HappyEntity.Refit.Composite 2.1.1

Refit.Composite

A lightweight, high-performance architectural wrapper for Refit that orchestrates multiple isolated API contracts into unified, Scoped composite services with sophisticated message handler pipeline management.

Features

• 🏎️ High Performance: Compile-time Source Generator orchestration powered by a hardware-level Lock-Free cache with absolutely zero allocations on subsequent property resolutions.
• 🧩 Clean Architecture: Group isolated Refit interfaces into single unified contracts without boilerplate abstract classes or manual dependency factories.
• 🛡️ Declarative Pipeline Control: Manage individual DelegatingHandler chains using native C# 12+ generic attributes directly over API definitions.
• 🚀 Native AOT & Blazor WASM: 100% compatible with Ahead-Of-Time compilation and browser environments out of the box, producing zero runtime compilation or formatting warnings.
• 🪵 Built-in Quality of Life: Seamless, out-of-the-box integration with high-speed, status-code-aware HTTP logging handlers.

Installation

Install the package via NuGet Package Manager CLI:

dotnet add package HappyEntity.Refit.Composite

Quick Start

1. Define Your Refit Contracts & Composite Interface

Declare your single micro-interfaces using standard Refit attributes. Then, compose them into an aggregate interface inheriting from IRefitComposite. You can assign HTTP handlers globally or to specific endpoints using contemporary generic attributes:

using Refit;
using Refit.Composite;
using Refit.Composite.Attributes;

// Applied globally: executes for both Test and Users endpoints
[ApiHandler<AntiforgeryHandler>]
public interface IMyCompositeApi : IRefitComposite
{
    // Inherits global handlers + built-in ShortLoggingHandler
    ITestApi Test { get; }

    // Overrides pipeline: resets all accumulated handlers and applies ONLY CustomLoggingHandler
    [ApiIgnoreAllHandlers]
    [ApiHandler<CustomLoggingHandler>]
    IUserApi Users { get; }
}

public interface ITestApi
{
    [Get("/posts/1")]
    Task<string> GetPostAsync();
}

public interface IUserApi
{
    [Get("/users/1")]
    Task<string> GetUserAsync();
}

2. Register via Dependency Injection

Invoke the registration extension within your application bootstrap (Program.cs). The library takes care of building independent HttpClient configurations for every inner interface contract and safely mounts the Dynamic Proxy:

using Microsoft.Extensions.DependencyInjection;

var services = new ServiceCollection();

// Explicitly register your custom pipeline dependencies
services.AddTransient<AntiforgeryHandler>();
services.AddTransient<CustomLoggingHandler>();

// Boot up the composite workspace
services.AddRefitComposite<IMyCompositeApi>("https://jsonplaceholder.typicode.com/");

var provider = services.BuildServiceProvider();

3. Resolve and Execute

Consume the unified interface through standard constructor injection like any ordinary Scoped service:

var composite = provider.GetRequiredService<IMyCompositeApi>();

// Seamless execution over high-performance lock-free hardware cache
string postData = await composite.Test.GetPostAsync();
Console.WriteLine(postData);

Pipeline Priority Engine

Attributes are processed linearly from top to bottom, providing complete granularity over HTTP message handler setup:

1. [ApiHandler<T>] — appends a specific DelegatingHandler to the active execution queue.
2. [ApiIgnoreHandler<T>] — surgically drops an upstream-declared handler from the active property sequence.
3. [ApiIgnoreAllHandlers] — completely flushes the configuration timeline up to its line of declaration.
