Return exceptions as problem details response

By default exceptions are returned in plain text.
With the problem details service it returns now a problem details response.
In case of exception the media type returned is application/problem+json which is not handled by default on the client side.
Program.cs 
//builder.Services.AddControllers();
builder.Services.AddProblemDetails();

//var app = builder.Build();

app.UseExceptionHandler();
app.UseStatusCodePages();


if (app.Environment.IsDevelopment())
{
    app.UseDeveloperExceptionPage();
}

//app.MapControllers();
//app.Run();

OLD Exception handler

Program.cs 
//var app = builder.Build();

if (app.Environment.IsDevelopment())
{
    app.UseExceptionHandler("/error-development");
}
else
{
    app.UseExceptionHandler("/error");
}

//app.UseAuthorization();
Controllers/ErrorController.cs 
[ApiController]
public class ErrorController : ControllerBase
{
    [Route("/error")]
    [ApiExplorerSettings(IgnoreApi = true)]
    public IActionResult HandleError() => Problem();

    [Route("/error-development")]
    [ApiExplorerSettings(IgnoreApi = true)]
    public IActionResult HandleErrorDevelopment([FromServices] IHostEnvironment hostEnvironment)
    {
        if (!hostEnvironment.IsDevelopment())
        {
            return NotFound();
        }

        var exceptionHandlerFeature = HttpContext.Features.Get<IExceptionHandlerFeature>()!;

        return Problem(
            detail: exceptionHandlerFeature.Error.StackTrace,
            title: GetFinalInnerException(exceptionHandlerFeature.Error).Message);

        static Exception GetFinalInnerException(Exception exception)
            => exception.InnerException is null ? exception : GetFinalInnerException(exception.InnerException);
    }
}

Handle application/problem+json on the client side

Clients/ItemClient.cs 
private static IEnumerable<MediaTypeFormatter> problemJsonMediaTypeFormatters
    => new MediaTypeFormatter[1] { new ProblemJsonMediaTypeFormatter() };

var response = await httpClient.GetAsync(uri, cancellationToken);
if (response.StatusCode == System.Net.HttpStatusCode.BadRequest)
{
    var validationProblemDetails =
        await response.Content.ReadAsAsync<ValidationProblemDetails>(
            problemJsonMediaTypeFormatters, cancellationToken);
MediaTypeFormatters/ProblemJsonMediaTypeFormatter.cs 
public class ProblemJsonMediaTypeFormatter : JsonMediaTypeFormatter
{
    private static readonly MediaTypeHeaderValue problemJsonMediaType = new("application/problem+json");

    public ProblemJsonMediaTypeFormatter()
    {
        SupportedMediaTypes.Add(problemJsonMediaType);
    }
}

Fluent Validation

Bash.svg 
dotnet add package FluentValidation.AspNetCore

            .MinimumLength(3)
            .Unless(x => string.IsNullOrEmpty(x.Description)); // empty or min lenght 3

Health check

Program.cs 
//var builder = WebApplication.CreateBuilder(args);

builder.Services
    .AddHealthChecks()
    .AddDbContextCheck<MyAppContext>(); // add Microsoft.Extensions.Diagnostics.HealthChecks.EntityFrameworkCore package

//var app = builder.Build();

CORS

Programs.cs

// allow all origins
app.UseCors(x => x.SetIsOriginAllowed(origin => true));
// allow https://localhost:4200
app.UseCors(x => x.WithOrigins("https://localhost:4200"));

URL with kebab case

Dependency Injection

Typed clients are transient objects usually injected into services.
They are expected to be short-lived.
If a typed client instance is captured in a singleton, it may prevent it from reacting to DNS changes, defeating one of the purposes of IHttpClientFactory.

