Feature Requests
Feature, docs and use-case samples requests for ServiceStack. If you can, focus on the end-user benefit / use-case, rather than the technical details so we can focus on the end-goal and free us to work on how best to achieve it. Features can also include supporting content, e.g. a starter project on how to use ServiceStack with another product (e.g. SS + SharePoint).

Encrypted messaging javascript client
We have message-level encryption and the corresponding .Net client library to use it. But I'd love to be able to call encrypted services from JavaScript. Ideally add to ss-utils.js, or because the encryption can get bulky, into a new ss-encrypt-utils.js.

support F# data type for serialization and deserialization
This is specially for option type and discriminated unions. Currently it is not supported by Servicestack.Text. It would be great to have support for that.
For
type City = Abad | Pune
[<CLIMutableAttribute>]
type Person = {
FirstName:string
LastName: string option
City : City
}let p1 = {FirstName = "Foo"; LastName = Some "Bar"; City = Pune}
let jss = new JsonStringSerializer()
let p1Str = jss.SerializeToString(p1)It is serializing
"{"FirstName":"Foo","LastName":{"Value":"Bar"},"City":{"Tag":1,"IsAbad":false,"IsPune":true}}"Where is should be
"{"FirstName":"Foo","LastName":"Bar","City":"Pune"}"For reference https://github.com/Microsoft/fsharplu/wiki/fsharplu.json is library by MSR.
It would be great to have this feature so DTO can be written in F# types. Currently…

SDK Documentation
The c# SDK is seriously lagging in documentation. By that I mean IntelliSense documentation: it would be awsome with some "in line" documentation for methods and properties in the SDK

ServiceStack GraphQL endpoint
I've just stumbled upon Facebook's GraphQL and it's pretty slick.
The ability to query a ServiceStack endpoint using GraphQL would be a great addition (maybe similar to AutoQuery?) If ORMLite could also populate an object graph using a GraphQL query...51 votes -
support caching in java AndroidServiceClient
Using servicestack client in mobile development with Xamarin gives so much benefits and caching dramatically improves performance and user experience.
It would be nice to have same caching support for all clients (.NET, JAVA, ..)3 votes -
OpenID Connect Auth Provider
"OpenID Connect (OIDC) is an authentication layer on top of OAuth 2.0, an authorization framework." The benefit to developers and consumers is a more simplified way to add a new Auth provider which would provide some standard user info.
http://openid.net/connect/68 votesOne way to enable OIDC with ServiceStack is through IdentityServer, see example in new IdentityServer4 template:
https://docs.servicestack.net/releases/v5.5#using-identityserver4-auth-in-servicestack
ServiceStack also added support for using ASP.NET Identity Auth, see:

Improvements for batched requests
I've started working with request batching, which is a really nice feature. Everything works, but there two improvements I'd like to see.
Firstly, for IReturnVoid requests there is SendAllOneWay, but there is no async version of that method.
Secondly, I'd like to be able to specify a http Verb with the SendAll methods. The implementation should select the correct method in the service, both when calling a single request method multiple times, but also for the batched method. Right now the batched service methods always need to be Any(), it would be nice to be able to have Delete(OrderID[] orders).

Support oAuth2 login to Swagger API
Swagger now support oAuth login page to create a access_token to apply to a oAuth protected API: http://developers-blog.helloreverb.com/enabling-oauth-with-swagger/
Please could you add a similar capability to ServiceSatck.SwaggerFeature that enables SS developers to add a similar capability to their own APIS that are protected by oAuth.

Add BulkInsert/Bulk Copy to the ormlite databases you can
Being able to bulk insert/copy would be cool.
Adding support in so I could just take a list and
Db.BulkCopy(listOfObjects);
would be pretty sweet.
SqlServer has the bulkCopy object, postgres has the copy command, sqlite has import (although no idea how well that works) , and mysql...well...who cares (i don't know what they have)
Having a single interface for bulk copying objects into different databases I think would be a nice feature for ormlite. (not sure how feasible)

Deeper SignalR Integration
I'd like to see a deeper integration between ServiceStack and SignalR. Here are a few ideas that I've so far ran into...
A Hub Authorization Attribute which implements IAuthorizeHubConnection and/or IAuthorizeHubMethodInvocation.
Some sort of JsonServiceClient integration with HubConnections. Maybe automatically associating Cookies with a new HubConnection. Plus exception handling wrappers (i.e. Like an Unauthorized exception is thrown within a SignalR exception).
Centralized documentation outlining what needs to be changed in the web.config for SignalR to co-exist with ServiceStack. Also why the UseBufferedStream property should be enabled for SignalR.
This might require a separate feature request but an updated example app…
151 votesThe way ServiceStack and SignalR will be able to integrate in future will be through .NET Core’s IApplicationBuilder pipeline which by design supports running multiple frameworks within the same App that can now share the same default route namespace.
From the v4.5.2, ServiceStack now supports running on .NET Core, please see the guide in the full release notes which shows how to register ServiceStack’s AppHost in .NET Core: http://docs.servicestack.net/releases/v4.5.2.html
SignalR for .NET Core has yet to be released but it’s expected you’ll be able to access SignalR via its dependencies registered in .NET Core’s Startup which will also be injected in your Services like normal IOC dependencies.
We’ll update this feature request again with an example showing a demo of ServiceStack + SignalR together in the same App once SignalR is available on .NET Core in 2017.

Built-in Active Directory Authentication suport.
I would really like to see out of the box support for IWA - Integrated Windows Authentication with Active Directory. Many in-house .Net developers for both large and small organizations write web applications that are Intranet facing, and require the use of Integrated Windows Authentication with IIS. In these environments, corporate security policy often dictates that Active Directory group membership should drive what resources a user can and cannot access.
So, Kerberos authentication often plays a big part in shipping the logged in user’s credentials via tickets from the application server to back end databases. Built-in support for a ServiceStack…163 votesA preview of AspNetWindowsAuthProvider was added in the v4.0.21 release, see:

Management Overview Dashboard
While being able to offload to statsd/graphite/raygun/... is great, a "state of the nation" dashboard would be really handy.
This could show requests/sec, wait times, "slow" requests, auth failures, live access map, recent exceptions, known issues (e.g. can't connect to redisX/mssqlY)

AppHostMqListenerBase: AppHost with automatically registered MQ message handlers
Create [self-hosted] apphost where all request messages are automatically registered to the MQ message service,
so that all services can be accessed via MQ without the need to register every request type manually with something like "mqServer.RegisterHandler<Hello>(...)" .It would be nice if the order of operations of the mq message handling could be further aligned to the http variant.
