Features

Dependency Injection / Wiring up Relewise clients

We provide a lot of ways to easily add the clients you need. The default way to do that is using the following code:

services.AddRelewise(options =>
{
    options.DatasetId = Guid.Parse("1B5A09DB-561E-47E0-B8ED-4E559A1B7EB9");
    options.ApiKey = "r4FqfMqtiZjJmoN";
    options.Timeout = TimeSpan.FromSeconds(3);
});

This will wire up the client instances of ITracker, IRecommender and ISearcher, and these clients will all be configured for the DatasetId and ApiKey options specificed above, and with a request timeout of 3 seconds. Optionally, it is possible to define a ServerUrl for the client to target. If no value is provided the client will by default target the main Relewise server.

We recommend that the DatasetId, ApiKey and ServerUrl are stored in a configuration-file. We provide a default way of reading from the appsettings.json, see options.ReadFromConfiguration(configuration) below:

IConfiguration configuration = new ConfigurationBuilder()
    .SetBasePath(Directory.GetCurrentDirectory())
    .AddJsonFile("appsettings.json")
    .AddJsonFile($"appsettings.{Environment.GetEnvironmentVariable("ASPNETCORE_ENVIRONMENT") ?? "Development"}.json", true)
    .Build();

services.AddRelewise(options => options.ReadFromConfiguration(configuration));

The configuration offers a lot of other great features, such as

• Set specific options for DatasetId, ApiKey, ServerUrl and Timeout for the individual client instances of ITracker, IRecommender and ISearcher.
• Named clients to allow different configuration for integrations etc or to use for a multi site-setup.

Here is a full example of all the configuration settings we provide via the appsettings or via the fluent API:

"Relewise": {
    "DatasetId": "<<dataset-id>>",
    "ApiKey": "<<api-key>>",
    "Timeout": "00:00:03",
    "ServerUrl": "<<server-url>>",
    "Tracker": {
        "Timeout": "00:00:10"
    },
    "Recommender": {
        "Timeout": "00:00:05"
    },
    "Searcher": {
        "Timeout": "00:00:10"
    },
    "Named": {
        "Integration": {
            "Tracker": {
                "Timeout": "00:00:30"
            }
        },
        "ContentSite": {
            "DatasetId": "<<dataset-id>>",
            "ApiKey": "<<api-key>>",
            "ServerUrl": "<<server-url>>",
            "Timeout": "00:00:03",
            "Tracker": {
                "Timeout": "00:00:10"
            },
            "Recommender": {
                "Timeout": "00:00:05"
            },
            "Searcher": {
                "Timeout": "00:00:10"
            }
        }
    }
}

When using named clients, you can use the IRelewiseClientFactory to retrieve an instance of ITracker, IRecommender and ISearcher:

IRelewiseClientFactory factory = provider.GetRequiredService<IRelewiseClientFactory>();
ITracker tracker = factory.GetClient<ITracker>("Integration");
