Log

The Log methods are synchronous.

By default, an app is logging into Console, Debug, EventSource, EventLog (only when running on Windows).

Program.cs

public static IHostBuilder CreateHostBuilder(string[] args) =>
    Host.CreateDefaultBuilder(args)
        .ConfigureLogging(logging =>
        {
            logging.ClearProviders();  // remove all the providers: no more logs
        })
        .ConfigureWebHostDefaults(webBuilder =>
        {
            webBuilder.UseStartup<Startup>();
        });

public class MyClass
{
    private readonly ILogger logger;

    public MyClass(ILogger<MyClass> logger)
    {
        this.logger = logger;
    }

    public void MyMethod()
    {
        logger.LogDebug("Debug");
        logger.LogTrace("Trace");
        logger.LogInformation("Info");
        logger.LogWarning("Warn");
        logger.LogError("Error");
        logger.LogCritical("Fatal");
    }
}

config.json

{
  "Logging": {
    "LogLevel": {
      "Default": "Information",  // log level par défaut
      "Microsoft": "Warning",    // pour les loggers commençant par Microsoft
      "MyClass": "Debug"         // pour les loggers commençant par MyClass
    }
  }

Built-in logging providers

Console	VS code "DEBUG CONSOLE" tab In the console window when the app is run with dotnet run
Debug	Debug window when debugging in Visual Studio On Linux journal or /var/log/message or /var/log/syslog
EventSource	Event Tracing for Windows (ETW)
EventLog	Windows Event Log
TraceSource	System.Diagnostics.TraceSource libraries and providers ()
Azure App Service	text files in an Azure App Service app's file system and to blob storage in an Azure Storage account

Nuget packages

# ajouter un package NuGet
dotnet add package <package_name>
dotnet add package <package_name> --version 2.0.0

# lists the NuGet packages
dotnet list package
# lists packages that have newer versions available
dotnet list package --outdated

Directory.Build.targets

Allows you to manage the versions of Nuget packages in a single centralized file.

Directory.Build.targets

<!-- Directory.Build.targets file has to be at the solution root -->
<Project>
  <ItemGroup>
    <PackageReference Update="AutoMapper" Version="10.1.1" />

MyProject/MyProject.csproj

<Project Sdk="Microsoft.NET.Sdk.Web">
  <ItemGroup>
    <!-- remove the version -->
    <PackageReference Include="AutoMapper" />

Configuration

Sources des settings par défaut dans l'ordre de lecture:

appsettings.json
appsettings.<EnvironmentName>.json
UserSecrets in Development environment
Environment variables
Command-line arguments

Startup.cs

using Microsoft.Extensions.Configuration;  // Microsoft.Extensions.Configuration.Abstractions.dll

public IConfiguration Configuration { get; }

public Startup(IConfiguration configuration)
{
    Configuration = configuration;
}

// recherche Key, si Key n'a pas été trouvé affecte default value à la variable value
var value = Configuration.GetValue<string>("Key", "default value");
var value = Configuration["Key"];

// pour les connection strings
Configuration.GetConnectionString("SqlServer1")

// dotnet add package System.Data.SqlClient
var builder = new SqlConnectionStringBuilder(Configuration.GetConnectionString("SqlServer4")); // from appsettings.json
builder.Password = Configuration["DbPassword"]; // from secrets storage in Dev and appsettings.json in Prod 
var connectionString = builder.ConnectionString;

appsettings.json

{
  "Key": "Value",
  "ConnectionStrings": {
    "SqlServer1": "Server=(localdb)\\MSSQLLocalDB;Database=MyDb;Integrated Security=True;MultipleActiveResultSets=True",
    "SqlServer2": "Server=(localdb)\\mssqllocaldb;Database=MyDb;Trusted_Connection=True;",
    "SqlServer3": "Server=localhost;Database=MyDb;User=sa;Password=pwd;",
    "SqlServer4": "server=localhost;database=MyDb;user=sa;",
    "MySql": "Server=localhost;Database=MyDb;User=root;Password=pwd;",
    "Sqlite": "Data Source=MyDb.db"
  },
  "DbPassword": "****"
}

File Configuration Provider

Useful for using a file other than appsettings.config or for Console projects.

Program.cs

public static IHostBuilder CreateHostBuilder(string[] args) =>
    Host.CreateDefaultBuilder(args)
        .ConfigureHostConfiguration(configHost =>
        {
            configHost.SetBasePath(Directory.GetCurrentDirectory());
            configHost.AddJsonFile("passwords.json", optional: true);
        })
        .UseStartup<Startup>();
}

public static IWebHostBuilder CreateWebHostBuilder(string[] args) =>
    WebHost.CreateDefaultBuilder(args)
           .ConfigureAppConfiguration((hostingContext, config) =>
           {
               config.AddJsonFile("passwords.json", optional: false, reloadOnChange: false);
               config.AddXmlFile("appsettings.xml", optional: true, reloadOnChange: true);
           })
           .UseStartup<Startup>();
}

Safe storage of app secrets in development in ASP.NET Core

User Secrets – What Are They And Why Do I Need Them?

