# Description of Changes This exposes JWT claims for csharp modules, similar to how they are exposed to rust modules in https://github.com/clockworklabs/SpacetimeDB/pull/3288. This adds the new types `AuthCtx` and `JwtClaims`, and adds an `AuthCtx` to the `ReducerContext`. `AuthCtx` represents the credentials associated with the request, and `JwtClaims` represents a jwt token. One difference from the rust version is that I didn't create helpers to build an `AuthCtx` from a jwt payload. The reason is that we would need to be able to compute the identity from the payload claims, which requires a blake3 hash implementation. The first two c# libraries I found had issues at runtime ([Blake3](https://www.nuget.org/packages/Blake3) is wrapping a rust implementation, and [HashifyNet](https://github.com/Deskasoft/HashifyNET/tree/main/HashifyNet/Algorithms/Blake3) seems to be broken by our trimming because it uses reflection heavily). I can look into taking the implementation from `HashifyNet`, since it is MIT licensed, but I don't think we need to block merging on that. # API and ABI breaking changes This adds the new types `AuthCtx` and `JwtClaims`, and adds an `AuthCtx` to the `ReducerContext`. This also adds a csharp wrapper for the get_jwt ABI function added in https://github.com/clockworklabs/SpacetimeDB/pull/3288. # Expected complexity level and risk 2. # Testing This has a very minimal unit test of JwtClaims. I manually tested using this locally with the csharp quickstart, and I was able to print jwt tokens inside the module.
SpacetimeDB.Codegen
This project contains Roslyn incremental source generators that augment types and tables with static methods for self-describing and registration. They look for different attributes to know which types to augment:
-
[SpacetimeDB.Type]- generates aGetSatsTypeInfo()static method that registers this type with the runtime and returns aTypeInfoobject. It supports onlystructs for now to explicitly forbid infinitely recursive types and to make the implementation simpler, as it doesn't need to deal with type references - each table is registered as an entirely self-contained type together with its nested structs if any. This is unlikely to be a problem in common scenarios, but it will be optimised in the future.All the nested fields will be added to the product type. Because it's not possible to implement static extension methods on 3rd-party types (including built-ins) in C#, the codegen is responsible for manually routing different types to their
TypeInfodescriptors. See various staticTypeInfoproperties and helper methods onSpacetimeDB.BSATN.AlgebraicType(Runtime/AlgebraicType.cs) and routing logic inUtils.GetTypeInfo(Codegen/Utils.cs) for more details.Also, for the same reason - absence of static extension methods in C# - the codegen expects that your struct, as well as any of its parents, is
partialso methods can be added from extra source files generated by the codegen. -
[SpacetimeDB.Type]- also supports emulation of tagged enums in C#. For that, the struct needs to inherit a marker interfaceSpacetimeDB.TaggedEnum<Variants>whereVariantsis a named tuple of all possible variants, e.g.:[SpacetimeDB.Type] partial record Option<T> : SpacetimeDB.TaggedEnum<(T Some, Unit None)>;will generate inherited records
Option.Some(T Some_)andOption.None(Unit None_). It allows you to use tagged enums in C# in a similar way to Rust enums by leveraging C# pattern-matching on any instance ofOption<T>. -
[SpacetimeDB.Table]- generates code to register this table in theFFIupon startup so that they can be enumerated by the__describe_module__FFI API. It implies[SpacetimeDB.Type], so you must not specify both attributes on the same struct.The fields can be marked with
[SpacetimeDB.ColumnAttrs]and those will be detected by the codegen and passed on to the runtime as well. Example:[SpacetimeDB.Table] public partial struct Person { [SpacetimeDB.Column(ColumnAttrs.Identity)] public int Id; public string Name; } -
[SpacetimeDB.Reducer]- generates code to register a static function as a SpacetimeDB reducer in theFFIupon startup and creates a wrapper that will parse SATS binary blob into individual arguments and invoke the underlying function for the__call_reducer__FFI API.
