An overview Viewing from 10.000 feet
ASP.NET components MVC 6 Unified Web Stack
Characteristics of MVC 6 •One set of concepts – remove duplication •Web UI and APIs combined •Smooth transition from Web Pages to MVC Unified •Run on IIS or self-host or cross-platform •Based on new request pipeline in ASP.NET 5 •Runs in cloud-optimized Core CLR Built on top of ASP.NET 5 •Pay as you use •Middleware •Built with Dependency Injection first Modular Getting familiar
.NET Framework vNext Full .NET CLR • Entire API set in machine wide install at 200 MB • Updated with OS • Ecosystem of existing packages • Backward compatibility • Default for Visual Studio 2015 projects Cloud Optimized CLR • Lean and modular runtime • Optimized for server • Small memory footprint • Libraries in NuGet packages • Framework deployed with app • Different versions can run side-by-side • 11 MB Mono • Cross-Platform runtime for Linux and Mac OS X • Together with Mono community Standing on the shoulders of a new giant ASP.NET 5.0 ASP.NET 5.0 ASP.NET 5.0
Getting started • Middleware model introduced by OWIN Ready, set, start – a lap around MVC 6
Middleware conceptually • Middleware stack • Static files • Security, authentication, CORS • Diagnostics, logging • Other cross-cutting concerns Host process and server Application and framework RequestDelegate delegate Task RequestDelegate(HttpContext context);
public void Configure(IApplicationBuilder app) { app.Map("/Nancy", builder => { builder.UseRuntimeInfo(); builder.RunNancyFx(); }); app.UseCors(); app.UseMvc(cfg); Use, Map and Run app.UseErrorPage(); Application FX Middleware
Controllers • Single base class for MVC and Web API • Not required • POCO Controllers • No base class • Combine Web API and MVC in 1 class • UI and REST endpoints at one base URI Not your typical gaming gear
Dependency Injection It all depends
Dependency Injection • DI is core part of runtime • Built-in DI for configuration and services – Default lightweight version available • Wire up your own favorite IoC container ... – Autofac, Ninject, StructureMap, Unity, Castle Windsor public void ConfigureServices(IServiceCollection services) { // Add EF services to the services container. services.AddEntityFramework(Configuration) .AddSqlServer() .AddDbContext<ApplicationDbContext>();
Built-in DI Container • Register mappings in ConfigureServices of Startup • Default registrations • Lifetimes – Transient – Scoped – Singleton – Instance • Rules for registering mapping – First one wins – Allows you to get ahead off default mappings Sometimes better is worse than good enough
Activation Activation method Example Constructor on classes MyController(ILog logger) Attribute on field or property [Activate] ILog Logger { get;set; } Attribute in action [FromServices] ILog logger Directive in Razor page ILog logger Inject those objects @inject
Tag Helpers • Allow server-side code to participate in rendering of HTML elements in Razor files • Target HTML elements based on element and attribute names • Reduce explicit transitions between HTML and C# • Take advantage of composition and tooling benefits in Visual Studio Code and 2015 Getting some help in Razor
Custom Tag Helpers namespace TechDays.TagHelpers { [TargetElement("datumtijd")] public class DateTimeTagHelper : TagHelper { public override void Process(TagHelperContext context, TagHelperOutput output) { output.Content.SetContent(DateTime.Now.ToString()); } } } // Inside Razor .cshtml file @addTagHelper "*, TechDays.TagHelpers"
Routing • Familiar MVC 5 attribute based routing • Enabled by default • Special tokens: [controller] and [action] Show me the way [Route("api/Hello")] public class HelloController : Controller { [Route] public string Get() { return "hello"; } } [Route("api/[controller]")] public class HelloController : Controller { [Route] public string Get() { return "hello"; } }
View components • Comparable to Web Forms’ UserControls • Different from Partial Views • Combines code and view as logical unit User controls in MVC style
Logging • Pluggable logging infrastructure provided • ILoggerFactory • Logging levels – from Debug up to Criticial
Summary • Unified programming model • Built on ASP.NET 5 • Learn Dependency Injection • Command-line vs. Visual Studio Key takeaways from ASP.NET MVC 6