Useful in dev environment to not store password in source code.

# aller dans le dossier contenant le *.csproj
cd MyProject

# adds a UserSecretsId element within a PropertyGroup of the .csproj file
dotnet user-secrets init

# set a secret
# put a space as first character so the command line is not saved in the history
 dotnet user-secrets set "key" "secret"
# the whole connection string
 dotnet user-secrets set "ConnectionStrings:SqlServer" "server=localhost;database=test;user=test;password=****"
# only the connection string password
 dotnet user-secrets set "DbPassword" "****"

# the secrets are stored in a JSON configuration file in a system-protected user profile folder on the local machine
# Windows: %APPDATA%\microsoft\UserSecrets\<userSecretsId>\secrets.json
# Linux:   ~/.microsoft/usersecrets/<userSecretsId>/secrets.json


# list all secrets of the current project
dotnet user-secrets list

# remove a secret in the current project
dotnet user-secrets remove "key"

# remove all secrets of the current project
dotnet user-secrets clear

WebApi/Program.cs

// The user secrets configuration source is automatically added in development mode
// when the project calls CreateDefaultBuilder to initialize a new instance of the host with preconfigured defaults.
// CreateDefaultBuilder calls AddUserSecrets when the EnvironmentName is Development
public static IHostBuilder CreateHostBuilder(string[] args) =>
    Host.CreateDefaultBuilder(args)
        .ConfigureWebHostDefaults(webBuilder =>
        {
            webBuilder.UseStartup<Startup>();
        });

Console/Program.cs

public static IConfigurationRoot Configuration { get; set; }

private static void Main()
{
    var builder = new ConfigurationBuilder();
    // dotnet add package Microsoft.Extensions.Configuration.UserSecrets
    builder.AddUserSecrets<Program>();
    Configuration = builder.Build();

Environment variables

Command-line

dotnet MyApp MyKey="value"

Environnement

L’environnement utilisé est contenu dans la variable environnement ASPNETCORE_ENVIRONMENT 3 valeurs sont supportées par le framework:

Development
Staging
Production (valeur par défaut)

# lancer le service avec l'environnement Development
ASPNETCORE_ENVIRONMENT=Development dotnet run
dotnet run --ASPNETCORE_ENVIRONMENT Development

Configuration pour la ligne de commande:

Properties/launchSettings.json

{
  "profiles": {
    "my_project": {
      "commandName": "Project",
      "launchBrowser": true,
      "launchUrl": "api/values",
      "applicationUrl": "https://localhost:5001;http://localhost:5000",
      "environmentVariables": {
        "ASPNETCORE_ENVIRONMENT": "Development"
      }
    }
  }
}

Configuration pour vs code:

.vscode/launch.json

"configurations": [
    {
        "name": ".NET Core Launch (web)",
        "env": {
            "ASPNETCORE_ENVIRONMENT": "Development"
        }
    }
]

Configuration pour vs:
VS → Projet Properties → Debug → Environment variables → ASPNETCORE_ENVIRONMENT = Development

Deployment Scripts

MyProject.csproj

<Target Name="MyPublishScripts" AfterTargets="BeforePublish">
  <Exec Command="npm install" />
  <Exec Command="gulp minify" />
  <Exec Command="ng build" />
</Target>

Publish

Applications can be published in two different modes: self-contained or runtime-dependent.

self-contained includes the .NET Core runtime and libraries, and your application and its dependencies. Users of the application can run it on a machine that doesn't have the .NET Core runtime installed.
runtime-dependent includes only your application itself and its dependencies. Users of the application have to separately install the .NET Core runtime.

# publier dans le dossier bin\Debug\netcoreapp2.0\publish
dotnet publish -c Release -r linux-arm --self-contained false
# -c : configuration : Debug (default), Release
# -r <RUNTIME_IDENTIFIER> : publishes the application for a given runtime
# --self-contained [true|false] : publishes the .NET Core runtime with the application (default true if a runtime identifier is specified and the project is an executable project)
# -o /path/folder : output directory (default: bin/[configuration]/[framework]/publish or bin/[configuration]/[framework]/[runtime]/publish )

# rendre l'exécutable exécutable pour tous
chmod +x bin/Release/netcoreapp2.1/ubuntu.16.04-x64/publish/myproject

dotnet publish

Description

Réécriture de ASP.NET:

moderne, plus besoin de conserver la compatibilité
léger, l'application ne charge que ce dont elle a besoin (packages MVC, Logging, Identity)
performant
cross platform et open source
MVC et Web API, plus de WebForm
