A day in the life of an Optimizely OMVP - Opti Graph Extensions add-on v1.0.0 released
dotnet add package OptiGraphExtensionsservices.AddOptiGraphExtensions(options =>
{
options.ConnectionStringName = "EPiServerDB";
});
app.UseOptiGraphExtensions();3. As this is a Blazor-based admin interface, ensure that Blazor server-side is set up in your Optimizely CMS project.
// Add Blazor services
services.AddServerSideBlazor();
// Map Blazor hub
app.UseEndpoints(endpoints =>
{
endpoints.MapContent();
endpoints.MapBlazorHub();
endpoints.MapControllers();
});4. Add your Graph instance configuration to appsettings.json, this information can be found within PaaSPortal for a PaaS instance of Optimizely CMS12 and within the dashboard of a SaaS instance of Optimizely CMS 12
"Optimizely": {
"ContentGraph": {
"GatewayAddress": "<your graph instance gateway address>",
"AppKey": "<your graph instance key>",
"Secret": "<your graph instance secret>"
}
}5. Additional Configuration Customisation
The configuration of the module has some scope for modification by providing configuration in the service extension methods. Both the provision of optiGraphExtensionsSetupOptions and authorizationOptions are optional in the following example.
Example:
services.AddOptiGraphExtensions(optiGraphExtensionsSetupOptions =>
{
optiGraphExtensionsSetupOptions.ConnectionStringName = "EPiServerDB";
},
authorizationOptions =>
{
authorizationOptions.AddPolicy(OptiGraphExtensionsConstants.AuthorizationPolicy, policy =>
{
policy.RequireRole("WebAdmins");
});
});
Authentication With Optimizely Opti ID
If you are using the new Optimizely Opti ID package for authentication into Optimizely CMS and the rest of the Optimizely One suite, then you will need to define the `authorizationOptions` for this module as part of your application start up. This should be a simple case of adding `policy.AddAuthenticationSchemes(OptimizelyIdentityDefaults.SchemeName);` to the `authorizationOptions` as per the example below.
serviceCollection.AddOptiGraphExtensions(optiGraphExtensionsSetupOptions =>
{
optiGraphExtensionsSetupOptions.ConnectionStringName = "EPiServerDB";
},
authorizationOptions =>
{
authorizationOptions.AddPolicy(OptiGraphExtensionsConstants.AuthorizationPolicy, policy =>
{
policy.AddAuthenticationSchemes(OptimizelyIdentityDefaults.SchemeName);
policy.RequireRole("WebAdmins");
});
});6. Navigate to the Optimizely admin interface where you'll find the new "Opti Graph Extensions" menu item.
