Comment créer une simple API Web de conversion de messagerie dans ASP.NET Core
Créer un microservice ou Web API pour la conversion par courrier électronique permet à d’autres applications de profiter de la fonctionnalité de convergence sans intégrer toute la bibliothèque Aspose.Email.Cette approche fournit une solution centralisée, scalable qui peut servir plusieurs clients, applications, ou systèmes.Utilisant ASP.NET Core et l’Apost LowCode Converter, vous pouvez construire un service robuste RESTful qui accepte les fichiers de courriel via les téléchargements HTTP et retourne les fichier convertis pour télécharger.
Pourquoi créer une API de conversion email?
Une API de conversion par courrier électronique dédiée offre plusieurs avantages:
- Traitement centralisé : Un service unique gère toute logique de conversion
- Cross-Platform Access : Toute application peut consommer l’API via HTTP
- Scalabilité : Déploiement indépendant et échelle basée sur la demande
- Indépendance technologique : Les clients n’ont pas besoin de dépendances .NET ou Aspose
- Microservice Architecture : Convient aux modèles d’application distribués modernes
- Gestion des ressources : contrôle centralisé des Ressources de traitement
Principaux
Avant de construire l’API de conversion email, assurez-vous que vous avez:
- ASP.NET Core 6.0 ou supérieur environnement de développement
- Visual Studio 2022 ou Visual Studio Code avec des extensions C
- Aspose.e-mail NuGet package
- Connaissance de base du design RESTful API
- Compréhension des fichiers télécharge / téléchargement dans les API Web
Étape 1 : Mettre en place le projet API
Créer un nouveau projet ASP.NET Core Web API:
dotnet new webapi -n EmailConverterApi
cd EmailConverterApi
dotnet add package Aspose.Email
dotnet add package Swashbuckle.AspNetCore
Configurer le fichier de projet (EmailConverterApi.csproj
):
<Project Sdk="Microsoft.NET.Sdk.Web">
<PropertyGroup>
<TargetFramework>net8.0</TargetFramework>
<Nullable>enable</Nullable>
<ImplicitUsings>enable</ImplicitUsings>
</PropertyGroup>
<ItemGroup>
<PackageReference Include="Aspose.Email" Version="24.3.0" />
<PackageReference Include="Swashbuckle.AspNetCore" Version="6.5.0" />
</ItemGroup>
</Project>
Étape 2 : Créer le contrôleur de conversion de courriel
Créer un contrôleur complet qui gère les opérations de conversion par courrier électronique:
using Aspose.Email.LowCode;
using Microsoft.AspNetCore.Mvc;
using System.ComponentModel.DataAnnotations;
namespace EmailConverterApi.Controllers
{
[ApiController]
[Route("api/[controller]")]
[Produces("application/json")]
public class EmailConverterController : ControllerBase
{
private readonly ILogger<EmailConverterController> _logger;
private readonly IConfiguration _configuration;
private readonly long _maxFileSize;
private readonly string[] _allowedExtensions = { ".eml", ".msg" };
private readonly string[] _supportedOutputFormats = { "html", "eml", "msg", "mhtml", "mht" };
public EmailConverterController(ILogger<EmailConverterController> logger, IConfiguration configuration)
{
_logger = logger;
_configuration = configuration;
_maxFileSize = _configuration.GetValue<long>("MaxFileSize", 10 * 1024 * 1024); // 10MB default
}
/// <summary>
/// Converts an email file to the specified format
/// </summary>
/// <param name="emailFile">The email file to convert (EML or MSG)</param>
/// <param name="format">Output format (html, eml, msg, mhtml, mht)</param>
/// <param name="filename">Optional custom filename for the output</param>
/// <returns>The converted file for download</returns>
[HttpPost("convert")]
[ProducesResponseType(typeof(FileResult), 200)]
[ProducesResponseType(typeof(ApiErrorResponse), 400)]
[ProducesResponseType(typeof(ApiErrorResponse), 500)]
public async Task<IActionResult> ConvertEmail(
[Required] IFormFile emailFile,
[FromQuery, Required] string format = "html",
[FromQuery] string? filename = null)
{
var requestId = Guid.NewGuid().ToString("N")[..8];
_logger.LogInformation("Starting conversion request {RequestId} for file: {FileName}, format: {Format}",
