orleans-movies-test

This repository contains my test project featuring technologies like ASP.NET Core (Web API), Orleans and GraphQL.

Setup

1. Decide which grain storage provider you want to use. By default, "in-memory" storage model is used. However, if you need to create a persistent storage where your data may be stored between runs, you should change storage provider to ADO.NET (see example below):

.UseOrleans((ctx, builder) =>
{
    builder
    .UseAdoNetPersistenceConfiguration(new AppSiloBuilderContext
	{
		AppInfo = appInfo,
		HostBuilderContext = ctx,
		SiloOptions = new AppSiloOptions
		{
			SiloPort = GetAvailablePort(11111, 12000),
			GatewayPort = 30001
		}
	}, new AdoNetPersistenceProviderOptions
	{
		Invariant = "System.Data.SqlClient",
		ConnectionString = "*", // put correct connection string here
		UseJson = true
	})

2. In case ADO.NET storage provider was selected, you will need to execute StorageInitialization.sql script (can be found in "tools" folder).
3. As a final step, you may want to run PopulateStorage.sh script in order to add some sample records in the system.

Debugging

At the moment, two options are available:

1. Standard debugging (running Orleans silo as a part of the web service)
2. WSL2 (providing that you have OS Windows 10+ and Hyper-V installed)

How to use

There are two interfaces available for use:

1. http://localhost:6600/swagger - API front page based on SwaggerUI.
2. http://localhost:6600/ui/playground - interactive in-browser IDE GraphiQL allowing to test GraphQL queries.
