Feature Requests

← Customer Feedback for ServiceStack

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).

There are two ways to get more votes:

  • When an admin closes an idea you've voted on, you'll get your votes back from that idea.
  • You can remove your votes from an open idea you support.
  • To see ideas you have already voted on, select the "My feedback" filter and select "My open ideas".

  1. PHP Service Clients and DTO generation

    Our clients wish to consume our services via PHP.

    ServiceStack support for PHP via Service Clients, DTO generation and possibly 'Add Service Reference' would be great!

  3. Python as a supported Native Type

    The addition of Python as a Native Type would make it a lot easier to integrate ServiceStack and Python.

  4. EnableResponseTracking under CsvRequestLogger

    CsvRequestLogger has a boolean 'EnableResponseTracking' property; it works perfect. But, sometimes the response data is a file and it makes the log file huge and difficult to read. It would be nice to make the property a lambda(Func) expression so that the user can decide when to include the response data.

    I've just added support for this in this commit:

    https://github.com/ServiceStack/ServiceStack/commit/167d66340544c51a83bc00ec62054bfb975569aa


    This change is available from v6.1.1 that's now available on MyGet:

    https://docs.servicestack.net/myget


    FYI we're also working on a built-in Request Logger UI we hope you'll find useful at: /admin-ui/logging (you'll need the "Admin" role to access it)


    We're also moving feature requests to our new GitHub Discussions site at:

    https://servicestack.net/ideas

  5. Refactor to use HttpRequestBase and HttpResponseBase

    Much of the existing code implements IHttpRequest and IHttpResponse interfaces and writes complete code for implementing these. That was necessary before the redesign in 4.5 implemented mockable versions of the non-inheritable old HttpResponse classes.

    I think it can reduce the amount of code in SS and enable use to not need to use global items like HttpContext.Current.Request which results in - non-testable controllers.

    The change to help the above situation I implemented grew out of scope, but thought it worthwhile to explore for a later version.

  6. Add an overload of PostFileWithRequest which accepts progress callback

    PostFileWithRequest works great, but user experience isn't great when this method is used to post large files (20+MB or even smaller files over a slow connection) to the server because there's no callback for progress notification.

    Additionally, this method isn't async in SL5 builds, but we can work around this. We can't work around missing progress callback though.

    Looking at the implementation of this method, this should be fairly easy to do. I will most likely submit a pull request with the implementation over the weekend.

  7. Would love a SQL Server Cache Client

  8. AsyncRequestFilters

    We are creating a api that uses authorization attribute request filter in all paths(except login, of course). The attribute request for authorization to another system. Because request filters are sync the request is blocked and waiting for response at this point. A solution can be that request filters can returns a Task. Something like this:

    public override Task ProcessRequestAsync(IRequest httpReq, IResponse httpRes, string operationName){

                .....


            return Task.Factory.ContinueWhenAll(appHost.ApplyAsyncRequestFilters(httpReq, httpRes, request),
                tasks => httpRes.IsClosed ? null : GetResponse(httpReq, request))
                .ContinueWith(tResponse => HandleResponse(tResponse.Result, response =>
                {
                    if (appHost.ApplyResponseFilters(httpReq, httpRes, response))
                        return null;

                    if (responseContentType.Contains("jsv") && !string.IsNullOrEmpty(httpReq.QueryString["debug"]))
                        return WriteDebugResponse(httpRes, response);

                    if (doJsonp && !(response

  9. AuthFeature().ServiceRoutes - Option to hide route /Auth

    Add a property to Remove the /Auth route, in favor of only /Authenticate instead.

    Currently, I've added the following to hide /Auth routes.

                    // This is a way to remove the /Auth route and leave /Authorize instead. We don't need 2
                ServiceRoutes = new Dictionary<Type, string[]> {{ typeof(AuthenticateService), new[] { "/" + localize(LocalizedStrings.Authenticate), "/" + localize(LocalizedStrings.Authenticate) + "/{provider}" }}},

    Maybe there is a better way? Or is this bad?

    Like most plugins you can configure them when registering them, you can change it to only host Authenticate Services on `/authenticate` route with:

    var authFeature = new AuthFeature(…);
    authFeature.ServiceRoutes[typeof (AuthenticateService)] = new[] {
    “/authenticate”,
    “/authenticate/{provider}”,
    };

    Plugins.Add(authFeature);

  10. Service Stack OrmLite 4.0.34 does not return result set for async version

    4.0.34 version of ormlite gives null for an async call
    for example

    // user1 is not null in this case
    var user1 = db.Single(db.From<Users>().Where(x => x.UserPartyId == userPartyId).Select());

    // user2 is null in this case
    var user2 = await db.SingleAsync(db.From<Users>().Where(x => x.UserPartyId == userPartyId).Select());

  11. Ability to override OrmLiteCacheClient to change CacheEntry table name

    However it would be best to accomplish, it would be rad to be able to have our own Alias for the CacheEntry object inside OrmLiteCacheClient. We are sharing a database between multiple web apps, but don't want to share the same CacheEntry table.

  13. WebServiceException ToString Overrride

    Hi, currently WebServiceException does not override to string , so that the base ToString() implementation which returns quite "unusefull" info

    I suggest to override the ToString method of WebServiceException
    to add info such as errorCode, errorMessage, StatusCode, .Responsestatus.Errors .. etc ..

    That would turn usefull, expecially when logging, since most logging mechanism dump the ex.ToString() ..

  14. PocoDynamo - Support Generic Types

    We're interested in purchasing licenses for ServiceStack. Particularly, we're interested in using the ServiceStack.Aws component. However, while evaluating it, we noticed that the PocoDynamo implementation fails to support generic types.

    Currently, if a table is registered using a generic type (i.e. db.RegisterTable<GenericPoco<Poco>()) , it fails because the name used for the table does not abide by DynamoDB's rules for Table Name.

    I have local modifications of the ServiceStack.Aws source that allows for generic types definitions to be registered, including tests showing it working. I can submit this code to somebody on your team if you like.

    ‘fmt’ is a widely used abbreviation to mean format, as this is something that can used a lot we prefer its most abbreviated form to reduce the noise. If you prefer a longer name you can use the equivalent `.FormatWith()` extension method however both these APIs are effectively deprecated with C# 6’s new string interpolation.

  17. new feature in c# add service stack reference

    I'd like the possibility to specify if types (all or specific ones) should be generated as internal and not as public

    such as
    InternalTypes: ... list of types

    often I get collision among types that are in a shared library , but that do "leak" through a service request / response DTO .

  18. Add TypeScript reference for WebStorm

    ServiceStack already has a plugin for IntelliJ Idea to generate typed requests, and for Visual Studio to generate TypeScript models. It would be nice to combine both of them in a WebStorm support for TypeScript models generation from a ServiceStack service.
