Aspire.Elastic.Clients.Elasticsearch 8.2.0-preview.1.24428.5

Aspire.Elastic.Clients.Elasticsearch

Registers a ElasticsearchClient in the DI container for connecting to a Elasticsearch.

Getting started

Prerequisites

• Elasticsearch cluster.
• Endpoint URI string for accessing the Elasticsearch API endpoint or a CloudId and an ApiKey from Elastic Cloud

Install the package

Install the .NET Aspire Elasticsearch Client library with NuGet:

dotnet add package Aspire.Elastic.Clients.Elasticsearch

Usage example

In the Program.cs file of your project, call the AddElasticsearchClient extension method to register a ElasticsearchClient for use via the dependency injection container. The method takes a connection name parameter.

builder.AddElasticsearchClient("elasticsearch");

Configuration

The .NET Aspire Elasticsearch Client component provides multiple options to configure the server connection based on the requirements and conventions of your project.

Use a connection string

When using a connection string from the ConnectionStrings configuration section, you can provide the name of the connection string when calling builder.AddElasticsearchClient():

builder.AddElasticsearchClient("elasticsearch");

And then the connection string will be retrieved from the ConnectionStrings configuration section:

{
  "ConnectionStrings": {
    "elasticsearch": "http://elastic:password@localhost:27011"
  }
}

Use configuration providers

The .NET Aspire Elasticsearch Client component supports Microsoft.Extensions.Configuration. It loads the ElasticClientsElasticsearchSettings from configuration by using the Aspire:Elastic:Clients:Elasticsearch key. Example appsettings.json that configures some of the options:

{
  "Aspire": {
    "Elastic": {
      "Clients": {
        "Elasticsearch": {
            "Endpoint": "http://elastic:password@localhost:27011"
        }
      }
    }
  }
}

Use inline delegates

Also you can pass the Action<ElasticClientsElasticsearchSettings> configureSettings delegate to set up some or all the options inline, for example to set the API key from code:

builder.AddElasticsearchClient("elasticsearch", settings => settings.Endpoint = new Uri("http://elastic:password@localhost:27011"));

AppHost extensions

In your AppHost project, install the Aspire.Hosting.Elasticsearch library with NuGet:

dotnet add package Aspire.Hosting.Elasticsearch

Then, in the Program.cs file of AppHost, register a Elasticsearch cluster and consume the connection using the following methods:

var elasticsearch = builder.AddElasticsearch("elasticsearch");

var myService = builder.AddProject<Projects.MyService>()
                       .WithReference(elasticsearch);

The WithReference method configures a connection in the MyService project named elasticsearch. In the Program.cs file of MyService, the Elasticsearch connection can be consumed using:

builder.AddElasticsearchClient("elasticsearch");

Use a CloudId and an ApiKey with configuration providers

When using Elastic Cloud , you can provide the CloudId and ApiKey in Aspire:Elastic:Clients:Elasticsearch section when calling builder.AddElasticsearchClient(). Example appsettings.json that configures the options:

builder.AddElasticsearchClient("elasticsearch");

{
  "Aspire": {
    "Elastic": {
      "Clients": {
        "Elasticsearch": {
            "ApiKey": "Valid ApiKey",
            "CloudId": "Valid CloudId"
        }
      }
    }
  }
}

Use a CloudId and an ApiKey with inline delegates

builder.AddElasticsearchClient("elasticsearch",
settings => {
    settings.CloudId = "Valid CloudId";
    settings.ApiKey = "Valid ApiKey";
});
