CommunityToolkit.Aspire.Minio.Client

CommunityToolkit.Aspire.Minio.Client

Registers a MinIOClient in the DI container for connecting to MinIO.

Getting started

Prerequisites

• MinIO or other S3-compatible storage.

Install the package

Install the .NET Aspire MinIO Client library with NuGet:

dotnet add package CommunityToolkit.Aspire.Minio.Client

Usage example

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

builder.AddMinioClient("minio");

Configuration

The .NET Aspire MinIO Client integration 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.AddMinioClient():

builder.AddMinioClient("minio");

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

{
    "ConnectionStrings": {
        "minio": "Endpoint=http://localhost:9001/;AccessKey=minioAdmin;SecretKey=minioAdmin"
    }
}

Use configuration providers

The .NET Aspire MinIO Client integration supports Microsoft.Extensions.Configuration. It loads the MinioClientSettings from configuration by using the Aspire:Minio:Client key. This key can be overriden by using the configurationSectionName method parameter. Example appsettings.json that configures some of the options:

{
  "Aspire": {
    "Minio": {
      "Client": {
        "Endpoint": "http://localhost:9001/",
        "AccessKey": "minioAdmin",
        "SecretKey": "minioAdmin"
      }
    }
  }
}

Use inline delegates

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

builder.AddMinioClient("minio", configureSettings: settings => settings.SecretKey = "minioAdmin");

AppHost extensions

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

dotnet add package CommunityToolkit.Aspire.Hosting.Minio

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

var minio = builder.AddMinioContainer("minio");

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

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

builder.AddMinioClient("minio");

Then, in your service, inject IMinioClient and use it to interact with the MinIO or other S3 compatible API:

public class MyService(IMinioClient minioClient)
{
    // ...
}
