Can I Use HttpClientFactory In A .NET.core App Which Is Not ASP.NET Core?
Answer :
According to the documentation HttpClientFactory is a part of .Net Core 2.1, so you don't need ASP.NET to use it. And there some ways to use are described. The easiest way would be to use Microsoft.Extensions.DependencyInjection with AddHttpClient
extension method.
static void Main(string[] args) { var serviceProvider = new ServiceCollection().AddHttpClient().BuildServiceProvider(); var httpClientFactory = serviceProvider.GetService<IHttpClientFactory>(); var client = httpClientFactory.CreateClient(); }
Thanks for replies.
So it is possible to use in console app.
There are a few ways to do this, depending on what way you want to go. Here are 2:
Directly add to ServiceCollection e.g. services.AddHttpClient()
Use Generic host e.g. Add httpclientFactory in .ConfigureServices() method

As one of the answers suggests,
you do not need ASP.NET to use it
However, you need a bit of work to get it into your Dependency Injection (DI):
Install microsoft.extensions.http (has nothing to do with ASP.NET)
When configuring your DI, use this extension. it registers builders/httpclientFactory/... (have a look at its source code on github)
ServiceCollections.AddHttpClient();
if you want register HttpClient with different names/settings to communicate with different web servers (different settings, ex: different base urls)
ServiceCollection.AddHttpClient( "yourClientName", x => x.BaseAddress = new Uri("http://www.mywebserver.com"))
In case you want to add DelegateHendlers, you need to add it both to your httpClient and your DI container.
ServiceCollection .AddHttpClient(clientName, x => x.BaseAddress = new Uri("http://www.google.com")) .AddHttpMessageHandler<DummyDelegateHandler>(); ServiceCollection.AddScoped<DummyDelegateHandler>();
register your HttpClient to use HttpClientFactory
ServiceCollection.AddScoped<HttpClient>(x => x.GetService<IHttpClientFactory>().CreateClient("yourClientName"));
To resolve http client:
var client = ServiceProvider.GetService<HttpClient>();
