For older dotnet versions, use lib version < 5.x

Installing Package

Nuget package is published on nuget.org and can be installed in the following ways :

Nuget Package Manager

Install-Package dotnet-etcd

.NET CLI

dotnet add package dotnet-etcd

Paket CLI

paket add dotnet-etcd

The NuGet Team does not provide support for this client. Please contact its maintainers for support.

Usage :

Add using statement at the top of your class file

    using dotnet_etcd;

Client Initialization

    EtcdClient client = new EtcdClient("host1:port1:,...., hostN:portN");
    // E.g.
    EtcdClient etcdClient = new EtcdClient("https://localhost:23790,https://localhost:23791,https://localhost:23792");

Client With user and password

    EtcdClient client = new EtcdClient("https://localhost:23790");
    var authRes = client.Authenticate(new Etcdserverpb.AuthenticateRequest()
    {
        Name = "name",
        Password = "password",
    });
    //  Put key "foo/bar" with value "foobar" with authenticated token
    client.Put("foo/bar", "barfoo", new Grpc.Core.Metadata() {
        new Grpc.Core.Metadata.Entry("token",authRes.Token)
    });

Available Constructor Parameters

• handler - Http Handler that can be used by the underlying grpc client. This can be used for variouse use cases, for e.g. configuring client certifcates . Default : null
• ssl - Bool depicting whether to configure a secure or unsecure connection. Default : false.
• useLegacyRpcExceptionForCancellation - Bool setting to revert task cancellations back to throwing gRPC's RpcException with a StatusCode=Cancelled. The default behavior now is to throw an OperationCanceledException, which integrates better with .net Tasks. Default : false.

Operations

A lot of methods have been implemented using etcd's default input/output parameters. I am simplifying a lot of methods by including more overloads as I come across use cases. If you have some, please feel free to raise and issue or a PR 😃

Key-Value Operations

Put a key

    client.Put(<KEY_STRING>,<VALUE_STRING>);
    // E.g Put key "foo/bar" with value "foobar"
    client.Put("foo/bar","barfoo");

    await client.PutAsync(<KEY_STRING>,<VALUE_STRING>);
    // E.g Put key "foo/bar" with value "foobar" in async
    await client.PutAsync("foo/bar","barfoo");

Get a key

    client.GetVal(<KEY_STRING>);
    // E.g Get key "foo/bar"
    client.GetVal("foo/bar");
    // To get full etcd response
    client.Get("foo/bar");

    await client.GetValAsync(<KEY_STRING>);
    // E.g. Get key "foo/bar" in async
    await client.GetValAsync("foo/bar");
    // To get full etcd response
    await client.GetAsync("foo/bar");

Get multiple keys with a common prefix

    client.GetRange(<PREFIX_STRING>);
    // E.g. Get all keys with pattern "foo/*"
    client.GetRange("foo/"); 

    await client.GetRangeAsync(<PREFIX_STRING>);
    // E.g. Get all keys with pattern "foo/*" in async
    await client.GetRangeAsync("foo/");

    // E.g. Get all keys
    await client.GetRangeAsync("");

Delete a key

    client.Delete(<KEY_STRING>);
    // E.g. Delete key "foo/bar"
    client.Delete("foo/bar");

    await client.DeleteAsync(<KEY_STRING>);
    // E.g. Delete key "foo/bar" in async
    await client.DeleteAsync("foo/bar");

Delete multiple keys with a common prefix

    client.DeleteRange(<PREFIX_STRING>);
    // E.g. Delete all keys with pattern "foo/*"
    client.DeleteRange("foo/"); 

    await client.DeleteRangeAsync(<PREFIX_STRING>);
    // E.g. Delete all keys with pattern "foo/*" in async
    await client.DeleteRangeAsync("foo/");

Watch Operations

Watch a key

    WatchRequest request = new WatchRequest()
    {
        CreateRequest = new WatchCreateRequest()
        {
            Key = ByteString.CopyFromUtf8("foo")
        }
    };
    etcdClient.Watch(request, print);

    // -------------------------------
    // Print function that prints key and value from the watch response
    private static void print(WatchResponse response)
    {   
        if (response.Events.Count == 0)
        {
            Console.WriteLine(response);
        }
        else
        {
            Console.WriteLine($"{response.Events[0].Kv.Key.ToStringUtf8()}:{response.Events .Kv.Value.ToStringUtf8()}");
        }
    }

    // ----------------------------------
    // Print function that prints key and value from the minimal watch
    // response data 
    private static void print(WatchEvent[] response)
    {
        foreach(WatchEvent e1 in response)
        {
            Console.WriteLine($"{e1.Key}:{e1.Value}:{e1.Type}");
        }
    }

Watch also has a simple overload as follows

    etcdClient.Watch("foo", print);

More overloads are also available. You can check them using IntelliSense (Ctrl+Shift+Space). Detailed documentation coming soon.

