicyHttpClient that implements IPolicyClient over HTTP
  • Transparent JSON (de)serialization of DecisionRequest / DecisionResponse
  • Configurable endpoint, timeout, and default client‐ID via PolicyHttpClientOptions
  • Fail‐closed behavior on HTTP errors (non-200 ⇒ Deny)
  • Easy registration with IServiceCollection

⚙️ Usage

1. Register in Startup or Program

builder.Services.AddPolicyHttpClient(options =>
{
    options.BaseUrl = "https://authlink.co.za";
    options.ClientId = new Guid("11111111-2222-3333-4444-555555555555");
});

2. Inject and call

public class InvoiceService
{
    private readonly IPolicyClient _policy;

    public InvoiceService(IPolicyClient policyClient)
    {
        _policy = policyClient;
    }

    public async Task<bool> CanCreateInvoiceAsync(Guid userId)
    {
        var request = new DecisionRequest 
        {
            UserId = userId,
            PermissionKey = "invoice:create",
            ResourceKey = "INVOICE"
        };
        
        var response = await _policy.DecideAsync(request);

        return response.Decision == Decision.Allow;
    }
}