requestId, emailFile?.FileName, format);
try
{
// Validate request
var validationResult = ValidateRequest(emailFile, format);
if (validationResult != null)
{
_logger.LogWarning("Validation failed for request {RequestId}: {Error}", requestId, validationResult.Message);
return validationResult;
}
// Create in-memory output handler
var outputHandler = new MemoryOutputHandler();
// Perform conversion
using var inputStream = emailFile!.OpenReadStream();
await ConvertEmailInternal(inputStream, emailFile.FileName, outputHandler, format);
// Get converted content
var convertedContent = outputHandler.GetContent();
var outputFileName = filename ?? GenerateOutputFileName(emailFile.FileName, format);
var contentType = GetContentType(format);
_logger.LogInformation("Successfully converted {RequestId}: {InputFile} -> {OutputFile} ({Size} bytes)",
requestId, emailFile.FileName, outputFileName, convertedContent.Length);
// Return file for download
return File(convertedContent, contentType, outputFileName);
}
catch (Exception ex)
{
_logger.LogError(ex, "Conversion failed for request {RequestId}: {Error}", requestId, ex.Message);
return StatusCode(500, new ApiErrorResponse
{
Message = "Internal server error during conversion",
RequestId = requestId
});
}
}
/// <summary>
/// Gets information about supported formats and API capabilities
/// </summary>
[HttpGet("info")]
[ProducesResponseType(typeof(ApiInfoResponse), 200)]
public IActionResult GetApiInfo()
{
return Ok(new ApiInfoResponse
{
SupportedInputFormats = _allowedExtensions,
SupportedOutputFormats = _supportedOutputFormats,
MaxFileSizeMB = _maxFileSize / (1024 * 1024),
Version = "1.0.0",
Description = "Email format conversion API powered by Aspose.Email"
});
}
/// <summary>
/// Health check endpoint
/// </summary>
[HttpGet("health")]
[ProducesResponseType(typeof(HealthResponse), 200)]
public IActionResult HealthCheck()
{
return Ok(new HealthResponse
{
Status = "Healthy",
Timestamp = DateTime.UtcNow,
Version = "1.0.0"
});
}
private IActionResult? ValidateRequest(IFormFile? emailFile, string format)
{
if (emailFile == null || emailFile.Length == 0)
{
return BadRequest(new ApiErrorResponse { Message = "No file provided or file is empty" });
}
if (emailFile.Length > _maxFileSize)
{
return BadRequest(new ApiErrorResponse
{
Message = $"File size exceeds maximum allowed size of {_maxFileSize / (1024 * 1024)}MB"
});
}
var extension = Path.GetExtension(emailFile.FileName)?.ToLowerInvariant();
if (string.IsNullOrEmpty(extension) || !_allowedExtensions.Contains(extension))
{
return BadRequest(new ApiErrorResponse
{
Message = $"Unsupported file format. Allowed formats: {string.Join(", ", _allowedExtensions)}"
});
}
if (string.IsNullOrEmpty(format) || !_supportedOutputFormats.Contains(format.ToLowerInvariant()))
{
return BadRequest(new ApiErrorResponse
{
Message = $"Unsupported output format. Supported formats: {string.Join(", ", _supportedOutputFormats)}"
});
}
return null;
}
private static async Task ConvertEmailInternal(Stream inputStream, string fileName, IOutputHandler outputHandler, string format)
{
switch (format.ToLowerInvariant())
{
case "html":
await Converter.ConvertToHtml(inputStream, fileName, outputHandler);
break;
case "eml":
await Converter.ConvertToEml(inputStream, fileName, outputHandler);
break;
case "msg":
await Converter.ConvertToMsg(inputStream, fileName, outputHandler);
break;
case "mhtml":
await Converter.ConvertToMhtml(inputStream, fileName, outputHandler);
break;
case "mht":
await Converter.ConvertToMht(inputStream, fileName, outputHandler);
break;
default:
throw new ArgumentException($"Unsupported conversion format: {format}");
}
}
private static string GenerateOutputFileName(string inputFileName, string format)
{
var nameWithoutExtension = Path.GetFileNameWithoutExtension(inputFileName);
return $"{nameWithoutExtension}.{format.ToLowerInvariant()}";
}
private static string GetContentType(string format) => format.ToLowerInvariant() switch
{
"html" => "text/html",
"eml" => "message/rfc822",
"msg" => "application/vnd.ms-outlook",
"mhtml" => "message/rfc822",
