CommunityToolkit.Aspire.Hosting.SqlDatabaseProjects 9.6.0

CommunityToolkit.Aspire.Hosting.SqlDatabaseProjects library

This package provides .NET Aspire integration for SQL Server Database Projects. It allows you to publish SQL Database Projects as part of your .NET Aspire AppHost projects. It currently works with both MSBuild.Sdk.SqlProj and Microsoft.Build.Sql (aka .sqlprojx) based projects.

Usage

To use this package, install it into your .NET Aspire AppHost project:

dotnet add package CommunityToolkit.Aspire.Hosting.SqlDatabaseProjects

Next, add a reference to the MSBuild.Sdk.SqlProj or Microsoft.Build.Sql project you want to publish in your .NET Aspire AppHost project:

dotnet add reference ../MySqlProj/MySqlProj.csproj

Note: Adding this reference will currently result in warning ASPIRE004. This is a known issue and will be resolved in a future release.

Finally add the project as a resource to your .NET Aspire AppHost:

var builder = DistributedApplication.CreateBuilder(args);

var sql = builder.AddSqlServer("sql")
                 .AddDatabase("test");

builder.AddSqlProject<Projects.MySqlProj>("mysqlproj")
       .WithReference(sql);

builder.Build().Run();

Now when you run your .NET Aspire AppHost project you will see the SQL Database Project being published to the specified SQL Server.

Local .dacpac file support

If you are sourcing your .dacpac file from somewhere other than a project reference, you can also specify the path to the .dacpac file directly:

var builder = DistributedApplication.CreateBuilder(args);

var sql = builder.AddSqlServer("sql")
                 .AddDatabase("test");

builder.AddSqlProject("mysqlproj")
       .WithDacpac("path/to/mysqlproj.dacpac")
       .WithReference(sql);

builder.Build().Run();

Support for existing SQL Server

Instead of using the AddSqlServer method to use a SQL Server container, you can specify a connection string to an existing server:

var builder = DistributedApplication.CreateBuilder(args);

// Get an existing connection string from the configuration
var connection = builder.AddConnectionString("Aspire");

builder.AddSqlProject<Projects.SdkProject>("mysqlproj")
       .WithReference(connection);

builder.Build().Run();

Deployment options support

Define options that affect the behavior of package deployment.

var builder = DistributedApplication.CreateBuilder(args);

var sql = builder.AddSqlServer("sql")
                 .AddDatabase("test");

builder.AddSqlProject("mysqlproj")
       .WithConfigureDacDeployOptions(options => options.IncludeCompositeObjects = true)
       .WithReference(sql);

builder.Build().Run();
