It’s impressive the amount of stuff you have been adding on your own. How long does it take for you to write these release notes? :grin:

A lot of time went into this release, which ended up over running about 4 weeks more than normal. I consider myself a fairly slow writer which doesn’t come naturally. I think I started ~2-3 weeks ago, as I prefer to give myself a lot of time for docs since it’s my least favorite task, which I mix in between new dev work & other creative tasks like creating the 6 videos & servicify diagram in the release notes.

You know what, I’ve been wondering why there wasn’t a similar ICrud type API, looks like it’s been on your roadmap.

This looks absolutely amazing, and is just in time for a system I am upgrading from old .NET Framework NancyFX implementation.

Thanks and great job!

Now all I need is a Blazor JsonServiceClient :smiley:

Oh wait, looks like a beginning was made

Yeah Auto CRUD was a gap that needed filling, but it wasn’t straight forward to determine what could & needed to be declaratively implemented in CRUD Services to avoid needing an implementation and why it required a lot of new declarative attributes with #Script integration to be able to cover a wide functional surface area that can be implemented via attributes.

The BlazorClient.cs API is a starting point to create an official public API with a known working configuration that we can later enhance as we know of more features Blazor supports without issues:

var client = BlazorClient.Create(baseUrl);

This API also lets you modify the MessageHandler all Blazor client instances are configured with:

BlazorClient.MessageHandler = new HttpClientHandler { ... };

It’s still unclear how much JSON Serialization implementation Blazor can support, historically crippled .NET Runtimes like Blazor have done poorly with reflection-heavy libraries like Serialization where it might end up the most supported way to invoke ServiceStack Services without issues would be to generate a protoc C# gRPC Client as the generated clients can be created without runtime reflection.