Program.cs 
services
    .AddHttpClient<IMyClient, MyClient>(x =>
    {
        x.DefaultRequestHeaders.Authorization = // AuthenticationHeaderValue see below

        x.BaseAddress = new Uri("https://www.address.net");
        x.DefaultRequestHeaders.UserAgent.ParseAdd("my-app");
        x.Timeout = TimeSpan.FromSeconds(100); // default 100s
    })
    .ConfigurePrimaryHttpMessageHandler(() => new HttpClientHandler
    {
        Proxy = new WebProxy
        {
            Address = new Uri($"http://localhost:9000"),
            BypassProxyOnLocal = false,
            UseDefaultCredentials = false,
        },
    });

Query Strings

Url: http://localhost:80/api/items?ids=1,2&retrieveDeleted=true

ItemClient.cs 
var ids = new[] { 1, 2 };
var retrieveDeleted = true;

var queryBuilder = new QueryBuilder();
queryBuilder.Add(nameof(ids), string.Join(",", ids));
queryBuilder.Add(nameof(retrieveDeleted), retrieveDeleted.ToString());

var uri = new Uri($"{Path}{queryBuilder.ToQueryString()}", UriKind.Relative);

var response = await this.httpClient.GetAsync(uri);
ItemController.cs 
[HttpGet]
public IActionResult Get([FromQuery] IReadOnlyCollection<int> ids, [FromQuery] bool retrieveDeleted = false)
{ }
// FromQuery is required for IReadOnlyCollection<int> to avoid having 415 Unsupported Media Type

Pagination

ItemQuery.cs 
public class ItemQuery
{
    public string Name { get; set; }
    public int PageIndex { get; set; }
    public int PageSize { get; set; }
}
ItemClient.cs 
public async Task<IReadOnlyCollection<ItemDto>> GetAsync()

UseStatusCodePagesWithReExecute

Startup.cs 
public void Configure(IApplicationBuilder app, IHostingEnvironment env)
{
    app.UseStatusCodePagesWithReExecute("/error/{0}");
    app.UseExceptionHandler("/error/500");

    app.UseMvc();
Cs.svg 
[HttpGet("/error/{code:int}")]
public string Error(int code)

}

The Operation Result Pattern

OperationResult.cs 
public sealed class OperationResult<TResult, TError>
{
    public TResult Result { get; }
    public TError Error { get; }
    public bool Success => Error == null;

    public OperationResult(TResult result)
    {
        Result = result;
    }

    public OperationResult(TError error)
    {
        Error = error;
    }
}
Csharp.svg 
OperationResult<MyDto, MyError> result;

if (/*...*/)
{
    result = new OperationResult<MyDto, MyError>(myError);
}
else
{
    result = new OperationResult<MyDto, MyError>(myDto);
}

return result;

JSON name mapping

Cs.svg 
[JsonPropertyName("otherName")]
public string Property1 { get; set; }

JSON serialization: Newtonsoft.Json vs System.Text.Json

By default .NET Core 3.0 uses System.Text.Json.

Use Newtonsoft.Json

Bash.svg 
dotnet add package Microsoft.AspNetCore.Mvc.NewtonsoftJson
Startup.cs 
public void ConfigureServices(IServiceCollection services)
{
    services.AddControllers();
            .AddNewtonsoftJson();

Model Binding

Program.cs 
builder.Services.AddControllers(options =>
{
    options.ModelBinderProviders.Insert(0, new CommaSeparatedModelBinderProvider());
});
CommaSeparatedModelBinderProvider.cs 
public class CommaSeparatedModelBinderProvider : IModelBinderProvider
{
    public IModelBinder? GetBinder(ModelBinderProviderContext context)
    {
        ArgumentNullException.ThrowIfNull(context);

        if (context.Metadata.ModelType.GetInterface(nameof(IEnumerable)) != null
            && context.Metadata.ModelType != typeof(string))
        {
            return new BinderTypeModelBinder(typeof(CommaSeparatedModelBinder));
        }

        return null;
    }
}
CommaSeparatedModelBinder.cs 
public class CommaSeparatedModelBinder : IModelBinder
{
    private static readonly MethodInfo ToArrayMethod = typeof(Enumerable).GetMethod("ToArray")!;

    public Task BindModelAsync(ModelBindingContext bindingContext)
    {
        ArgumentNullException.ThrowIfNull(bindingContext);