"mht" => "message/rfc822",
_ => "application/octet-stream"
};
}
}
Étape 3 : Créer l’In-Memory Output Handler
Créez un opérateur de sortie personnalisé qui capte le contenu converti dans la mémoire:
using Aspose.Email.LowCode;
using System.Text;
namespace EmailConverterApi.Services
{
/// <summary>
/// Output handler that captures converted content in memory for API responses
/// </summary>
public class MemoryOutputHandler : IOutputHandler
{
private byte[]? _content;
private string? _fileName;
public async Task AddOutputStream(string name, Func<Stream, Task> writeAction)
{
_fileName = name;
using var memoryStream = new MemoryStream();
await writeAction(memoryStream);
_content = memoryStream.ToArray();
}
public void AddOutputStream(string name, Action<Stream> writeAction)
{
_fileName = name;
using var memoryStream = new MemoryStream();
writeAction(memoryStream);
_content = memoryStream.ToArray();
}
public byte[] GetContent()
{
return _content ?? throw new InvalidOperationException("No content has been written to this handler");
}
public string GetContentAsString()
{
var content = GetContent();
return Encoding.UTF8.GetString(content);
}
public string GetFileName()
{
return _fileName ?? throw new InvalidOperationException("No file name available");
}
public bool HasContent => _content != null && _content.Length > 0;
}
}
Étape 4 : Créer des modèles de réponse
Définir les modèles de réponse structurés pour l’API:
namespace EmailConverterApi.Models
{
/// <summary>
/// Standard error response model
/// </summary>
public class ApiErrorResponse
{
public string Message { get; set; } = string.Empty;
public string? RequestId { get; set; }
public DateTime Timestamp { get; set; } = DateTime.UtcNow;
public string? Details { get; set; }
}
/// <summary>
/// API information response model
/// </summary>
public class ApiInfoResponse
{
public string[] SupportedInputFormats { get; set; } = Array.Empty<string>();
public string[] SupportedOutputFormats { get; set; } = Array.Empty<string>();
public long MaxFileSizeMB { get; set; }
public string Version { get; set; } = string.Empty;
public string Description { get; set; } = string.Empty;
}
/// <summary>
/// Health check response model
/// </summary>
public class HealthResponse
{
public string Status { get; set; } = string.Empty;
public DateTime Timestamp { get; set; }
public string Version { get; set; } = string.Empty;
public Dictionary<string, object>? AdditionalInfo { get; set; }
}
/// <summary>
/// Conversion request model for batch operations
/// </summary>
public class BatchConversionRequest
{
public string OutputFormat { get; set; } = "html";
public bool ZipOutput { get; set; } = true;
public string? CustomPrefix { get; set; }
}
/// <summary>
/// Batch conversion result
/// </summary>
public class BatchConversionResult
{
public int TotalFiles { get; set; }
public int SuccessfulConversions { get; set; }
public int FailedConversions { get; set; }
public List<ConversionError> Errors { get; set; } = new();
public string? OutputFileName { get; set; }
}
/// <summary>
/// Individual conversion error details
/// </summary>
public class ConversionError
{
public string FileName { get; set; } = string.Empty;
public string ErrorMessage { get; set; } = string.Empty;
}
}
Étape 5: Ajouter le support de conversion Batch
Étendre le contrôleur pour soutenir les conversions de batch:
/// <summary>
/// Converts multiple email files and returns them as a ZIP archive
/// </summary>
/// <param name="emailFiles">Multiple email files to convert</param>
/// <param name="request">Batch conversion settings</param>
/// <returns>ZIP file containing all converted emails</returns>
[HttpPost("convert-batch")]
[ProducesResponseType(typeof(FileResult), 200)]
[ProducesResponseType(typeof(ApiErrorResponse), 400)]
[ProducesResponseType(typeof(ApiErrorResponse), 500)]
public async Task<IActionResult> ConvertEmailBatch(
[Required] IFormFileCollection emailFiles,
[FromForm] BatchConversionRequest request)
{
var requestId = Guid.NewGuid().ToString("N")[..8];
_logger.LogInformation("Starting batch conversion request {RequestId} for {FileCount} files, format: {Format}",
