InitialState.NET is a .NET class library that simplifies streaming event data to Initial State. http://www.initialstate.com
InitialState.Net is available for addition to your project through NuGet. Use the NuGet package manager in Visual Studio to add this library (search InitialState.NET) or download the package manually at https://www.nuget.org/packages/InitialState.NET/. The NuGet package contains a pre-compiled binary designed for use with .NET framework 4.5 or later.
For information on how to install NuGet packages, search "how to install nuget packages" on the web. There are many tutorials available online.
The following example shows you basic use of InitialState.NET. This example shows you how to create an ISStream object, connect it to a data bucket, add some event data to the stream and then stream it to Initial State.
ISStreamer stream = new ISStreamer(); // Create a new streamer
stream.ConnectBucket("api_key", "bucket_key"); // Connect the streamer to an event data bucket
stream.Eventsdata.Add(new ISEventData("itemKey", "itemValue")) // Add event data to be streamed
stream.Stream(); // Stream the event data to Initial State
stream.Close(); // Close the streamer when finishedInitialState.NET is a very simple to use library for connecting to an Initial State Data Bucket and streaming event data to. Usage consists of the following steps.
- Create an ISStreamer object.
- Connect the ISStreamer to an existing data bucket or create a new data bucket.
- Add event data to the event data collection.
- Push the data to Initial State by calling one of the Stream methods. The event data is cleared from the event data collection upon successful streaming.
- Continue adding event data and streaming or close the stream.
The ISStreamer object encapsulates an Initial State event data stream and is used to make a connection to an event data bucket and stream event data to it.
The ISEventData object respresents a single event and its corresponding data. When you create an ISEventData object you must specify a key and value pair, where the key is the name of the event data and the value is the value of the event data. Optionally you can also specify a timestamp for the event data and the event data can be configured as to whether or not that timestamp should be used when it is streamed to Initial State. If the event data is configured to not use the timestamp, then when the event data is streamed to Initial State, the timestamp will not be included and Initial State will automatically timestamp the event data with the time that it is received.
