An extension library for Rebus to convert Rebus headers to/from a set of standardized headers. It will allow non-Rebus implementations, and other non-dotnet code, interact with Rebus.

Messages headers give basic information about the message. This library offers an extension tool to provide your own default set of standard headers with Rebus. Using a set of standardized headers will allow for different service implementations to communicate.

This extension library comes with a default header standard, which is possible to extend or override.

In short, activate the header converter extension with the AddStandardHeaderConverter() method.

using Rebus.HeaderConverterExtensions;

var handler = new BuiltinHandlerActivator();
var bus = Configure.With(handler)
    .Options(optionsConfigure =>
    {
        // Add standard header converter extension.
        // The extension will convert incoming messages with standard headers to rebus headers,
        // and convert rebus headers to standard headers on outgoing messages.
        optionsConfigure.AddStandardHeaderConverter();
    })
    .Transport(t => ...
    .Start();

Have a look at a more detailed example here:

• ./src/Rebus.HeaderConverterExtensions/Example/

The example implements a dotnet service with Rebus and a python service with Pika. The services communicates over AMQP using a RabbitMq message broker.

Test the example with Docker:

• Install python with pip, and install DockerBuildManagement build system tool:

pip install DockerBuildManagement

• Build and run example:

dbm -swarm -start
dbm -build -run example
dbm -swarm -stop

Install Docker and DockerBuildManagement to build, test and publish the solution with Docker.

pip install DockerBuildManagement

Deploy RabbitMq With Docker Swarm:

dbm -swarm -start

Build & Test Solution:

dbm -build -test

Stop RabbitMq Running On Docker Swarm:

dbm -swarm -stop

Build & Export Nuget:

dbm -build -run dotnet

Publish Nuget:

dbm -publish dotnet

Otherwise, install Dotnet Core to continue development.
