Quickstart: State Management

Get started with Dapr’s State Management building block

Let’s take a look at Dapr’s State Management building block. In this Quickstart, you will save, get, and delete state using a Redis state store by either:

While this sample uses Redis, you can swap it out for any one of the supported state stores.

Run using Multi-App Run

Select your preferred language-specific Dapr SDK before proceeding with the Quickstart.


Pre-requisites

For this example, you will need:

Step 1: Set up the environment

Clone the sample provided in the Quickstarts repo.

git clone https://github.com/dapr/quickstarts.git

Step 2: Manipulate service state

In a terminal window, navigate to the order-processor directory.

cd state_management/python/sdk/order-processor

Install the dependencies:

pip3 install -r requirements.txt 

Run the order-processor service alongside a Dapr sidecar using Multi-App Run.

dapr run -f .

Note: Since Python3.exe is not defined in Windows, you may need to change python3 to python in the dapr.yaml file before running dapr run -f .

The order-processor service writes, reads, and deletes an orderId key/value pair to the statestore instance defined in the statestore.yaml component. As soon as the service starts, it performs a loop.

with DaprClient() as client:

    # Save state into the state store
    client.save_state(DAPR_STORE_NAME, orderId, str(order))
    logging.info('Saving Order: %s', order)

    # Get state from the state store
    result = client.get_state(DAPR_STORE_NAME, orderId)
    logging.info('Result after get: ' + str(result.data))

    # Delete state from the state store
    client.delete_state(store_name=DAPR_STORE_NAME, key=orderId)
    logging.info('Deleting Order: %s', order)

Step 3: View the order-processor outputs

Notice, as specified in the code above, the code saves application state in the Dapr state store, reads it, then deletes it.

Order-processor output:

== APP == INFO:root:Saving Order: {'orderId': '1'}
== APP == INFO:root:Result after get: b"{'orderId': '1'}"
== APP == INFO:root:Deleting Order: {'orderId': '1'}

== APP == INFO:root:Result after get: b"{'orderId': '4'}"
== APP == INFO:root:Deleting Order: {'orderId': '4'}
dapr.yaml Multi-App Run template file

When you run dapr init, Dapr creates a default Multi-App Run template file named dapr.yaml. Running dapr run -f starts all applications in your project. In this sample, the dapr.yaml file contains the following:

version: 1
common:
  resourcesPath: ../../resources/
apps:
  - appID: order-processor
    appDirPath: ./order-processor/
    command: ["python3" , "app.py"]
statestore.yaml component file

When you run dapr init, Dapr also creates a default Redis statestore.yaml and runs a Redis container on your local machine, located:

  • On Windows, under %UserProfile%\.dapr\components\statestore.yaml
  • On Linux/MacOS, under ~/.dapr/components/statestore.yaml

With the statestore.yaml component, you can easily swap out the state store without making code changes.

The Redis statestore.yaml file included for this quickstart contains the following:

apiVersion: dapr.io/v1alpha1
kind: Component
metadata:
  name: statestore
spec:
  type: state.redis
  version: v1
  metadata:
  - name: redisHost
    value: localhost:6379
  - name: redisPassword
    value: ""
  - name: actorStateStore
    value: "true"

In the YAML file:

  • metadata/name is how your application talks to the component (called DAPR_STORE_NAME in the code sample).
  • spec/metadata defines the connection to the Redis instance used by the component.

Pre-requisites

For this example, you will need:

Step 1: Set up the environment

Clone the sample provided in the Quickstarts repo.

git clone https://github.com/dapr/quickstarts.git

Step 2: Manipulate service state

In a terminal window, navigate to the order-processor directory.

cd state_management/javascript/sdk/order-processor

Install the dependencies:

npm install

Run the order-processor service alongside a Dapr sidecar.

dapr run -f .

The order-processor service writes, reads, and deletes an orderId key/value pair to the statestore instance defined in the statestore.yaml component. As soon as the service starts, it performs a loop.

const client = new DaprClient()

// Save state into a state store
await client.state.save(DAPR_STATE_STORE_NAME, order)
console.log("Saving Order: ", order)

// Get state from a state store
const savedOrder = await client.state.get(DAPR_STATE_STORE_NAME, order.orderId)
console.log("Getting Order: ", savedOrder)

// Delete state from the state store
await client.state.delete(DAPR_STATE_STORE_NAME, order.orderId)
console.log("Deleting Order: ", order)

When you run dapr init, Dapr creates a default Redis statestore.yaml and runs a Redis container on your local machine, located:

  • On Windows, under %UserProfile%\.dapr\components\statestore.yaml
  • On Linux/MacOS, under ~/.dapr/components/statestore.yaml

With the statestore.yaml component, you can easily swap out the state store without making code changes.

The Redis statestore.yaml file included for this quickstart contains the following:

apiVersion: dapr.io/v1alpha1
kind: Component
metadata:
  name: statestore
spec:
  type: state.redis
  version: v1
  metadata:
  - name: redisHost
    value: localhost:6379
  - name: redisPassword
    value: ""
  - name: actorStateStore
    value: "true"

In the YAML file:

  • metadata/name is how your application talks to the component (called DAPR_STORE_NAME in the code sample).
  • spec/metadata defines the connection to the Redis instance used by the component.

