PostgresBuilderExtensions.AddDatabase Method

Definition

Adds a PostgreSQL database to the application model.

public static Aspire.Hosting.ApplicationModel.IResourceBuilder<Aspire.Hosting.ApplicationModel.PostgresDatabaseResource> AddDatabase (this Aspire.Hosting.ApplicationModel.IResourceBuilder<Aspire.Hosting.ApplicationModel.PostgresServerResource> builder, string name, string? databaseName = default);
static member AddDatabase : Aspire.Hosting.ApplicationModel.IResourceBuilder<Aspire.Hosting.ApplicationModel.PostgresServerResource> * string * string -> Aspire.Hosting.ApplicationModel.IResourceBuilder<Aspire.Hosting.ApplicationModel.PostgresDatabaseResource>
<Extension()>
Public Function AddDatabase (builder As IResourceBuilder(Of PostgresServerResource), name As String, Optional databaseName As String = Nothing) As IResourceBuilder(Of PostgresDatabaseResource)

Parameters

builder
IResourceBuilder<PostgresServerResource>

The PostgreSQL server resource builder.

name
String

The name of the resource. This name will be used as the connection string name when referenced in a dependency.

databaseName
String

The name of the database. If not provided, this defaults to the same value as name.

Returns

A reference to the IResourceBuilder<T>.

Remarks

This resource includes built-in health checks. When this resource is referenced as a dependency using the WaitFor<T>(IResourceBuilder<T>, IResourceBuilder<IResource>) extension method then the dependent resource will wait until the Postgres database is available.

Note that by default calling AddDatabase(IResourceBuilder<PostgresServerResource>, String, String) does not result in the database being created on the Postgres server. It is expected that code within your solution will create the database. As a result if WaitFor<T>(IResourceBuilder<T>, IResourceBuilder<IResource>) is used with this resource it will wait indefinitely until the database exists.
