Community.Microsoft.Extensions.Caching.PostgreSql 4.0.2

Community.Microsoft.Extensions.Caching.PostgreSQL

Description

This implemantation uses PostgreSQL 11+ as distributed cache. Version 4 and up.

For PostgreSQL ⇐ 10

Use older versions of this packages (<= 3.1.2)

Getting Started

1. Install the package into your project

dotnet add package Community.Microsoft.Extensions.Caching.PostgreSql

2. Add the following line to the Startup Configure method.

services.AddDistributedPostgreSqlCache(setup =>
{
    setup.ConnectionString = configuration["ConnectionString"];
    setup.SchemaName = configuration["SchemaName"];
    setup.TableName = configuration["TableName"];
    setup.DisableRemoveExpired = configuration["DisableRemoveExpired"];
    // Optional - DisableRemoveExpired default is FALSE
    setup.CreateInfrastructure = configuration["CreateInfrastructure"];
    // CreateInfrastructure is optional, default is TRUE
    // This means que every time starts the application the
    // creation of table and database functions will be verified.
    setup.ExpiredItemsDeletionInterval = TimeSpan.FromMinutes(30)
    // ExpiredItemsDeletionInterval is optional
    // This is the periodic interval to scan and delete expired items in the cache. Default is 30 minutes.
    // Minimum allowed is 5 minutes. - If you need less than this please share your use case 😁, just for curiosity...
})

DisableRemoveExpired = True use case:

When you have 2 or more instances/microservices/processes and you just to leave one of them removing expired items.

• Note 1: This is not mandatory, see if it fits in you cenario.
• Note 2: If you have only one instance and set to True, all the expired items will not be auto-removed, when you call GetItem those expired items are filtred out. In that case you are responsable to manually remove the expired key or update it

3. Then pull from DI like any other service

    /// this is extracted from the React+WebApi WebSample

    private readonly IDistributedCache _cache;

    public WeatherForecastController(IDistributedCache cache)
    {
        _cache = cache;
    }

What it does to my database 🐘:

It creates a table & schema for storing cache (names are configurable)

Runing the console sample

You will need a local postgresql server with this configuration:

1. Server listening to port 5432 at localhost
2. The password of your postgres account, if not attached already to your user.
3. Clone this repo.
4. Run the following commands inside PostgreSqlCacheSample:

dotnet restore
prepare-database.cmd -create
dotnet run

Runing the React+WebApi WebSample project

You will need a local postgresql server with this configuration:

1. Server listening to port 5432 at localhost
2. The password of your postgres account, if not attached already to your user.
3. You also need npm and node installed on your dev machine
4. Clone this repo.
5. Run the following commands inside WebSample:

dotnet restore
prepare-database.cmd -create
dotnet run

It takes some time to npm retore the packages, grab a ☕ while waiting...

Then you can delete the database with:

prepare-database.cmd -erase