Cluster Operations

Add a member into the cluster

     MemberAddRequest request = new MemberAddRequest();
     request.PeerURLs.Add("http://example.com:2380");
     request.PeerURLs.Add("http://10.0.0.1:2380");
     MemberAddResponse res = etcdClient.MemberAdd(request);

     // Async
     MemberAddResponse res = await etcdClient.MemberAddAsync(request);

     // Do something with response

Remove an existing member from the cluster

    MemberRemoveRequest request = new MemberRemoveRequest
    {
        // ID of member to be removed
        ID = 651748107021
    };
    MemberRemoveResponse res = etcdClient.MemberRemove(request);

    // Async
    MemberRemoveResponse res = await etcdClient.MemberRemoveAsync(request);

    // Do something with response

Update the member configuration

    MemberUpdateRequest request = new MemberUpdateRequest
    {
        // ID of member to be updated
        ID = 651748107021
    };
    request.PeerURLs.Add("http://10.0.0.1:2380");
    MemberUpdateResponse res = etcdClient.MemberUpdate(request);

    // Async
    MemberUpdateResponse res = await etcdClient.MemberUpdateAsync(request);

    // Do something with response

List all the members in the cluster

    MemberListRequest request = new MemberListRequest();
    etcdClient.MemberList(request);
    MemberListResponse res = etcdClient.MemberList(request);

    // Async
    MemberListResponse res = await etcdClient.MemberListAsync(request);

    // Do something with response
    foreach(var member in res.Members)
    {
        Console.WriteLine($"{member.ID} - {member.Name} - {member.PeerURLs}");
    }

Modify data with transaction https://etcd.io/docs/v3.4.0/learning/api/#transaction

    var txr = new Etcdserverpb.TxnRequest();
    txr.Success.Add(new Etcdserverpb.RequestOp()
    {
        RequestPut = new Etcdserverpb.PutRequest()
        {
            Key = Google.Protobuf.ByteString.CopyFrom("transaction-key", System.Text.Encoding.UTF8),
            Value = Google.Protobuf.ByteString.CopyFrom("tv", System.Text.Encoding.UTF8),
        }
    });
    client.Transaction(txr);

Canceling an operation

Handling cancellations with OperationCanceledException

This is the default behavior selected when creating the EtcdClient with the useLegacyRpcExceptionForCancellation parameter set to false.

    CancellationTokenSource cts = new CancellationTokenSource();
    CancellationToken cancellationToken = cts.Token;

    try
    {
        cts.Cancel();
        StatusRequest request = new StatusRequest();
        StatusResponse response = client.Status(request, cancellationToken: cancellationToken);
        bool isOK = response.Errors.Count == 0;
        Console.WriteLine(isOK ? "Status OK" : "Status not OK");
    }
    catch (OperationCanceledException)
    {
        Console.WriteLine("Operation was canceled.");
    }

Legacy cancellation with RpcException and StatusCode=Cancelled

The next sample shows the behavior when gRPC throws an RpcException with Cancelled StatusCode. To enable this legacy feature, create the EtcdClient with the useLegacyRpcExceptionForCancellation set to true.

    using EtcdClient client = new EtcdClient(
        "https://localhost:2379",
        useLegacyRpcExceptionForCancellation: true);

    CancellationTokenSource cts = new CancellationTokenSource();
    CancellationToken cancellationToken = cts.Token;

    try
    {
        cts.Cancel();
        StatusRequest request = new StatusRequest();
        StatusResponse response = client.Status(request, cancellationToken: cancellationToken);
        bool isOK = response.Errors.Count == 0;
        Console.WriteLine(isOK ? "Status OK" : "Status not OK");
    }
    catch (RpcException rpc) // useLegacyRpcExceptionForCancellation: true
    {
        if (rpc.StatusCode == StatusCode.Cancelled)
        {
            Console.WriteLine("Operation was canceled.");
        }
        else throw;
    }