requestId, emailFiles.Count, request.OutputFormat);
try
{
if (!emailFiles.Any())
{
return BadRequest(new ApiErrorResponse { Message = "No files provided for batch conversion" });
}
if (!_supportedOutputFormats.Contains(request.OutputFormat.ToLowerInvariant()))
{
return BadRequest(new ApiErrorResponse
{
Message = $"Unsupported output format: {request.OutputFormat}"
});
}
var results = new List<(string FileName, byte[] Content, bool Success, string? Error)>();
// Process each file
foreach (var file in emailFiles)
{
try
{
var validationResult = ValidateRequest(file, request.OutputFormat);
if (validationResult != null)
{
results.Add((file.FileName, Array.Empty<byte>(), false, "Validation failed"));
continue;
}
var outputHandler = new MemoryOutputHandler();
using var inputStream = file.OpenReadStream();
await ConvertEmailInternal(inputStream, file.FileName, outputHandler, request.OutputFormat);
results.Add((file.FileName, outputHandler.GetContent(), true, null));
}
catch (Exception ex)
{
_logger.LogError(ex, "Failed to convert file {FileName} in batch {RequestId}", file.FileName, requestId);
results.Add((file.FileName, Array.Empty<byte>(), false, ex.Message));
}
}
// Create ZIP archive
var zipContent = CreateZipArchive(results, request);
var zipFileName = $"converted_emails_{DateTime.Now:yyyyMMdd_HHmmss}.zip";
_logger.LogInformation("Batch conversion {RequestId} completed: {Success}/{Total} successful",
requestId, results.Count(r => r.Success), results.Count);
return File(zipContent, "application/zip", zipFileName);
}
catch (Exception ex)
{
_logger.LogError(ex, "Batch conversion failed for request {RequestId}: {Error}", requestId, ex.Message);
return StatusCode(500, new ApiErrorResponse
{
Message = "Internal server error during batch conversion",
RequestId = requestId
});
}
}
private static byte[] CreateZipArchive(List<(string FileName, byte[] Content, bool Success, string? Error)> results, BatchConversionRequest request)
{
using var zipStream = new MemoryStream();
using (var archive = new System.IO.Compression.ZipArchive(zipStream, System.IO.Compression.ZipArchiveMode.Create, true))
{
// Add successful conversions
foreach (var (fileName, content, success, _) in results.Where(r => r.Success))
{
var outputFileName = GenerateOutputFileName(fileName, request.OutputFormat);
if (!string.IsNullOrEmpty(request.CustomPrefix))
{
outputFileName = $"{request.CustomPrefix}_{outputFileName}";
}
var entry = archive.CreateEntry(outputFileName);
using var entryStream = entry.Open();
entryStream.Write(content, 0, content.Length);
}
// Add error log if there were failures
var failures = results.Where(r => !r.Success).ToList();
if (failures.Any())
{
var errorLog = string.Join("\n", failures.Select(f => $"{f.FileName}: {f.Error}"));
var errorEntry = archive.CreateEntry("conversion_errors.txt");
using var errorStream = errorEntry.Open();
using var writer = new StreamWriter(errorStream);
writer.Write(errorLog);
}
}
return zipStream.ToArray();
}
Étape 6: Configurez l’application
Configurez l’application avec la configuration appropriée Program.cs
:
using EmailConverterApi.Services;
using Microsoft.OpenApi.Models;
var builder = WebApplication.CreateBuilder(args);
// Add services
builder.Services.AddControllers();
builder.Services.AddEndpointsApiExplorer();
builder.Services.AddSwaggerGen(c =>
{
c.SwaggerDoc("v1", new OpenApiInfo
{
Title = "Email Converter API",
Version = "v1",
Description = "RESTful API for converting email files between different formats using Aspose.Email",
Contact = new OpenApiContact
{
Name = "API Support",
Email = "support@example.com"
}
});
// Include XML comments if available
var xmlFile = $"{System.Reflection.Assembly.GetExecutingAssembly().GetName().Name}.xml";
var xmlPath = Path.Combine(AppContext.BaseDirectory, xmlFile);
if (File.Exists(xmlPath))
{
c.IncludeXmlComments(xmlPath);
}
});
// Configure file upload limits
builder.Services.Configure<IISServerOptions>(options =>
{
options.MaxRequestBodySize = 50 * 1024 * 1024; // 50MB
});
// Add CORS if needed
