Liquid Application Framework

This repository contains Liquid Application Framework full code, samples, templates and documentation.

New Major Version Warning

• This is the new major version of Liquid Application Framework, launched on April/2021.
• We’ve made significant breaking changes and a complete rearchitecture of our framework. So, this version isn’t compatible and there is no easy conversion from the old one.
• We decided to deprecate the old version and it will not receive any kind of updates, not even bug fixes. But, for historical purposes and to allow anyone relying on it to fork the code and maintain its own version of it, we’ll keep the old repository public.

What is Liquid?

Liquid is a multi-cloud framework designed to accelerate the development of cloud-native microservices while avoiding coupling your code to specific cloud providers.

When writing Liquid applications, you stop worrying about the technology and focus on your business logic - Liquid abstracts most of the boilerplate and let you just write domain code that looks great and gets the job done.

Feature

• Abstracts a number of services from cloud providers such as Azure, AWS and Google Cloud to enable you to write code that could run anywhere.
• Brings a directed programming model that will save you time on thinking how to structure your application, allowing you to focus on writing business code.

Getting Started

You can use Liquid Templates to get your microservice started.

Install the templates by running the following dotnet CLI command at the PowerShell prompt :

dotnet new install Liquid.Templates

and run dotnet new command with the name and parameters of the following templates:

Name	Description
liquidcrudsolution	Liquid WebAPI CRUD Solution (Domain and WebAPI projects)
liquidcrudaddentity	Liquid entity class, CRUD mediator handlers and CRUD controller
liquiddomainaddhandler	Liquid mediator command handler
liquiddomainproject	Liquid Domain project (mediator command handler)
liquidwebapisolution	Liquid WebAPI solution (Domain and WebAPI projects)
liquidwebapiaddentity	Liquid entity class, mediator command handler and CRUD controller
liquidwebapiproject	Liquid WebAPI project
liquidworkersolution	Liquid WorkerService solution (Domain and WorkerService projects)
liquidworkerproject	Liquid WorkerService project
liquidbcontextaddentity	Liquid DbContext entity configuration class (for Entity Framework)
liquiddbcontextproject	Liquid Repository project (EntityFramework DbContext configurations)

Sample:

To create an WebAPI solution with CRUD handlers, you must:

• execute command :

dotnet new liquidcrudsolution --projectName "some root namespace" --entityName "some entity" --entityIdType "type of your unique ID"

• open the folder where the command was executed, and open the project created in the IDE of your choice:

• follow the instructions found in the generated code TODOs, and run!

You can make changes in code, add more classes and project if you need, and also using others Liquid templates to do it!
