How to Use Node Services in ASP.NET Core

You can use easily use Node.js in your ASP.NET Core application with Microsoft.AspNetCore.NodeServices package. Add the Node Services middleware to the request pipeline. You can do it in your ConfigureServices() method.

 

        //Startup.cs
       //Use this method to add services to the container.
        public void ConfigureServices(IServiceCollection services)
        {
            services.Configure<CookiePolicyOptions>(options =>
            {
                // This lambda determines whether user consent for non-essential cookies is needed for a given request.
                options.CheckConsentNeeded = context => true;
                options.MinimumSameSitePolicy = SameSiteMode.None;
            });


            services.AddMvc().SetCompatibilityVersion(CompatibilityVersion.Version_2_1);
            services.AddNodeServices();
        }

Now you’re able to get instances of INodeServices in your application. INodeServices is the API through which .NET code can make calls into JavaScript that runs in a Node environment. You can use the FromServices attribute to get the instance of `INodeServices’ in your action method. Here is Add method implementation in MVC.

 

        //HomeController.cs
        public async Task<IActionResult> Add([FromServices] INodeServices nodeServices)
        {
            var num1 = 10;
            var num2 = 20;
            var result = await nodeServices.InvokeAsync<int>("AddModule.js", num1, num2);
            ViewData["ResultFromNode"] = $"Result of {num1} + {num2} is {result}";
            return View();
        }

And here is the code of the AddModule.js file.

 

module.exports = function(callback, num1, num2) { 
  var result = num1 + num2;
  callback(null, result); 
};
