WeChooz Aspire Hosting MailDev

CI

This .NET Aspire Integration runs MailDev in a container.

Get started

To get started, install the install the 📦 WeChooz.Aspire.Hosting.MailDev NuGet package in the AppHost project.

.NET CLI

dotnet add package WeChooz.Aspire.Hosting.MailDev

Usage

To add the MailDev resource, call the AddMailDev method on a IDistributedApplicationBuilder instance representing the .NET Aspire host:

builder.AddMailDev("mailer");

The integration exposes a connection string with the format Endpoint=smtp://<host>:<port>. This connection string can be used to with a DbConnectionStringBuilder to get the smtp endpoint.

More options

You can specify the port for the SMTP and HTTP endpoint:

builder.AddMailDev("mailer", httpPort: 1234, smtpPort: 4321);

You can also specify a username and a password to secure the connection to the SMTP (local) server (learn how to work with parameter in .NET Aspire):

builder.AddMailDev("mailer", credentials: new CredentialsResourceParameterBuilder(builder.AddParameter(...), builder.AddParameter(...));

When credentials are specified, the format of the connection string becomes: Endpoint=smtp://<host>:<port>;Username=<username>;Password=<password>

Lovingly inspired by .NET Aspire documentation

This project is lovingly inspired by the integration samples in the .NET Aspire documentation.

It has been improved to meet our internal needs.
