Ocelot是ASP.NET Core下的API网关的一种实现,在微服务架构领域发挥了非常重要的作用。本文不会从整个微服务架构的角度来介绍Ocelot,而是介绍一下最近在学习过程中遇到的一个问题,以及如何使用中间件(Middleware)来解决这样的问题。
在上文中,我介绍了一种在Angular站点里基于Bootstrap切换主题的方法。之后,我将多个主题的boostrap.min.css文件放到一个ASP.NET Core Web API的站点上,并用静态文件的方式进行分发,在完成这部分工作之后,调用这个Web API,就可以从服务端获得主题信息以及所对应的样式文件。例如:
// GET http://localhost:5010/api/themes
{
"version": "1.0.0",
"themes": [
{
"name": "蔚蓝 (Cerulean)",
"description": "Cerulean",
"category": "light",
"cssMin": "http://localhost:5010/themes/cerulean/bootstrap.min.css",
"navbarClass": "navbar-dark",
"navbarBackgroundClass": "bg-primary",
"footerTextClass": "text-light",
"footerLinkClass": "text-light",
"footerBackgroundClass": "bg-primary"
},
{
"name": "机械 (Cyborg)",
"description": "Cyborg",
"category": "dark",
"cssMin": "http://localhost:5010/themes/cyborg/bootstrap.min.css",
"navbarClass": "navbar-dark",
"navbarBackgroundClass": "bg-dark",
"footerTextClass": "text-dark",
"footerLinkClass": "text-dark",
"footerBackgroundClass": "bg-light"
}
]
}
当然,整个项目中不仅仅是有这个themes API,还有另外2-3个服务在后台运行,项目是基于微服务架构的。为了能够让前端有统一的API接口,我使用Ocelot作为服务端的API网关,以便为Angular站点提供API服务。于是,我定义了如下ReRoute规则:
{
"ReRoutes": [
{
"DownstreamPathTemplate": "/api/themes",
"DownstreamScheme": "http",
"DownstreamHostAndPorts": [
{
"Host": "localhost",
"Port": 5010
}
],
"UpstreamPathTemplate": "/themes-api/themes",
"UpstreamHttpMethod": [ "Get" ]
}
]
}
假设API网关运行在http://localhost:9023,那么基于上面的ReRoute规则,通过访问http://localhost:9023/themes-api/themes,即可转发到后台的http://localhost:5010/api/themes,完成API的调用。运行一下,调用结果如下:
// GET http://localhost:9023/themes-api/themes
{
"version": "1.0.0",
"themes": [
{
"name": "蔚蓝 (Cerulean)",
"description": "Cerulean",
"category": "light",
"cssMin": "http://localhost:5010/themes/cerulean/bootstrap.min.css",
"navbarClass": "navbar-dark",
"navbarBackgroundClass": "bg-primary",
"footerTextClass": "text-light",
"footerLinkClass": "text-light",
"footerBackgroundClass": "bg-primary"
},
{
"name": "机械 (Cyborg)",
"description": "Cyborg",
"category": "dark",
"cssMin": "http://localhost:5010/themes/cyborg/bootstrap.min.css",
"navbarClass": "navbar-dark",
"navbarBackgroundClass": "bg-dark",
"footerTextClass": "text-dark",
"footerLinkClass": "text-dark",
"footerBackgroundClass": "bg-light"
}
]
}
看上去一切正常,但是,每个主题设置的css文件地址仍然还是指向下游服务的URL地址,比如上面的cssMin中,还是使用的http://localhost:5010。从部署的角度,外部是无法访问除了API网关以外的其它服务的,于是,这就造成了css文件无法被访问的问题。
解决这个问题的思路很简单,就是API网关在返回response的时候,将cssMin的地址替换掉。如果在Ocelot的配置中加入以下ReRoute设置:
{
"DownstreamPathTemplate": "/themes/{name}/bootstrap.min.css",
"DownstreamScheme": "http",
"DownstreamHostAndPorts": [
{
"Host": "localhost",
"Port": 5010
}
],
"UpstreamPathTemplate": "/themes-api/theme-css/{name}",
"UpstreamHttpMethod": [ "Get" ]
}
那么只需要将下游response中cssMin的值(比如http://localhost:5010/themes/cyborg/bootstrap.min.css)替换为Ocelot网关中设置的上游URL(比如http://localhost:9023/themes-api/theme-css/cyborg),然后将替换后的response返回给API调用方即可。这个过程,可以使用Ocelot中间件完成。
Ocelot中间件是继承于OcelotMiddleware类的子类,并且可以在Startup.Configure方法中,通过app.UseOcelot方法将中间件注入到Ocelot管道中,然而,简单地调用IOcelotPipelineBuilder的UseMiddleware方法是不行的,它会导致整个Ocelot网关不可用。比如下面的方法是不行的:
app.UseOcelot((builder, config) =>
{
builder.UseMiddleware<ThemeCssMinUrlReplacer>();
});
这是因为没有将Ocelot的其它Middleware加入到管道中,Ocelot管道中只有ThemeCssMinUrlReplacer中间件。要解决这个问题,我目前的方法就是通过使用扩展方法,将所有Ocelot中间全部注册好,然后再注册自定义的中间件,比如:
public static IOcelotPipelineBuilder BuildCustomOcelotPipeline(this IOcelotPipelineBuilder builder,
OcelotPipelineConfiguration pipelineConfiguration)
{
builder.UseExceptionHandlerMiddleware();
builder.MapWhen(context => context.HttpContext.WebSockets.IsWebSocketRequest,
app =>
{
app.UseDownstreamRouteFinderMiddleware();
app.UseDownstreamRequestInitialiser();
app.UseLoadBalancingMiddleware();
app.UseDownstreamUrlCreatorMiddleware();
app.UseWebSocketsProxyMiddleware();
});
builder.UseIfNotNull(pipelineConfiguration.PreErrorResponderMiddleware);
builder.UseResponderMiddleware();
builder.UseDownstreamRouteFinderMiddleware();
builder.UseSecurityMiddleware();
