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).

Add Sign in with Apple auth provider
Add Sign in with Apple auth provider support for servicestack. Same way as there is facebook, google and other providers
3 votesThe AppleAuthProvider from the ServiceStack.Extensions .NET Core 3.1 NuGet package is now available from v5.9.3+ that’s now available on MyGet (https://docs.servicestack.net/myget)

Expose cancellable async methods in clients through an interface
IHttpRestClientAsync exposes various method-specific async methods as well as SendAsync.
SendAsync has a cancellation token parameter in its signature:
Task<TResponse> SendAsync<TResponse>(string httpMethod, string absoluteUrl, object request, CancellationToken token = default);
while other methods (GetAsync, PostAsync etc) don't
Implementations of IHttpRestClientAsync (like JsonHttpClient) do have the methods which support then token:
public Task<TResponse> GetAsync<TResponse>(IReturn<TResponse> requestDto, CancellationToken token) =>
SendAsync<TResponse>(HttpMethods.Get, ResolveTypedUrl(HttpMethods.Get, requestDto), null, token);and in fact all the method-specific implementations just call SendAsync under the hood.
Without token-aware methods exposed through an interface I cannot use them in a depencency-injected IServiceClient and its derivatives. They are only usable if…
1 voteYeah the clients async interfaces weren’t ideal, it started from the initial impl of the .NET WebRequest clients being implemented using the older APM model which didn’t use them. Other implementations just kept the same API.
Anyway since it’s a source-compatible change (will require a rebuild after upgrade), I’ve added an optional CancellationToken to all Async Service Client APIs in this commit:
https://github.com/ServiceStack/ServiceStack/commit/dc6a281e80987b522c218bc82ce9cfefb111ea86
This change is now available from v5.8.1 that’s now available on MyGet:

mix alias <name> <url>
Would be nice to specify easy to remember alias for custom gist.
1 voteLocal aliases are now implemented, examples at:
https://sharpscript.net/sharp-apps/app-index#app-local-aliases
In addition The global mix directory, i.e. provides short alias + description & tags to help with discovery.
https://gist.github.com/gistlyn/9b32b03f207a191099137429051ebde8
Please leave a comment on that gist with the alias, link, description, tags you want added.

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 votesTyped Language support for PHP is available via gRPC which provides a similar dev workflow to Add ServiceStack Reference, see:
https://todoworld.servicestack.net/#php
Although PHP happens to be the ugliest language to generate typed clients for, nowhere near as nice as its Python and Ruby cousins.

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

Add SqlListLazy to OrmLite
When using raw SQL, due to having complex CTE queries, that does not start with
SELECT
but rather withWITH
, theSqlList
method loads everything in one go.
This is unfortunate when the result set is large, and we would like to process one row at a time, and avoid the memory overhead, and waiting time, of getting the whole result set at once.The
SelectLazy
would have solved this problem, if it had supported any arbitrary SQL, but it does not.
According to the documentationSelectLazy
can do this if the SQL starts withSELECT
however, for our…1 voteThis should now be supported using the existing `SelectLazy` APIs from v5.7.1+ that’s now available on MyGet.

Possibility to download previous version of ServiceStackVS extension
Since latest update of ServiceStackVS seems to introduce a bug in VS 2015, the option "Add ServiceStack Reference" is no longer appearing in project context menu. In addition, the ability to update ServiceStack References is broken too.
Where can I download previous version of this extension ?

VS2019 will be released tomorrow, but the current VSIX is not compatible with it. Aside from bumping the supported versions, it should also be updated to an AsyncPackage.

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!

OrmLite.PostgreSQL support for HStore types (Dictionary)
Support of HStores when using Dictionary<string,string> or as a new field attribute.
HStores (key values) are very good in certain scenarios (logging/auditing) and complex parsing is easier to do in .NET than in SQL.
Custom SQL that SELECT's data is easy, but not easy to insert/save hstore in custom sql.
Also Npgsql already supports them.

Support OAuth2 on .net core
At the moment, the OAuth2 Providers for ServiceStack library does not support .net core, as explained by mythz in this StackOverflow answer:
> ServiceStack's OAuth2 depends on DotNetOpenAuth which unfortunately doesn't support .NET Core so there's currently no support for OAuth2 - https://stackoverflow.com/a/42344183/969613
Google Authentication is a feature requirement on my current project, so this one thing is preventing us from moving to .net core, support for this would be great.
154 votesThe remaining OAuth2 providers have been rewritten in v5.5 without the Dependency to DotNetOpenAuth and are now in ServiceStack.Auth with the rest of the Auth Providers which all support .NET Standard 2.0/.NET Core

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.

Provide Async Support For Redis Client
Currently redis client is not async - this is wasting valuable resources on the server side. As far as I understand async support is currently only there for service clients and not redis

Support PostgreSQL array parameters
Currently to send in an integer array as a parameter, I have to use format.
var ids = "ARRAY[1,2,3]";
var sql = "SELECT 1 = ANY[{0}]".Fmt(ids);
Db.Query<Model>(sql);I would rather use syntax like this:
var ids = new int[] {1, 2, 3};
var sql = "SELECT 1 = ANY(@ids)";

Add ".dll" to AllowFileExtension, and add dll => "application/octet-stream" MimeTypes
The new WebAssembly feature being added to mainstream browsers will download .dll files to the browser. To make it possible to serve static .dll fiiles by default, please add .dll files as mimeType application/octet-stream, and allow these types of files by default.

Add ".wasm" to AllowFileExtensions and associate MimeType "application/wasm"
WebAssembly is a new binary format for static files. The official site has more info. https://webassembly.org/
