NIPO Software Nfield SDK for Windows

This SDK allows you to build applications that take advantage of the Nfield services.

Requirements

A compatible framework:
- .Net Framework 4.6.1 or later
- .Net Standard 2.0 or later
- .Net Core 2.0 or later
To use this SDK to call Nfield services you need an Nfield account.

Usage

The recommended way to consume this project is to reference the NuGet package. You can install it by executing the following command in the Package Manager Console.

PM> Install-Package Nfield-SDK

Alternatively get the source code of the SDK by cloning this repository and include the Library project in your solution.

Code Samples

A comprehensive sample project can be found in the Examples folder. The basic required steps are shown below.

Create a connection.

INfieldConnection connection = NfieldConnectionFactory.Create(new Uri("https://api.nfieldmr.com/v1/"));

await connection.SignInAsync("testdomain", "user1", "password123");

Get a service.

INfieldInterviewersService interviewersService = connection.GetService<INfieldInterviewersService>();

Then you can perform any operations that you want to perform on the service, for example add an interviewer.

Interviewer interviewer = new Interviewer
{
  ClientInterviewerId = "sales123",
  FirstName = "Sales",
  LastName = "Team",
  EmailAddress = "sales@niposoftware.com",
  TelephoneNumber = "+31 20 5225989",
  UserName = "sales",
  Password = "password12"
};

await _interviewersService.AddAsync(interviewer);

Versioning

There is a file version.txt in the root of the repository containing the major.minor version. The build server will append an incrementing third digit. The number in this file should be increased in a sensible way every time the SDK is changed, using semantic versioning.

The suffixes that will be appended to the nuget package versions will be the following:

no suffix for release versions for builds from release/*
-beta for builds from master
-alpha for builds on other branches

Releases

How to create and publish a new -alpha or -beta version. These versions can only be published on a DevOps private/internal Nfield Feed:
- Create a new branch with this pattern: */ci-* or merge a commit into master
- This branch will trigger a new build in DevOps pipelines
- After the build a Release pipeline will allow to Push the new nuget version in the Nfield internal feed. These versions don't create GitHub releases.
How to create and publish a new release on the Nuget.org public Feed
- Create a new release branch Example: release/2023-P3S5
- This branch will trigger a new build in DevOps pipelines
- After the build a Release pipeline will allow to Push the new nuget version in the Nuget.org feed and it will create the GitHub release repo.