builder.Services.AddCors(options =>
{
options.AddPolicy("AllowAll", policy =>
{
policy.AllowAnyOrigin()
.AllowAnyHeader()
.AllowAnyMethod();
});
});
// Add logging
builder.Logging.AddConsole();
builder.Logging.AddDebug();
var app = builder.Build();
// Configure pipeline
if (app.Environment.IsDevelopment())
{
app.UseSwagger();
app.UseSwaggerUI(c =>
{
c.SwaggerEndpoint("/swagger/v1/swagger.json", "Email Converter API V1");
c.RoutePrefix = string.Empty; // Swagger at root
});
}
app.UseHttpsRedirection();
app.UseCors("AllowAll");
app.UseAuthorization();
app.MapControllers();
app.Run();
Étape 7 : Configuration
Ajoutez la configuration appsettings.json
:
{
"Logging": {
"LogLevel": {
"Default": "Information",
"Microsoft.AspNetCore": "Warning",
"EmailConverterApi": "Debug"
}
},
"AllowedHosts": "*",
"MaxFileSize": 52428800,
"ConversionSettings": {
"DefaultOutputFormat": "html",
"EnableBatchConversion": true,
"MaxBatchSize": 10,
"TempDirectory": "temp"
}
}
Étape 8 : Ajouter des erreurs pour traiter les médias
Créer l’erreur mondiale de gestion de middleware:
using System.Net;
using System.Text.Json;
namespace EmailConverterApi.Middleware
{
public class GlobalErrorHandlingMiddleware
{
private readonly RequestDelegate _next;
private readonly ILogger<GlobalErrorHandlingMiddleware> _logger;
public GlobalErrorHandlingMiddleware(RequestDelegate next, ILogger<GlobalErrorHandlingMiddleware> logger)
{
_next = next;
_logger = logger;
}
public async Task InvokeAsync(HttpContext context)
{
try
{
await _next(context);
}
catch (Exception ex)
{
_logger.LogError(ex, "An unhandled exception occurred");
await HandleExceptionAsync(context, ex);
}
}
private static async Task HandleExceptionAsync(HttpContext context, Exception exception)
{
context.Response.ContentType = "application/json";
var (statusCode, message) = exception switch
{
ArgumentException => (HttpStatusCode.BadRequest, exception.Message),
FileNotFoundException => (HttpStatusCode.NotFound, "Requested file not found"),
UnauthorizedAccessException => (HttpStatusCode.Unauthorized, "Access denied"),
NotSupportedException => (HttpStatusCode.BadRequest, "Operation not supported"),
_ => (HttpStatusCode.InternalServerError, "An error occurred while processing your request")
};
context.Response.StatusCode = (int)statusCode;
var response = new
{
message = message,
statusCode = (int)statusCode,
timestamp = DateTime.UtcNow
};
await context.Response.WriteAsync(JsonSerializer.Serialize(response));
}
}
}
// Register middleware in Program.cs
app.UseMiddleware<GlobalErrorHandlingMiddleware>();
Étape 9 : Exemples d’utilisation client
Exemples de CURL
Convertir un seul fichier:
curl -X POST "https://localhost:5001/api/emailconverter/convert?format=html" \
-H "Content-Type: multipart/form-data" \
-F "emailFile=@sample.eml" \
-o converted.html
Informations sur l’API:
curl -X GET "https://localhost:5001/api/emailconverter/info"
L’exemple client
public class EmailConverterClient
{
private readonly HttpClient _httpClient;
public EmailConverterClient(HttpClient httpClient)
{
_httpClient = httpClient;
}
public async Task<byte[]> ConvertEmailAsync(string filePath, string outputFormat = "html")
{
using var form = new MultipartFormDataContent();
using var fileStream = File.OpenRead(filePath);
using var fileContent = new StreamContent(fileStream);
fileContent.Headers.ContentType = new System.Net.Http.Headers.MediaTypeHeaderValue("application/octet-stream");
form.Add(fileContent, "emailFile", Path.GetFileName(filePath));
var response = await _httpClient.PostAsync($"/api/emailconverter/convert?format={outputFormat}", form);
response.EnsureSuccessStatusCode();
return await response.Content.ReadAsByteArrayAsync();
}
}
Exemple de client JavaScript
async function convertEmail(file, format = 'html') {
const formData = new FormData();
formData.append('emailFile', file);
const response = await fetch(`/api/emailconverter/convert?format=${format}`, {
method: 'POST',
body: formData
});
if (!response.ok) {
throw new Error(`Conversion failed: ${response.statusText}`);
}
return await response.blob();
}
