MySQL Inbox

Reference · Applies to Brighter V10

MySQL Inbox Usage

The MySQL Inbox allows use of MySQL for Brighter's inbox support. The configuration is described in Dispatcher Configuration Reference.

For this we will need the Inbox packages for the MySQL Inbox.

• Paramore.Brighter.Inbox.MySql

private static IHostBuilder CreateHostBuilder(string[] args) =>
    Host.CreateDefaultBuilder(args)
        .ConfigureServices(hostContext, services) =>
        {
            ConfigureBrighter(hostContext, services);
        }

private static void ConfigureBrighter(HostBuilderContext hostContext, IServiceCollection services)
{
    services.AddConsumers(options =>
        {
            var configuration = new RelationalDatabaseConfiguration(connectionString,  "brighter_test", inboxTableName: "inbox_messages");            
            opt.InboxConfiguration = new InboxConfiguration(new MySqlInbox(configuration));
            ...
        });
}
...

Provisioning the MySQL Inbox Table

You have two equally valid options for creating and maintaining the Inbox table:

Option A — Let Brighter provision and migrate it for you.

Brighter ships a library that creates the Inbox table on first start and evolves its schema across Brighter releases. See Database Provisioning and Configuring Box Provisioning.

Option B — Manage the DDL yourself.

Use MySqlInboxBuilder.GetDDL() to obtain the DDL Brighter ships and apply it via your own tooling (FluentMigrator, Flyway, Liquibase, or hand-rolled scripts).

Choose based on fit; neither option is deprecated.
