Tapioca.HATEOAS

This project will no longer be maintained, use the Erudio.HATEOAS package as a replacement!

This is a smart library to implements HATEOAS pattern in your RESTFul API's, implemented based in this project.

How to use

1 - Import Tapioca.HATEOAS to your projetct

Import with command line

Install-Package Tapioca.HATEOAS -Version 1.0.15

Import with nuget package manager

2 - Implements ISupportsHyperMedia in your exposed object.

namespace RESTFulSampleServer.Data.VO
{
    public class BookVO : ISupportsHyperMedia
    {
        public long? Id { get; set; }
        public string Title { get; set; }
        public string Author { get; set; }
        public decimal Price { get; set; }
        public DateTime LaunchDate { get; set; }

        public List<HyperMediaLink> Links { get; set; } = new List<HyperMediaLink>();
    }
}

3 - Implements your enricher with ContentResponseEnricher.

namespace RESTFulSampleServer.HyperMedia.Enricher
{
    public class BookEnricher : ContentResponseEnricher<BookVO>
    {
        protected override Task EnrichModel(BookVO content, IUrlHelper urlHelper)
        {
            var path = "api/book";
            string link = GetLink(content.Id, urlHelper, path);

            content.Links.Add(new HyperMediaLink()
            {
                Action = HttpActionVerb.GET,
                Href = link,
                Rel = RelationType.self,
                Type = ResponseTypeFormat.DefaultGet
            });
            content.Links.Add(new HyperMediaLink()
            {
                Action = HttpActionVerb.POST,
                Href = link,
                Rel = RelationType.self,
                Type = ResponseTypeFormat.DefaultPost
            });
            content.Links.Add(new HyperMediaLink()
            {
                Action = HttpActionVerb.PUT,
                Href = link,
                Rel = RelationType.self,
                Type = ResponseTypeFormat.DefaultPut
            });
            content.Links.Add(new HyperMediaLink()
            {
                Action = HttpActionVerb.DELETE,
                Href = link,
                Rel = RelationType.self,
                Type = "int"
            });
            return Task.CompletedTask;
        }

        private string GetLink(long id, IUrlHelper urlHelper, string path)
        {
            lock (this)
            {
                var url = new { controller = path, id };
                return new StringBuilder(urlHelper.Link("DefaultApi", url)).Replace("%2F", "/").ToString();
            };
        }
    }
}

4 - Add annotation [TypeFilter(typeof(HyperMediaFilter))] to your controller methods.

namespace RESTFulSampleServer.Controllers
{

    [ApiVersion("1")]
    [ApiController]
    [Authorize("Bearer")]
    [Route("api/[controller]/v{version:apiVersion}")]
    public class BookController : ControllerBase
    {

        private readonly ILogger<BookController> _logger;

        private IBookBusiness _bookBusiness;

        public BookController(ILogger<BookController> logger, IBookBusiness bookBusiness)
        {
            _logger = logger;
            _bookBusiness = bookBusiness;
        }

        [HttpGet]
        [ProducesResponseType((200), Type = typeof(List<BookVO>))]
        [ProducesResponseType(204)]
        [ProducesResponseType(400)]
        [ProducesResponseType(401)]
		
		// Adds HyperMedia filter
        [TypeFilter(typeof(HyperMediaFilter))]
        public IActionResult Get()
        {
            return Ok(_bookBusiness.FindAll());
        }

        [HttpGet("{id}")]
        [ProducesResponseType((200), Type = typeof(BookVO))]
        [ProducesResponseType(204)]
        [ProducesResponseType(400)]
        [ProducesResponseType(401)]
		
		// Adds HyperMedia filter
        [TypeFilter(typeof(HyperMediaFilter))]
        public IActionResult Get(long id)
        {
            var book = _bookBusiness.FindByID(id);
            if (book == null) return NotFound();
            return Ok(book);
        }

        [HttpPost]
        [ProducesResponseType((200), Type = typeof(BookVO))]
        [ProducesResponseType(400)]
        [ProducesResponseType(401)]
		
		// Adds HyperMedia filter
        [TypeFilter(typeof(HyperMediaFilter))]
        public IActionResult Post([FromBody] BookVO book)
        {
            if (book == null) return BadRequest();
            return Ok(_bookBusiness.Create(book));
        }

        [HttpPut]
        [ProducesResponseType((200), Type = typeof(BookVO))]
        [ProducesResponseType(400)]
        [ProducesResponseType(401)]
		
		// Adds HyperMedia filter
        [TypeFilter(typeof(HyperMediaFilter))]
        public IActionResult Put([FromBody] BookVO book)
        {
            if (book == null) return BadRequest();
            return Ok(_bookBusiness.Update(book));
        }

        [HttpDelete("{id}")]
        [ProducesResponseType(204)]
        [ProducesResponseType(400)]
        [ProducesResponseType(401)]
        public IActionResult Delete(long id)
        {
            _bookBusiness.Delete(id);
            return NoContent();
        }
    }
}

5 - Add HyperMediaFilterOptions to your Program.cs.

	var filterOptions = new HyperMediaFilterOptions();
	filterOptions.ContentResponseEnricherList.Add(new PersonEnricher());
	filterOptions.ContentResponseEnricherList.Add(new BookEnricher());

6 - Add a MapControllerRoute to your route like was defined in your enricher.

	app.MapControllers();
	* app.MapControllerRoute("DefaultApi", "{controller=values}/v{version=apiVersion}/{id?}"); *

	app.Run();

7 - Enjoy
