Is it a good practice to create middleware for making every HTTP request transactional in ASP.NET Core?
I’m considering implementing a middleware in my ASP.NET Core application that will wrap every HTTP request in a database transaction. The idea is to ensure that all operations within a request are atomic.
Is it a good practice in real world applications?
Here is my implementation:
public class TransactionMiddleware
{
private readonly RequestDelegate _next;
public TransactionMiddleware(RequestDelegate next)
{
_next = next;
}
public async Task InvokeAsync(HttpContext context, DbContext dbContext)
{
// Start a new transaction
using (var transaction = await dbContext.Database.BeginTransactionAsync())
{
try
{
// Call the next middleware in the pipeline
await _next(context);
// Commit the transaction if no exception occurs
await transaction.CommitAsync();
}
catch
{
// Rollback the transaction if an exception occurs
await transaction.RollbackAsync();
throw;
}
}
}
}
and program.cs part:
// Use the transaction middleware
app.UseMiddleware<TransactionMiddleware>();