Pre-requisites

For this example, you will need:

Step 1: Set up the environment

Clone the sample provided in the Quickstarts repo.

git clone https://github.com/dapr/quickstarts.git

Step 2: Manipulate service state

In a terminal window, navigate to the order-processor directory.

cd state_management/java/sdk/order-processor

Install the dependencies:

mvn clean install

Run the order-processor service alongside a Dapr sidecar.

dapr run --app-id order-processor --resources-path ../../../resources -- java -jar target/OrderProcessingService-0.0.1-SNAPSHOT.jar

The order-processor service writes, reads, and deletes an orderId key/value pair to the statestore instance defined in the statestore.yaml component. As soon as the service starts, it performs a loop.

try (DaprClient client = new DaprClientBuilder().build()) {
  for (int i = 1; i <= 10; i++) {
    int orderId = i;
    Order order = new Order();
    order.setOrderId(orderId);

    // Save state into the state store
    client.saveState(DAPR_STATE_STORE, String.valueOf(orderId), order).block();
    LOGGER.info("Saving Order: " + order.getOrderId());

    // Get state from the state store
    State<Order> response = client.getState(DAPR_STATE_STORE, String.valueOf(orderId), Order.class).block();
    LOGGER.info("Getting Order: " + response.getValue().getOrderId());

    // Delete state from the state store
    client.deleteState(DAPR_STATE_STORE, String.valueOf(orderId)).block();
    LOGGER.info("Deleting Order: " + orderId);
    TimeUnit.MILLISECONDS.sleep(1000);
  }

Step 3: View the order-processor outputs

Notice, as specified in the code above, the code saves application state in the Dapr state store, reads it, then deletes it.

Order-processor output:

== APP == INFO:root:Saving Order: {'orderId': '1'}
== APP == INFO:root:Result after get: b"{'orderId': '1'}"
== APP == INFO:root:Deleting Order: {'orderId': '1'}
== APP == INFO:root:Saving Order: {'orderId': '2'}
== APP == INFO:root:Result after get: b"{'orderId': '2'}"
== APP == INFO:root:Deleting Order: {'orderId': '2'}
== APP == INFO:root:Saving Order: {'orderId': '3'}
== APP == INFO:root:Result after get: b"{'orderId': '3'}"
== APP == INFO:root:Deleting Order: {'orderId': '3'}
== APP == INFO:root:Saving Order: {'orderId': '4'}
== APP == INFO:root:Result after get: b"{'orderId': '4'}"
== APP == INFO:root:Deleting Order: {'orderId': '4'}
statestore.yaml component file

When you run dapr init, Dapr creates a default Redis statestore.yaml and runs a Redis container on your local machine, located:

  • On Windows, under %UserProfile%\.dapr\components\statestore.yaml
  • On Linux/MacOS, under ~/.dapr/components/statestore.yaml

With the statestore.yaml component, you can easily swap out the state store without making code changes.

The Redis statestore.yaml file included for this Quickstart contains the following:

apiVersion: dapr.io/v1alpha1
kind: Component
metadata:
  name: statestore
spec:
  type: state.redis
  version: v1
  metadata:
  - name: redisHost
    value: localhost:6379
  - name: redisPassword
    value: ""
  - name: actorStateStore
    value: "true"

In the YAML file:

  • metadata/name is how your application talks to the component (called DAPR_STORE_NAME in the code sample).
  • spec/metadata defines the connection to the Redis instance used by the component.

Pre-requisites

For this example, you will need:

Step 1: Set up the environment

Clone the sample provided in the Quickstarts repo.

git clone https://github.com/dapr/quickstarts.git

Step 2: Manipulate service state

In a terminal window, navigate to the order-processor directory.

cd state_management/go/sdk/order-processor

Install the dependencies and build the application:

go build .

Run the order-processor service alongside a Dapr sidecar.

dapr run --app-id order-processor --resources-path ../../../resources -- go run .

The order-processor service writes, reads, and deletes an orderId key/value pair to the statestore instance defined in the statestore.yaml component. As soon as the service starts, it performs a loop.

  client, err := dapr.NewClient()

  // Save state into the state store
  _ = client.SaveState(ctx, STATE_STORE_NAME, strconv.Itoa(orderId), []byte(order))
  log.Print("Saving Order: " + string(order))

  // Get state from the state store
  result, _ := client.GetState(ctx, STATE_STORE_NAME, strconv.Itoa(orderId))
  fmt.Println("Getting Order: " + string(result.Value))

  // Delete state from the state store
  _ = client.DeleteState(ctx, STATE_STORE_NAME, strconv.Itoa(orderId))
  log.Print("Deleting Order: " + string(order))

Step 3: View the order-processor outputs

Notice, as specified in the code above, the code saves application state in the Dapr state store, reads it, then deletes it.
