This chapter shows how to work with the Eplan.IdentityClient.Authentification and Eplan.IdentityClient.Types namespaces.
First create an IEIdentityClient object and make sure you are signed in to the EPLAN Cloud:
// Create IdentityClient instance
IEIdentityClient IdentityClient = EIdentityClient.Instance;
// Make sure you are signed in to EPLAN Cloud
Task<AuthenticationData> signInData = IdentityClient.Signin();
AuthenticationData signInResult = signInData.Result;
// Check if success
if (signInResult.IsSuccess)
new Decider().Decide(EnumDecisionType.eOkDecision, "Sign in success", "Result", EnumDecisionReturn.eOK, EnumDecisionReturn.eOK);
Get example information from the user cloud profile:
// User profile information
Task<IdentityClientResponse> userProfile = IdentityClient.GetUserProfile();
IdentityClientResponse getUserProfileResult = userProfile.Result;
// Show exmaple information
if (getUserProfileResult.IsSuccess)
{
string message = $"Organization Name: {getUserProfileResult.OrganizationName},\nEmail: {getUserProfileResult.Email}";
new Decider().Decide(EnumDecisionType.eOkDecision, message, "UserProfile success", EnumDecisionReturn.eOK, EnumDecisionReturn.eOK);
}
Set the ClientId name to work with a specific API service in the EPLAN Cloud:
// ClientId of specific EPLAN Cloud API application
string ClientId = "Proper_Client_Id_Name";
Use the GetHttpClient() method to work with EPLAN Cloud API endpoints:
// Initialize httpClient object
var url = "https://api.eplan.com/estockservice/v2.0/";
HttpClient httpClient = null;
IdentityClientResponse httpClientRespone = IdentityClient.GetHttpClient(strClientId, url, ref httpClient);
// Get collections
if (httpClientRespone.IsSuccess)
{
HttpResponseMessage GetAsyncResult = httpClient.GetAsync("collections").Result;
string message = $"Status: {GetAsyncResult.StatusCode.ToString()},\nResult: {GetAsyncResult.Content.ReadAsStringAsync().Result}";
new Decider().Decide(EnumDecisionType.eOkDecision, message, "Get result", EnumDecisionReturn.eOK, EnumDecisionReturn.eOK);
}
The GetAccessToken() is called internally by GetHttpClient(), but it is still possible to use this method directly:
// Get access Token
IdentityClientResponse tokenResponse = IdentityClient.GetAccessToken(strClientId);
Sign out and exit:
// Sign out
Task<IdentityClientResponse> response = IdentityClient.Signout();
IdentityClientResponse signOutResult = response.Result;
if (signOutResult.IsSuccess)
new Decider().Decide(EnumDecisionType.eOkDecision, "Sign out success", "Result", EnumDecisionReturn.eOK, EnumDecisionReturn.eOK);
// Exit IdentityClient
IdentityClientResponse exitResponse = IdentityClient.Exit();
if (exitResponse.IsSuccess)
new Decider().Decide(EnumDecisionType.eOkDecision, "Exit success", "Result", EnumDecisionReturn.eOK, EnumDecisionReturn.eOK);
Warning about deprecated endpoints
To receive a warning when a deprecated URL is addressed, the EplanCloudResourceDeprecationEvent must be subscribed to. In the following example, a message box will pop up as soon as a deprecated endpoint is addressed:
For this purpose, an event handler is registered for the EplanCloudResourceDeprecationEvent.
// Create an IdentityClient instance
IEIdentityClient IdentityClient = EIdentityClient.Instance;
// Create an endpoint deprecation event handling
EventHandler<EplanCloudResourceDeprecationArgs> DeprecationHandler = (sender, args) =>
{
// Show a message box that displays the deprecated URL as well as the deprecation timestamp and sunset timestamp
string message = $"The Eplan URL '{args.Uri}' is depreacted. Deprecation: {args.Deprecation}. Sunset: {args.Sunset}.";
MessageBox.Show(message);
};
try
{
// Register an event handler for the EplanCloudResourceDeprecationEvent
IdentityClient.EplanCloudResourceDeprecationEvent += DeprecationHandler;
// Call an Eplan Cloud deprecated endpoint
string deprecatedURL = "yourDeprecatedEndpointURL";
HttpClient httpClient = null;
var result =
IdentityClient.GetHttpClient(strClientId, deprecatedURL, ref httpClient);
if (result.IsSuccess)
{
var response = httpClient.GetAsync(deprecatedURL).Result;
// Handle response
if (!response.IsSuccessStatusCode)
{
MessageBox.Show($"Eplan Cloud call failed. Error = {response.ReasonPhrase}");
}
// Give the deprecation message some time to pop up
MessageBox.Show("Waiting for event...");
}
else
{
MessageBox.Show(result.Error);
}
}
catch (Exception e)
{
MessageBox.Show(e.Message);
}
finally
{
// Unregister the event handler for EplanCloudResourceDeprecationEvent
IdentityClient.EplanCloudResourceDeprecationEvent -= DeprecationHandler;
}
