TheFusionWorks.ResourceManager 1.0.1

TheFusionWorks.ResourceManager

TheFusionWorks.ResourceManager is a versatile and extensible NuGet package for managing various types of resources, providing a unified interface for resource CRUD (Create, Read, Update, Delete) operations. It currently supports local file systems and Azure Blob Storage as interchangeable resource managers.

Features

• Unified Interface: Provides a consistent interface for interacting with different types of resource managers.
• Extensible: Easily add support for more types of storage by implementing the IResourceManager and IResource interfaces.
• Seamless Switching: Switching between resource types is as simple as changing the injected dependency, making it easy to switch between different storage backends (e.g., from a local file system to Azure Blob Storage).
• Dependency Injection Friendly: Designed with dependency injection in mind, promoting flexible and modular software architectures.

Installation

To install the package, use the following command in the NuGet Package Manager Console:

Install-Package TheFusionWorks.ResourceManager

Or, use the .NET CLI:

dotnet add package TheFusionWorks.ResourceManager

Quick Start Guide

Interfaces

The package revolves around two main interfaces:

• IResourceManager: Defines the operations for managing resources.
• IResource: Represents a resource that can be managed.

These interfaces abstract the complexity of different storage backends, allowing developers to write code that works with any implemented resource type.

Example Usage

1. Setup Dependency Injection

To get started, simply inject the desired IResourceManager implementation into your service or application.

For example, using Microsoft.Extensions.DependencyInjection:

using Microsoft.Extensions.DependencyInjection;
using TheFusionWorks.ResourceManager;
using TheFusionWorks.ResourceManager.FileSystem;
using TheFusionWorks.ResourceManager.AzureBlobStorage;

var services = new ServiceCollection();

// For local file system management
services.AddScoped<IResourceManager, FileManager>();

// Or, for Azure Blob Storage management
// services.AddScoped<IResourceManager, BlobStorageManager>();

var serviceProvider = services.BuildServiceProvider();

2. Switching Resource Types

Switching from managing resources on a local file system to Azure Blob Storage is as simple as changing the injected implementation:

// Change from FileManager to BlobStorageManager
services.AddScoped<IResourceManager, BlobStorageManager>();

Your application code does not need to change, making it incredibly flexible for different environments and storage backends.

Implementations

FileManager

FileManager is used for managing resources on a local file system. It implements IResourceManager to provide CRUD operations for files, including creating, reading, updating, and deleting.

BlobStorageManager

BlobStorageManager is used for managing resources in Azure Blob Storage. It also implements IResourceManager, enabling the same CRUD operations but for blobs in Azure.

Extending The Package

To extend TheFusionWorks.ResourceManager for additional types of resources, simply create a new class that implements IResourceManager and IResource interfaces. This way, the package can be extended to support new storage backends like Amazon S3, Google Cloud Storage, or even databases.
