Using with ASP.NET Core

How to configure within an ASP.NET Core application

In your startup class, use the AddWorkflow extension method to configure workflow core services, and then register your workflows and start the host when you configure the app.

public class Startup
{
    public Startup(IConfiguration configuration)
    {
        Configuration = configuration;
    }

    public IConfiguration Configuration { get; }

    public void ConfigureServices(IServiceCollection services)
    {
        services.AddMvc();
        services.AddWorkflow(cfg =>
        {
            cfg.UseMongoDB(@"mongodb://mongo:27017", "workflow");
            cfg.UseElasticsearch(new ConnectionSettings(new Uri("http://elastic:9200")), "workflows");
        });
    }

    public void Configure(IApplicationBuilder app, IHostingEnvironment env)
    {
        if (env.IsDevelopment())
        {
            app.UseDeveloperExceptionPage();
        }

        app.UseMvc();

        var host = app.ApplicationServices.GetService<IWorkflowHost>();
        host.RegisterWorkflow<TestWorkflow, MyDataClass>();
        host.Start();
    }
}

Usage

Now simply inject the services you require into your controllers

• IWorkflowController
• IWorkflowHost
• ISearchIndex
• IPersistenceProvider
