NpgsqlRest.HttpFiles 1.0.1

NpgsqlRest.HttpFiles

Automatic HTTP File Client Code Generation for NpgsqlRest

Metadata plug-in for the NpgsqlRest library.

Provides support for the generation of the HTTP Client Files.

Overview

Outputs a file or multiple files with the .http extension containing the HTTP request definitions for endpoints generated by NpgsqlRest.

The .http file format and editor were inspired by the Visual Studio Code REST Client extension.

Example of the generated file for the hello_world function:

@host=http://localhost:5000

###

// function public.hello_world()
// returns text
POST {{host}}/api/my-schema/hello-world

All generated .http files will have randomly filled parameter values and they are ready to run and test.

@host=http://localhost:5000

###

// function public.test_func_1(
//     _p1 integer,
//     _p2 integer
// )
// returns text
POST {{host}}/api/test-func-1
content-type: application/json

{
    "p1": 1,
    "p2": 2
}

###

// function public.test_func_2(
//     _p1 integer,
//     _p2 integer
// )
// returns text
GET {{host}}/api/test-func-2?p1=1&p2=2

Install

dotnet add package NpgsqlRest.HttpFiles --version 1.0.0

Minimal Usage

Initialize EndpointCreateHandlers options property as an array containing an HttpFile plug-in instance:

using NpgsqlRest;
using NpgsqlRest.HttpFiles;

var app = builder.Build();
app.UseNpgsqlRest(new()
{
    ConnectionString = connectionString,
    EndpointCreateHandlers = [new HttpFile()],
});
app.Run();

HttpFile options

using NpgsqlRest;
using NpgsqlRest.HttpFiles;

var app = builder.Build();
app.UseNpgsqlRest(new()
{
    ConnectionString = connectionString,
    EndpointCreateHandlers = [
        new HttpFile(new HttpFileOptions
        {
            /// <summary>
            /// Options for HTTP file generation:
            /// Disabled - skip.
            /// File - creates a file on disk.
            /// Endpoint - exposes file content as endpoint.
            /// Both - creates a file on disk and exposes file content as endpoint.
            /// </summary>
            Option = HttpFileOption.Both,
            /// <summary>
            /// The pattern to use when generating file names. {0} is database name, {1} is schema suffix with underline when FileMode is set to Schema.

            /// </summary>

            /// <summary>
            /// Set to true to overwrite existing files.
            /// </summary>
            FileOverwrite = false,
            /// <summary>
            /// The connection string to the database used in NpgsqlRest.
            /// Used to get the name of the database for the file name.
            /// If Name property is set, this property is ignored.
            /// </summary>
            ConnectionString = null,
            /// <summary>
            /// File name. If not set, the database name will be used if connection string is set.
            /// If neither ConnectionString nor Name is set, the file name will be "npgsqlrest".
            /// </summary>
            Name = null
        })
    ],
