Samples

ASP.NET Core Agents

A sample agent running in ASP.NET Core that runs the default agent middleware can be found in samples/aspnetcore. This agent is also used in the Docker sample.

dotnet run --project samples/aspnetcore/WebAgent.csproj

Running multiple instances

To run multiple agent instances that can communicate, you can specify the binding address and port by setting the ASPNETCORE_URLS environment variable

# Unix/Mac:
ASPNETCORE_URLS="http://localhost:5001" dotnet run --no-launch-profile --project samples/aspnetcore/WebAgent.csproj

# Windows PowerShell:
$env:ASPNETCORE_URLS="http://localhost:5001" ; dotnet run --no-launch-profile --project samples/aspnetcore/WebAgent.csproj

# Windows CMD (note: no quotes):
SET ASPNETCORE_URLS=http://localhost:5001 && dotnet run --no-launch-profile --project samples/aspnetcore/WebAgent.csproj

Note

The sample web agent doesn’t use any functionality that requires a local indy node, but if you’d like to extend the sample and test interaction with the ledger, you can run a local node using the instructions below.

Run a local Indy node with Docker

The repo contains a docker image that can be used to run a local pool with 4 nodes.

docker build -f docker/indy-pool.dockerfile -t indy_pool .
docker run -itd -p 9701-9709:9701-9709 indy_pool

Mobile Agent with Xamarin Forms

Docker container example

Running the example

At the root of the repo run:

docker-compose up

This will create an agent network with a pool and two identical agents able to communicate with each other in the network. Navigate to http://localhost:7000/ and http://localhost:8000/ to create and accept connection invitations between the different agents.

Running the unit tests

docker-compose -f docker-compose.test.yaml up --build --remove-orphans --abort-on-container-exit --exit-code-from test-agent

Note: You may need to cleanup previous docker network created using docker network prune
