raspberry-pi-dotnet-core-azure-iot

This is a quick and simple demonstration of using a Raspberry Pi, C#/.NET Core, the new official .NET Core IoT library, and Azure IoT Hub.

Although this is a simple console application (will be refactored to be a new .NET Core 3 Worker Service) it demonstrates a number of best practices and maintainable code.

For example it's using dependency injection, logging, and the new IOptions configuration pattern to configure API keys and also the frequency of temperature readings.

private static ServiceProvider BuildCompositionRoot(IServiceCollection servicesCollection)
{
    var configuration = new ConfigurationBuilder()
        .AddJsonFile("appsettings.json", optional: false, reloadOnChange: true)
        .Build();
        
    var serviceProvider = new ServiceCollection()
        .AddOptions()
        .AddLogging(loggingBuilder => loggingBuilder.AddConsole())
        .Configure<AzureIoTHubConfiguration>(configuration.GetSection("AzureIoTHub"))
        .Configure<CpuTemperatureMonitorConfiguration>(configuration.GetSection("CpuTemperatureMonitor"))
        .AddTransient<IConfigurationLogger, ConfigurationLogger>()
        .AddTransient<ITemperatureReader, RaspberryPiCpuTemperatureReader>()
        .AddTransient<ICpuTemperatureMonitor, CpuTemperatureMonitor>()
        .AddTransient<App>()
        .BuildServiceProvider()
        
    return serviceProvider;
}
