In the previous lesson, we created a new BlobStorageReadRepository and exposed various typed instances of it through our RepositoryFactory. Today, we are going to update our FunctionServiceHelper to switch between target repositories based on a query string parameter. This will allow us to easily test our game services using different back end Azure storage solutions. … Continue reading Lesson 6.4: Refactor Services to Consume Multiple Repositories

App-Idea 5: Currency Converter
Our next app will be a Currency Converter app that allows users to enter a monetary amount and currency and then converts that amount to another currency. This conversion app uses a free currency web service to find the list of available currencies, and the conversion rates between any two currencies. We will learn how … Continue reading App-Idea 5: Currency Converter
Lesson 5.18: The Wrap
Over the course of this chapter we learned quite a bit of new technology and patterns. This chapter really focused on taking our SimpleRPG game to production in Azure and learning how to use Azure Function to build RESTful web services. We moved our game from a single, self-contained unit to retrieving game data from … Continue reading Lesson 5.18: The Wrap
Lesson 5.15: Retrieve Remaining Game Data from Services
Lesson 5.14 laid out the detailed description of the changes required to update ItemFactory to fetch ItemTemplate data from our game services. In this lesson, we're going to update the remaining factories to provide the same functionality. We will use the same patterns we did for ItemFactory and make use of the GameServiceClient to communicate … Continue reading Lesson 5.15: Retrieve Remaining Game Data from Services
Lesson 5.14: Use Service Client to Retrieve ItemTemplates From Game Services
In this lesson, we will refactor the ItemFactory to use the GameServiceClient to load item data from our game services rather than from the local resource file. We will fetch the ItemTemplates during the application startup so that any latency is part of the launch. We already have loading logic and a progress indicator at … Continue reading Lesson 5.14: Use Service Client to Retrieve ItemTemplates From Game Services
Lesson 5.13: Build Reusable Service Client for Game Engine
After spending most of this chapter working to create our game services, we are going to return to the SimpleRPG game engine. We want to replace our local game data files with requests to our game services. That way we can retrieve updated data from the services and cache it locally for the running game … Continue reading Lesson 5.13: Build Reusable Service Client for Game Engine
Lesson 5.10: Complete the Game Services
In this lesson, we're going to build out the three remaining services quickly. We will continue to use the same patterns (DTOs, repositories, and service helper class) that we've used in the previous lessons. If you need to review any of the individual patterns, please review those lessons. QuestTemplateService 1. Create the quests.json file in … Continue reading Lesson 5.10: Complete the Game Services
Lesson 5.7 Design REST Service for Data Retrieval
REST web services (Representational State Transfer) is a style of architecture based on a set of principles that describe how networked resources are defined and addressed. It is important to note that REST is a style of software architecture as opposed to a set of standards. As a result, applications or architectures are sometimes referred … Continue reading Lesson 5.7 Design REST Service for Data Retrieval
