CommunityToolkit.Hosting.Azure.DataApiBuilder

Overview

This .NET Aspire Integration runs Data API builder in a container. Data API builder generates secure, feature-rich REST and GraphQL endpoints for Tables, Views and Stored Procedures performing CRUD (Create, Read, Update, Delete, Execute) operations against Azure SQL Database, SQL Server, PostgreSQL, MySQL and Azure CosmosDB.

Usage

Example 1: Single data source

var builder = DistributedApplication.CreateBuilder(args);

var sqlDatabase = builder
    .AddSqlServer("your-server-name")
    .AddDatabase("your-database-name");

var dab = builder.AddDataAPIBuilder("dab")
    .WithReference(sqlDatabase)
    .WaitFor(sqlDatabase);

var app = builder
    .AddProject<Projects.Client>()
    .WithReference(dab);

builder.Build().Run();

Example 2: Multiple data sources

var builder = DistributedApplication.CreateBuilder(args);

var sqlDatabase1 = builder
    .AddSqlServer("your-server-name")
    .AddDatabase("your-database-name");

var sqlDatabase2 = builder
    .AddSqlServer("your-server-name")
    .AddDatabase("your-database-name");

var dab = builder.AddDataAPIBuilder("dab", 
        "./dab-config-1.json", 
        "./dab-config-2.json")
    .WithReference(sqlDatabase1)
    .WithReference(sqlDatabase2)
    .WaitFor(sqlDatabase1)
    .WaitFor(sqlDatabase2);

var app = builder
    .AddProject<Projects.Client>()
    .WithReference(dab);

builder.Build().Run();

Note: All files are mounted/copied to the same /App folder.

Example 3: Cosmos DB and a schema file

var builder = DistributedApplication.CreateBuilder(args);

var cosmosdb = builder
    .AddAzureCosmosDB("myNewCosmosAccountName")
    .AddDatabase("myCosmosDatabaseName");

var dab = builder.AddDataAPIBuilder("dab",
        "./dab-config.json",
        "./schema.graphql")
    .WithReference(cosmosdb)
    .WaitFor(cosmosdb);

var app = builder
    .AddProject<Projects.Client>()
    .WithReference(dab);

builder.Build().Run();

Example 4: Connection string-only

var builder = DistributedApplication.CreateBuilder(args);

var sqlDatabase = builder
    .AddConnectionString("your-cs-name");

var dab = builder.AddDataAPIBuilder("dab")
    .WithReference(sqlDatabase);

var app = builder
    .AddProject<Projects.Client>()
    .WithReference(dab);

builder.Build().Run();

Configuration

• name - The name of the resource.
• port - The optional port number for the Data API builder container. Defaults to random.
• configFilePaths - Opiotnal paths to the config/schema file(s) for Data API builder. Default is ./dab-config.json.

Data API builder Container Image Configuration

You can specify custom registry/image/tag values by using the WithImageRegistry/WithImage/WithImageTag methods:

var dab = builder.AddDataAPIBuilder("dab")
    .WithImageRegistry("mcr.microsoft.com")
    .WithImage("azure-databases/data-api-builder")
    .WithImageTag("latest");

Known Issues

The current imlpementation of the Data API builder .NET Aspire integration does not support HTTPS endpoints. However, this is only a dev-time consideration. Service discovery when published can use HTTPS without any problems.
