Getting a list of all users stored in a IAuthRepository

Question

Looks like there is no method to retrieve a List from the IAuthRepository or do I miss something?

I use the Redis implementation, so I need a couple of hashes or Alias keys to do some filtering too. Any hints how I can do this without implementing a custom version of all those interfaces?

I have implemented my own version of IUserAuth and there are a few new props I need and I like to search for. So where is the best place to:

1. Create some aliases / hashes to get quick access to users with certain properties. I guess it needs some special implementation of CreateUserAuth(...) methods but don't know where to start without breaking other things...
2. Is there any way to quickly extend the Redis implementation of IAuthRepository to get
   • a list of all users
   • lists of users matching certain criteria (keys stored under 1.)

UPDATE:

Problem 1 is solved. Created my own repo and injected it in the service. There I can do simply:

using (var redis = RedisManager.GetClient())
{
    var appUsers = redis.As<IUserAuth>();
    foundUsers = (List<IUserAuth>)appUsers.GetAll();
}

Remains the question where I can add additional keys when creating a new user without 'destroying' other functionality.

Answer 1

The easiest way to add custom properties to User Auth Info is to store it in the UserAuth Meta dictionary.

Optionally you can choose to use your own Custom UserAuth / UserAuth Details table by extending the UserAuth table, e.g:

public class CustomUserAuth : UserAuth
{
    public string MyProperty { get; set; }
}

Then registering a Redis Auth Repository that uses your custom table instead, e.g:

container.Register<IAuthRepository>(c =>
   new RedisAuthRepository<CustomUserAuth,UserAuthDetails>(
       c.Resolve<IRedisClientsManager>());
