Csla 6 Custom HttpProxy

[JacoJordaan]

In Csla 5 this works: CslaConfiguration.Configure().DataPortal().DefaultProxy(typeof(SmartHttpProxy), "Local");

How would configure a custom HttpProxy in Csla 6?

In CSLA 6 the way to use the default HttpProxy is like this:

  services.AddCsla(o=>o
     .DataPortal()
       .UseHttpProxy(options => options.DataPortalUrl = "/api/DataPortal"));

For a custom proxy type, prior to calling AddCsla, you would (more or less) do this:

  services.AddTransient(typeof(IDataPortalProxy), typeof(MyCustomProxy));
  services.AddCsla();

If you want to see how the UseHttpProxy extension method is implemented (thus allowing configuration values like the URL), you can see the code here:

I have a question on this. In CSLA 5, we had the Csla.ApplicationContext.DataPortalProxy and Csla.ApplicationContext.DataPortalUrlString static properties that allowed changing the values at runtime (eg: switching from local to remote at an arbitrary time).

In principle, it doesn't appear that Dependency Injection supports that concept. Would you say changing the proxy/url is simply not a thing we could do anymore?

@GreatBarrier86 can you make this a new thread so it doesn't get lost?
