NATS integration

Это содержимое пока не доступно на вашем языке.

NATS is a simple, secure and high-performance open-source messaging system for cloud-native applications, IoT messaging, and microservices architectures. The Aspire NATS integration provides a way to connect to existing NATS instances or create new instances from Aspire with the docker.io/library/nats container image.

Hosting integration

To get started with the Aspire NATS hosting integration, install the Aspire.Hosting.Nats NuGet package in the app host project.

aspire add nats

#:package Aspire.Hosting.Nats@*

<PackageReference Include="Aspire.Hosting.Nats" Version="*" />

Add NATS resource

In your app host project, register and consume a NATS server integration using the AddNats extension method to add the NATS server resource to the builder:

var builder = DistributedApplication.CreateBuilder(args);

var nats = builder.AddNats("nats");

builder.AddProject<Projects.ExampleProject>()
       .WithReference(nats);

// After adding all resources, run the app...

Add NATS with JetStream

To add NATS with JetStream enabled, which provides streaming capabilities, use the WithJetStream extension method:

var builder = DistributedApplication.CreateBuilder(args);

var nats = builder.AddNats("nats")
                  .WithJetStream();

builder.AddProject<Projects.ExampleProject>()
       .WithReference(nats);

Data persistence

To add data volumes for persisting NATS data, call the WithDataVolume method:

var builder = DistributedApplication.CreateBuilder(args);

var nats = builder.AddNats("nats")
                  .WithJetStream()
                  .WithDataVolume();

builder.AddProject<Projects.ExampleProject>()
       .WithReference(nats);

The data volume is used to persist the NATS data outside the lifecycle of the container.

For development scenarios, you may want to use bind mounts instead of data volumes. To add a data bind mount, call the WithDataBindMount method:

var builder = DistributedApplication.CreateBuilder(args);

var nats = builder.AddNats("nats")
                  .WithJetStream()
                  .WithDataBindMount(source: @"C:\Nats\Data");

builder.AddProject<Projects.ExampleProject>()
       .WithReference(nats);

Add NATS with authentication

To add NATS with username and password authentication, use the WithNatsUser and WithNatsPassword parameters:

var builder = DistributedApplication.CreateBuilder(args);

var nats = builder.AddNats("nats", userName: "nats", password: "pass");

builder.AddProject<Projects.ExampleProject>()
       .WithReference(nats);

Connection properties

When you reference a NATS resource using WithReference, the following connection properties are made available to the consuming project:

NATS server

The NATS server resource exposes the following connection properties:

Property Name	Description
`Host`	The hostname or IP address of the NATS server
`Port`	The port number the NATS server is listening on
`Username`	The username for authentication
`Password`	The password for authentication
`Uri`	The connection URI with the format `nats://{Username}:{Password}@{Host}:{Port}`

Example connection string:

Uri: nats://admin:p%40ssw0rd1@localhost:4222

Client integration

To get started with the Aspire NATS client integration, install the Aspire.NATS.Net NuGet package in the consuming client project:

dotnet add package Aspire.NATS.Net

#:package Aspire.NATS.Net@*

<PackageReference Include="Aspire.NATS.Net" Version="*" />

Add NATS client API

In the Program.cs file of your client-consuming project, call the AddNatsClient extension method to register an INatsConnection for use through dependency injection. The method takes a connection name parameter:

builder.AddNatsClient(connectionName: "nats");

You can then retrieve the INatsConnection instance using dependency injection. For example, to retrieve the connection object from an example service:

public class ExampleService(INatsConnection connection)
{
    // Use connection...
}

Add keyed NATS client API

There might be situations where you want to register multiple INatsConnection instances with different connection names. To register keyed NATS clients, call the AddKeyedNatsClient method:

builder.AddKeyedNatsClient(name: "products");
builder.AddKeyedNatsClient(name: "orders");

Then you can retrieve the INatsConnection instances using dependency injection. For example, to retrieve the connection from an example service:

public class ExampleService(
    [FromKeyedServices("products")] INatsConnection productsConnection,
    [FromKeyedServices("orders")] INatsConnection ordersConnection)
{
    // Use connections...
}

For more information on keyed services, see .NET dependency injection: Keyed services.

Configuration

The Aspire NATS client integration provides multiple configuration approaches. You can provide configuration using appsettings.json, configuration keys, or inline code.

Use configuration providers

The Aspire NATS client integration supports Microsoft.Extensions.Configuration. It loads the NatsClientSettings from configuration using the Aspire:Nats:Client key:

{
  "Aspire": {
    "Nats": {
      "Client": {
        "ConnectionString": "nats://localhost:4222",
        "DisableHealthChecks": false,
        "DisableTracing": false
      }
    }
  }
}

For the complete NATS client integration JSON schema, see Aspire.NATS.Net/ConfigurationSchema.json.

Use inline delegates

You can also pass the Action<NatsClientSettings> delegate to set up some or all the options inline:

builder.AddNatsClient(
    "nats",
    static settings => settings.DisableHealthChecks = true);

Health checks

By default, the Aspire NATS integration handles health checks using the AspNetCore.HealthChecks.Nats package. This integration registers a health check that verifies the connection to the NATS server.

The NATS client integration registers a health check using the connection name. The health check verifies that the connection is active and can be used to send and receive messages.

Observability and telemetry

Tracing

The Aspire NATS integration emits tracing activities using OpenTelemetry. The integration automatically enables tracing for NATS operations.

The following are the tracing activities emitted by NATS components:

“NATS”: Emitted by NatsConnection.
“NATS.Net”: Emitted by the NATS .NET client library.

For more information about tracing activities, see NATS .NET client library: OpenTelemetry support.
