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).

  3. Portable Class Library for Xamarin Clients - Xamarin Component Store

    Xamarin support IOS/Android/Windows Store/Windows Phone. A universal Service Stack client written using PCL would simplify code reuse. The code could be packaged up into a Xamarin Component Store download if necessary. Or be used in conjunction with MvvmCross for use in MVVM style coding and/or unit testing.

  4. Support SSL connection to Redis instances hosted as PaaS in public clouds such as Azure.

    At this time, StackExchange.Redis is the only .Net library I can find that supports SSL connections to Azure Redis. I imagine others will follow suit. It would be useful to have SSL connection available in ServiceStack as well. Thanks.

  5. Typescript and C# Enums: option for string literal types

    We already proposed https://servicestack.uservoice.com/forums/176786-feature-requests/suggestions/10105086-add-support-for-non-ambient-typescript-module-gene

    We are using this and it works well, but unfortunately there is one issue: enums!

    We serialize the enums as strings and not integers.

    In typescript world this all works fine, the enums are in the generated DTO's and the compiler is happy. But on the wire there is the Enum as a string instead of an integer which typescript can't map back to the typed dto. so all my typescript code doesn't work anymore.

    We end up doing:

    myAnimal.AnimalType.ToString() === dtos.AnimalType[dtos.AnimalType.Rabbit]

    which is working but doesn't feel "right". From a typescript point of view we…

  7. Add Servicestack + Aurelia template

    Add a starter template for servicestack and aurelia. After what I've read, Aurelia and ServiceStack seems to have a lot in common. Like conventions over configuration. It's easy to test, customize and extend.

    We’re going to support Server Events for alt languages through ServiceStack’s new gRPC support which has a dedicated “Server Stream” rpc channel that’s specifically designed for persisten server communications like Server Events.

    There’s a Dart Server Events example in the docs:

    https://docs.servicestack.net/grpc#server-stream-grpc-services
    https://docs.servicestack.net/grpc-dart

    May look at improving the development UX in future with an “Adapter” of the gRPC stream to provide a declarative UX for registering handlers.

  11. Add message-level encryption

    Add the ability to specify message-level encryption on all client/server requests. Allow custom selection of encryption techniques (RSA, AES, etc.) for each direction, and the initialization vectors. Server-side I can see doing this via plug-ins and / or attributes.

    Create a subset of client libraries that handle encryption, perhaps using function pointers to encrypt / decrypt.

    Its been suggested previously by Demois on different forums.

  12. Create Auto Crud

    Take a project like http://www.mattjcowan.com/funcoding/2013/05/11/restful-api-and-ui-for-typed-views-and-typed-lists/
    and lift it to the next level.
    Purpose: Point ActiveScaffold with AutoCrud to your database, and you get a half sensible CRUD web interface to maintain it. In other words, an instant backoffice.
    This is orthogonal to any other API usage of ServiceStack.

    Inspired by the Rails equivalent "https://github.com/activescaffold/active_scaffold" that is very nicely designed, with both configuration and override possibilities.

  15. Refactor NuGet packages

    Change NuGet packages so they map 1:1 with ServiceStack projects. So 'Install-Package ServiceStack' doesn't bring in OrmLite and Redis automatically, and we can 'Install-Package ServiceStack.Interfaces' to bring in the minimum dependencies DTO's need.

    The NuGet packages have been refactored in v4 which has the following deps:

    ServiceStack.Common
    – ServiceStack.Text
    – ServiceStack.Interfaces

    ServiceStack.Client
    – ServiceStack.Text
    – ServiceStack.Interfaces

    ServiceStack
    – ServiceStack.Common
    – ServiceStack.Client

    ServiceStack.Server
    – ServiceStack
    – ServiceStack.Redis
    – ServiceStack.OrmLite

  16. Deprecate or update docs.servicstack.net

    Can you either shelve or update docs.servicestack.net? They appear to be very out-of-date, but keep showing up in search results. While most of the information is relevant, its incomplete and occasionally misleading.

  17. ORMLite - Add attribute to ignore property on updates

    It'd be nice to have an attribute to apply to data DTOs that would cause them to be excluded if an update statement is executed.

    Use case: Auditing
    I have an IAudit interface that looks like (basically copied from Demis' answer here http://stackoverflow.com/questions/21803999/are-interceptors-possible-in-servicestack-ormlite)

    public IAudited{
    string CreatedBy {get; set;}
    DateTime CreatedDate {get;set;}
    string ModifiedBy {get;set;}
    string ModifiedDate {get;set;}
    }

    Using OrmLite's insert filter makes it easy to generate values for the interface members when setting, as I can get the current user and Date and use them for both the Created and Modified fields. On an update though, I…

  18. Add Email Templating Engine

    Similar to ServiceStack Bundler, it'd be fantastic to have a node.js-powered email templating system for generating transactional emails with custom data payloads out of a SS app.

    It'd be great if the engine worked with simple html templates and CSS so that non-C# people can get involved. Something super simple to use and set up, but powerful in execution.

    This would make emails:

    • testable
    • collaborative (e.g. with frontend engineers)
    • iterable (easy transactional email multivariate testing?)
    • CSS automatic inlining
    • optional integration with litmus.com?

    The latest v5.2 release includes a powerful and easy to use template system which is ideal for non-devs to create email templates:

    https://docs.servicestack.net/releases/v5.2#servicestack-templates-remastered

    The Background MQ provides a great way to send emails in the background:
    http://docs.servicestack.net/background-mq

    A working example of this is available in TechStacks:
    https://github.com/NetCoreApps/TechStacks#background-mq-service

    Whilst the Email Templates use-case shows an example of generating text + html emails with markdown:
    http://templates.servicestack.net/usecases/email-templates

  19. ServiceStack.OrmLite.Core Mysql support.

    I'd like to see a mysql integration.

  20. mongodb / nosql support

    For a few of us, we are constrained with having to use mongodb or other nosql databases instead of an RDBMS.

    It would be good if we have a some sort of native mongodb support or at least a few examples/patterns of how to go about a full mongodb/servicestack solution. I understand that we have examples of redis usage but, we do not have authentication and other similar aspects as examples.

    Love the tooling still! yet hate to work with anything else now (you spoiled us!) that I have to work with mongodb.

    Cheers!