if (pipelineConfiguration.MapWhenOcelotPipeline != null)
{
foreach (var pipeline in pipelineConfiguration.MapWhenOcelotPipeline)
{
builder.MapWhen(pipeline);
}
}
builder.UseHttpHeadersTransformationMiddleware();
builder.UseDownstreamRequestInitialiser();
builder.UseRateLimiting();
builder.UseRequestIdMiddleware();
builder.UseIfNotNull(pipelineConfiguration.PreAuthenticationMiddleware);
if (pipelineConfiguration.AuthenticationMiddleware == null)
{
builder.UseAuthenticationMiddleware();
}
else
{
builder.Use(pipelineConfiguration.AuthenticationMiddleware);
}
builder.UseClaimsToClaimsMiddleware();
builder.UseIfNotNull(pipelineConfiguration.PreAuthorisationMiddleware);
if (pipelineConfiguration.AuthorisationMiddleware == null)
{
builder.UseAuthorisationMiddleware();
}
else
{
builder.Use(pipelineConfiguration.AuthorisationMiddleware);
}
builder.UseClaimsToHeadersMiddleware();
builder.UseIfNotNull(pipelineConfiguration.PreQueryStringBuilderMiddleware);
builder.UseClaimsToQueryStringMiddleware();
builder.UseLoadBalancingMiddleware();
builder.UseDownstreamUrlCreatorMiddleware();
builder.UseOutputCacheMiddleware();
builder.UseHttpRequesterMiddleware();
return builder;
}
然后再调用app.UseOcelot即可:
app.UseOcelot((builder, config) =>
{
builder.BuildCustomOcelotPipeline(config)
.UseMiddleware<ThemeCssMinUrlReplacer>()
.Build();
});
这种做法其实听起来不是特别的优雅,但是目前也没找到更合适的方式来解决Ocelot中间件注册的问题。
以下便是ThemeCssMinUrlReplacer中间件的代码,可以看到,我们使用正则表达式替换了cssMin的URL部分,使得css文件的地址可以正确被返回:
public class ThemeCssMinUrlReplacer : OcelotMiddleware
{
private readonly Regex regex = new Regex(@"\w+://[a-zA-Z0-9]+(\:\d+)?/themes/(?<theme_name>[a-zA-Z0-9_]+)/bootstrap.min.css");
private const string ReplacementTemplate = "/themes-api/theme-css/{name}";
private readonly OcelotRequestDelegate next;
public ThemeCssMinUrlReplacer(OcelotRequestDelegate next,
IOcelotLoggerFactory loggerFactory) : base(loggerFactory.CreateLogger<ThemeCssMinUrlReplacer2>())
=> this.next = next;
public async Task Invoke(DownstreamContext context)
{
if (!string.Equals(context.DownstreamReRoute.DownstreamPathTemplate.Value, "/api/themes"))
{
await next(context);
}
var downstreamResponseString = await context.DownstreamResponse.Content.ReadAsStringAsync();
var downstreamResponseJson = JObject.Parse(downstreamResponseString);
var themesArray = (JArray)downstreamResponseJson["themes"];
foreach (var token in themesArray)
{
var cssMinToken = token["cssMin"];
var cssMinValue = cssMinToken.Value<string>();
if (regex.IsMatch(cssMinValue))
{
var themeName = regex.Match(cssMinValue).Groups["theme_name"].Value;
var replacement = $"{context.HttpContext.Request.Scheme}://{context.HttpContext.Request.Host}{ReplacementTemplate}"
.Replace("{name}", themeName);
cssMinToken.Replace(replacement);
}
}
context.DownstreamResponse = new DownstreamResponse(
new StringContent(downstreamResponseJson.ToString(Formatting.None), Encoding.UTF8, "application/json"),
context.DownstreamResponse.StatusCode, context.DownstreamResponse.Headers, context.DownstreamResponse.ReasonPhrase);
}
}
执行结果如下:
// GET http://localhost:9023/themes-api/themes
{
"version": "1.0.0",
"themes": [
{
"name": "蔚蓝 (Cerulean)",
"description": "Cerulean",
"category": "light",
"cssMin": "http://localhost:9023/themes-api/theme-css/cerulean",
"navbarClass": "navbar-dark",
"navbarBackgroundClass": "bg-primary",
"footerTextClass": "text-light",
"footerLinkClass": "text-light",
"footerBackgroundClass": "bg-primary"
},
{
"name": "机械 (Cyborg)",
"description": "Cyborg",
"category": "dark",
"cssMin": "http://localhost:9023/themes-api/theme-css/cyborg",
"navbarClass": "navbar-dark",
"navbarBackgroundClass": "bg-dark",
"footerTextClass": "text-dark",
"footerLinkClass": "text-dark",
"footerBackgroundClass": "bg-light"
}
]
}
本文介绍了使用Ocelot中间件实现下游服务response body的替换任务,在ThemeCssMinUrlReplacer的实现代码中,我们使用了context.DownstreamReRoute.DownstreamPathTemplate.Value来判断当前执行的URL是否需要由该中间件进行处理,以避免不必要的中间件逻辑执行。这个设计可以再优化一下,使用一个简单的框架让程序员可以通过Ocelot的配置文件来更为灵活地使用Ocelot中间件,下文介绍这部分内容。
