NuGet package reverse dependency

[bruno-garcia]

Last day of vacation so a quick hack:

http://localhost:5002/api/package/dependant/newtonsoft.json

And:
Filter by Version range:

No range filter, but include version/target framework in result:

http://localhost:5002/api/package/dependant/newtonsoft.json/version

The 'filter by version range' evaluates in memory so likely will not work (OOM?) with all dataset for big packages.

The IAsyncEnumerable approach used for the package Ids endpoint doesn't work with large number of dependencies.

It fails with:

System.InvalidOperationException

'AsyncEnumerableReader' reached the configured maximum size of the buffer when enumerating a value of type 'Microsoft.EntityFrameworkCore.Query.Internal.EntityQueryable`1[System.String]'. This limit is in place to prevent infinite streams of 'IAsyncEnumerable<>' from continuing indefinitely. If this is not a programming mistake, consider ways to reduce the collection size, or consider manually converting 'Microsoft.EntityFrameworkCore.Query.Internal.EntityQueryable`1[System.String]' into a list rather than increasing the limit.

Reason is System.Text.Json doesn't serialize the IAsyncEnumerable in a streaming manner.

See: dotnet/runtime#1570

Folks at Microsoft are building this into nuget.org
Since this works but it doesn't scale and is slow on big dependencies, we'll just close it.
