Features

• Host Utilities:
  • HostExtensions for managing and customizing host configurations.
• Service Provider Extensions:
  • ServiceProviderExtensions for streamlined service resolution and initialization.
• Hosting Initialization:
  • IHostingInitializer interface to define and manage hosting initialization logic.
• Compatibility:
  • Integrates seamlessly with Franz.Common, Franz.Common.DependencyInjection, and Franz.Common.Reflection.

Version Information

• Current Version: 1.2.62
• Part of the private Franz Framework ecosystem.

Dependencies

This package relies on:

• Microsoft.Extensions.Hosting.Abstractions (8.0.0): Core hosting abstractions for building and running .NET applications.
• Franz.Common: Provides core utilities and shared functionality.
• Franz.Common.DependencyInjection: Simplifies dependency injection patterns.
• Franz.Common.Reflection: Offers advanced reflection utilities for host configuration and initialization.

Installation

From Private Azure Feed

Since this package is hosted privately, configure your NuGet client:

dotnet nuget add source "https://your-private-feed-url" \
  --name "AzurePrivateFeed" \
  --username "YourAzureUsername" \
  --password "YourAzurePassword" \
  --store-password-in-clear-text

Install the package:

dotnet add package Franz.Common.Hosting --version 1.2.62

Usage

1. Customize Host Configuration

Use HostExtensions to configure the host:

using Franz.Common.Hosting.Extensions;

var host = Host.CreateDefaultBuilder(args)
    .ConfigureServices((context, services) =>
    {
        // Register services here
    })
    .UseCustomConfiguration() // Custom extension method for host configuration
    .Build();

await host.RunAsync();

2. Service Resolution

Use ServiceProviderExtensions to resolve and manage services dynamically:

using Franz.Common.Hosting.Extensions;

var service = host.Services.GetRequiredServiceWithLogging<IMyService>();
service.Execute();

3. Hosting Initialization

Implement the IHostingInitializer interface for initializing hosting environments:

using Franz.Common.Hosting;

public class MyHostingInitializer : IHostingInitializer
{
    public void Initialize(IHostBuilder hostBuilder)
    {
        hostBuilder.ConfigureServices((context, services) =>
        {
            services.AddSingleton<IMyService, MyService>();
        });
    }
}

Register the initializer during application startup:

hostBuilder.UseHostingInitializer<MyHostingInitializer>();

Integration with Franz Framework

The Franz.Common.Hosting package integrates seamlessly with:

• Franz.Common: Provides foundational utilities.
• Franz.Common.DependencyInjection: Simplifies dependency injection setup.
• Franz.Common.Reflection: Enables dynamic discovery and registration of services and initializers.

Ensure these dependencies are installed to leverage the full capabilities of the library.