        var modelType = bindingContext.ModelType;
        var modelName = bindingContext.ModelName;

        var valueType = modelType.GetElementType() ?? modelType.GetGenericArguments().FirstOrDefault();

        if (modelType.GetInterface(nameof(IEnumerable)) != null
            && valueType != null
            && valueType.GetInterface(nameof(IConvertible)) != null)
        {
            var valueProviderResult = bindingContext.ValueProvider.GetValue(modelName);

            if (valueProviderResult == ValueProviderResult.None)
            {
                return Task.CompletedTask;
            }

            bindingContext.ModelState.SetModelValue(modelName, valueProviderResult);

            var value = valueProviderResult.FirstValue;

            // Check if the argument value is null or empty
            if (string.IsNullOrEmpty(value))
            {
                return Task.CompletedTask;
            }

            var list = (IList?)Activator.CreateInstance(typeof(List<>).MakeGenericType(valueType));
            if (list is not null)
            {
                foreach (var splitValue in value.Split(commaSeparator))
                {
                    if (!string.IsNullOrWhiteSpace(splitValue))
                    {
                        list.Add(Convert.ChangeType(splitValue, valueType));
                    }
                }
            }

            var model = modelType.IsArray
                ? ToArrayMethod.MakeGenericMethod(valueType).Invoke(this, new[] { list })
                : list;

            bindingContext.Result = ModelBindingResult.Success(model);
        }

        return Task.CompletedTask;
    }
}

Handle files

FileClient.cs 
await using var stream = System.IO.File.OpenRead("/path/MyFile.txt");
using var content = new MultipartFormDataContent
{
    { new StreamContent(stream), "file", "MyFile.txt" }
};

var response = await HttpClient.PostAsync(uri, content, cancellationToken);
FileController.cs 
[HttpPost]
public async Task<IActionResult> ImportAsync(
    [FromForm] IFormFile file,
    CancellationToken cancellationToken)
{
    using var memoryStream = new MemoryStream();
    await file.CopyToAsync(memoryStream, cancellationToken);

    byte[] b = memoryStream.ToArray();
}

Log

Add trace level for HttpClient, so you will get url and headers.

appsettings.json 
{
  "Logging": {
    "LogLevel": {
      "System.Net.Http.HttpClient": "Trace"
    }
  }
}

Request timeouts middleware

To test in Visual Studio, run without the debugger.
TaskController.cs 
[ApiController]
[Route("[controller]")]
public class TaskController : ControllerBase
{
    [HttpPost("run")]
    [RequestTimeout(1000)] // 1000 ms
    [RequestTimeout("OneSecondPolicy")]
    public async Task RunTaskAsync(CancellationToken cancellationToken)
    {
        await Task.Delay(2000, cancellationToken);
    }
}
Program.cs 
builder.Services.AddRequestTimeouts();

builder.Services.AddRequestTimeouts(options => {
    options.DefaultPolicy = new RequestTimeoutPolicy { Timeout = TimeSpan.FromMilliseconds(1000) }; // default policy
    options.AddPolicy("OneSecondPolicy", TimeSpan.FromSeconds(1)); // named policy
});

app.UseRequestTimeouts();

Erreurs

Unsupported Media Type with Postman

  • Body → raw = json à envoyer
  • Headers → Content-Type = application/json

JsonSerializationException: Self referencing loop detected for property 'xxx' ...

Startup.cs 
services.AddMvc()
    // ignorer les références circulaires entre objets dans EF pour JSON
    .AddJsonOptions(opt => opt.SerializerSettings.ReferenceLoopHandling = ReferenceLoopHandling.Ignore);

SqlException: Cannot insert explicit value for identity column in table 'xxx' when IDENTITY_INSERT is set to OFF

Impossible de sauvegarder les changements si une entité a été insérée avec une valeur ≠ default dans une propriété bindée avec une colonne Identity.
Solution: forcer la valeur de cette propriété a default. La bdd mettra la valeur de la propriété a jour après avoir inséré l'entité.
