Installation
dotnet nuget add source --name equadrat-oss --username your_username --password your_token dotnet add package --source equadrat-oss --version 8.3.0 equadrat.Framework.Net.Authentication.UserIdentityAbout this package
A framework to extend the Microsoft .net framework with extra net(work) functionality.
equadrat Framework Net
The idea of the equadrat Framework is to provide APIs to build applications with an architecture of highly decoupled components. Every single component, aspect or pattern is represented by interfaces. The framework provides a standard implementation for these but each type can be replaced by a custom implementation.
The framework is not about reimplementing components, but making them available using common interfaces.
Getting started
You can use most of the components by simply instantiating them. This is maybe the easiest way to evaluate the framework.
If you're using an IOC/DI container such as Microsoft Extensions DependencyInjection or if you want to use the built-in IOC framework, you can use the bootstrapper and bootstrapper modules to register the framework to the IOC.
Usage
public static void Main(string[] args)
{
var builder = Host.CreateApplicationBuilder(args);
// Use the module registry to register bootstrapper modules. Usually each assembly has its own bootstrapper module.
// This will add their service declarations to the IServiceCollection.
// This requires equadrat.Framework.Core.Microsoft.Extensions.Hosting NuGet package.
builder.Services.RegisterBootstrapperModules(moduleRegistry => moduleRegistry.NetFramework().RegisterBaseModule());
// Declare other services as usual.
// builder.Services.AddSingleton<...>(...);
var app = builder.Build();
// Optional: initialize all services declared by the registered bootstrapper modules. Calling this method is required for all environments which doesn't support IHostedService, such es browsers/webassembly.
app.Services.InitBootstrapperModules();
app.Run();
}
- Get the INetTransportLayer of your choice from the INetTransportLayerProvider.
- Create and start a listener using the transport layer.
- Create and connect a client using the transport layer.
- Authentication (optional)
- Perform the authentication process of your coice on the client.
- Handle the authentication process accordingly on the server side.
- Protocol (optional)
- Create a raw/rpc connection on the client and server side.
- Declare the channels you want to use.
- Name
- Type: request (usually client side), response (usually server side), duplex
- Create a request/response channel to send/receive data.
- Each channel can have multiple request/response streams.
Have a look at the example applications on equadrat.net and in the wiki.
Interesting components
This is a list of some (not all) components of the framework which might be interesting for you.
Transport
- INetTransportLayerProvider
- INetTransportLayer
- NetTransportInMemoryLayer
- NetTransportTcpLayer
- NetTransportSecureLayer (SSL/TLS)
- INetTransportStreamWrapperFactory
- INetTransportPortManager
- X509Certificate2Builder (generate self-signed certificates, i.e. when running unit tests)
Authentication
- INetAuthenticationProcessProvider
- INetAuthenticationProcess
- NetAuthenticationNegotiateProcess (Windows NTLM/Kerberos)
- NetAuthenticationUserIdProcess (username + password)
- NetAuthenticationUserIdentityProcess (user id + signature, optional server password)
Protocol
- INetProtocolRawChannelConnectionFactory (each connection with multi byte-stream per channel)
- INetProtocolDtoChannelConnectionFactory (each connection with multi object-stream per channel)
Compatibility
The plan is to keep the equadrat Framework compatible to these .net versions as long as possible.
| .net version | min | max | automated tests* |
|---|---|---|---|
| Core | 3.1 | ≥ 10.x | yes |
| Standard | 2.0 | ≥ 2.1 | no |
| Framework | 4.6.2 | ≥ 4.8.x | no |
*The automated tests run under Linux for .net Core 6.x and above.
Version scheme and breaking changes
| Version change | Scope |
|---|---|
| Major | Overhaul of the project |
| Minor | Some types have changed |
| Revision | Fully backward compatible |
| Build | Set in preview versions only |
