RavenDB.Identity

The simple and easy Identity provider for RavenDB and ASP.NET Core. Use Raven to store your users and logins.

Instructions

1. Add an AppUser class that derives from Raven.Identity.IdentityUser:

public class AppUser : Raven.Identity.IdentityUser
{
    /// <summary>
    /// A user's full name.
    /// </summary>
    public string FullName { get; set; }
}

2. In Startup.cs:

public void ConfigureServices(IServiceCollection services)
{
	// Grab our RavenSettings object from appsettings.json.
    services.Configure<RavenSettings>(Configuration.GetSection("RavenSettings"));

	// Add RavenDB and identity.
	services
		.AddRavenDbDocStore() // Create an IDocumentStore singleton from the RavenSettings.
		.AddRavenDbAsyncSession() // Create a RavenDB IAsyncDocumentSession for each request. docStore is your IDocumentStore instance. You're responsible for calling .SaveChanges after each request.
		.AddRavenDbIdentity<AppUser>(); // Use Raven to manage users and roles.

	...
}

3. In your controller actions, call .SaveChanges when you're done making changes. Typically this is done via a RavenController base class for MVC/WebAPI projects, or via an ActionFilter for Razor Pages projects.
