A simple .NET Core MVC example using the dotnetcoreDynamicJSON-RPC dynamic RPC wrapper class, which is intended to enable simple, dynamic wrapping of JSON RPC calls to Bitcoin, Elements, Liquid and other RPC enabled daemons.

Status

Runs on Windows, Linux, Mac using the .NET Core cross-platform application framework.

Tested with Bitcoin (bitcoind) and Elements (elementsd) as target daemons.

Will also work with a Liquid node.

Please see the dotnetcoreDynamicJSON-RPC page on GitHub to learn how to use it and its JSON string helper classes in more detail.

Setting up and running the MVC example on Linux

Install .Net Core 2.1 SDK

Register the Microsoft key and feed by choosing the Linux distribution you are using from the dotnet download site. It will give you the code to run and will look similar to this:

wget -q https://packages.microsoft.com/config/ubuntu/18.04/packages-microsoft-prod.deb
sudo dpkg -i packages-microsoft-prod.deb

Install the .NET SDK:

sudo add-apt-repository universe
sudo apt-get install apt-transport-https
sudo apt-get update
sudo apt-get install dotnet-sdk-2.1

Clone this repository and configure

git clone https://github.com/wintercooled/dotnetcoreDynamicJSON-RPC_MVCExample.git
cd dotnetcoreDynamicJSON-RPC_MVCExample

Amend ExampleController.cs and set the rpc details needed to connect to your Bitcoin/Elements/Liquid node etc.

Run the web app

dotnet run

Browse to https://localhost:5001/

Tidying up

You can go through and remove the extra views and controller actions (About, Contact etc.) that dotnet created if you like. I've left them in so that this example code is not that different to that used by Microsoft in their MVC tutorial.
