ServiceStack v8.1 Release
ServiceStack v8.1 is here with a host of new features including full integration with Identity Auth, ASP .NET IOC, Endpoint Routing, System.Text.Json APIs, enhanced Admin UIs with JWT support, and much more!
The episode takes a deep dive into ServiceStack v8.1 focusing on the full integration with ASP.NET Core 8, which simplifies development by leveraging ASP.NET Core's features for authentication, dependency injection, routing, and JSON serialization. It explains how to migrate existing projects to utilize these features, including the transition from Funq IOC to ASP.NET Core IOC and the adoption of Endpoint Routing.
ServiceStack v8.1 also offers enhancements to the OpenAPI v3 and Swagger UI integration, enabling users to easily generate and customize API documentation and concludes by discussing new features added for Blazor development, including InteractiveAuto mode, which provides a faster initial load time and a more responsive UI, and updates to the ServiceStack.Blazor components for increased productivity.
