# Dapr Integration Skill
## Quick Start
1. **Read Phase 5 Constitution** - `constitution-prompt-phase-5.md`
2. **Check Dapr installation** - `dapr --version`
3. **Initialize Dapr** - `dapr init` or `dapr init -k` for Kubernetes
4. **Create component files** - In `dapr-components/` directory
5. **Configure sidecar** - Annotations for Kubernetes deployments
6. **Test locally** - `dapr run` commands
## Dapr Building Blocks Overview
| Building Block | Purpose | Phase 5 Usage |
|----------------|---------|---------------|
| **Pub/Sub** | Event messaging | Task events, reminders, audit logs |
| **State** | Key-value storage | Cache, session state |
| **Secrets** | Secret management | API keys, DB credentials |
| **Service Invocation** | Service-to-service calls | Microservice communication |
| **Jobs API** | Scheduled tasks | Recurring task scheduling |
## Component Configuration
### Pub/Sub Component (Kafka)
Create `dapr-components/pubsub.yaml`:
```yaml
apiVersion: dapr.io/v1alpha1
kind: Component
metadata:
name: taskpubsub
namespace: todo-app
spec:
type: pubsub.kafka
version: v1
metadata:
- name: brokers
value: "kafka:9092"
- name: consumerGroup
value: "todo-consumer-group"
- name: authType
value: "none"
- name: disableTls
value: "true"
scopes:
- backend
- notification-service
- recurring-service
- audit-service
```
### State Store Component
Create `dapr-components/statestore.yaml`:
```yaml
apiVersion: dapr.io/v1alpha1
kind: Component
metadata:
name: statestore
namespace: todo-app
spec:
type: state.redis
version: v1
metadata:
- name: redisHost
value: "redis:6379"
- name: redisPassword
value: ""
- name: actorStateStore
value: "true"
scopes:
- backend
```
### Secrets Component
Create `dapr-components/secrets.yaml`:
```yaml
apiVersion: dapr.io/v1alpha1
kind: Component
metadata:
name: kubernetes-secrets
namespace: todo-app
spec:
type: secretstores.kubernetes
version: v1
metadata: []
```
## Python SDK Integration
### Installation
```bash
uv add dapr dapr-ext-fastapi
```
### Pub/Sub Publisher
```python
from dapr.clients import DaprClient
async def publish_task_event(event_type: str, task_data: dict):
"""Publish task event to Kafka via Dapr."""
with DaprClient() as client:
client.publish_event(
pubsub_name="taskpubsub",
topic_name="task-events",
data=json.dumps({
"event_type": event_type,
"task": task_data,
"timestamp": datetime.utcnow().isoformat()
}),
data_content_type="application/json"
)
```
### Pub/Sub Subscriber (FastAPI)
```python
from dapr.ext.fastapi import DaprApp
from fastapi import FastAPI
app = FastAPI()
dapr_app = DaprApp(app)
@dapr_app.subscribe(pubsub="taskpubsub", topic="task-events")
async def handle_task_event(event: dict):
"""Handle incoming task events."""
event_type = event.get("event_type")
task_data = event.get("task")
if event_type == "task.created":
await process_new_task(task_data)
elif event_type == "task.completed":
await process_completed_task(task_data)
```
### State Management
```python
from dapr.clients import DaprClient
async def save_state(key: str, value: dict):
"""Save state to Dapr state store."""
with DaprClient() as client:
client.save_state(
store_name="statestore",
key=key,
value=json.dumps(value)
)
async def get_state(key: str) -> dict | None:
"""Get state from Dapr state store."""
with DaprClient() as client:
state = client.get_state(store_name="statestore", key=key)
return json.loads(state.data) if state.data else None
```
### Service Invocation
```python
from dapr.clients import DaprClient
async def invoke_notification_service(user_id: str, message: str):
"""Invoke notification service via Dapr."""
with DaprClient() as client:
response = client.invoke_method(
app_id="notification-service",
method_name="send",
data=json.dumps({
"user_id": user_id,
"message": message
}),
http_verb="POST"
)
return response.json()
```
### Jobs API (Scheduled Tasks)
```python
from dapr.clients import DaprClient
async def schedule_reminder(reminder_id: str, due_at: datetime):
"""Schedule a reminder using Dapr Jobs API."""
with DaprClient() as client:
# Create a scheduled job
client.start_workflow(
workflow_component="dapr",
workflow_name="reminder-workflow",
input={
"reminder_id": reminder_id,
"scheduled_time": due_at.isoformat()
}
)
```
## Kubernetes Deployment Annotations
```yaml
apiVersion: apps/v1
kind: Deployment
metadata:
name: backend
spec:
template:
metadata:
annotations:
dapr.io/enabled: "true"
dapr.io/app-id: "backend"
dapr.io/app-port: "8000"
dapr.io/enable-api-logging: "true"
dapr.io/log-level: "info"
dapr.io/config: "dapr-config"
spec:
containers:
- name: backend
image: evolution-todo/backend:latest
```
## Local Development with Dapr
### Run with Dapr Sidecar
```bash
# Run backend with Dapr
dapr run --app-id backend \
--app-port 8000 \
--dapr-http-port 3500 \
--components-path ./dapr-components \
-- uv run uvicorn src.main:app --host 0.0.0.0 --port 8000
# Run notification service with Dapr
dapr run --app-id notification-service \
--app-port 8002 \
--dapr-http-port 3502 \
--components-path ./dapr-components \
-- uv run uvicorn services.notification.main:app --host 0.0.0.0 --port 8002
```
### Test Pub/Sub
```bash
# Publish test event
dapr publish --publish-app-id backend \
--pubsub taskpubsub \
--topic task-events \
--data '{"event_type":"task.created","task":{"id":"123","title":"Test"}}'
```
## Verification Checklist
- [ ] Dapr CLI installed (`dapr --version`)
- [ ] Dapr initialized (`dapr init` or `dapr init -k`)
- [ ] Component files created in `dapr-components/`
- [ ] Python SDK installed (`dapr`, `dapr-ext-fastapi`)
- [ ] Pub/Sub working (publish → subscribe)
- [ ] State store working (save → get)
- [ ] Service invocation working
- [ ] Kubernetes annotations configured
- [ ] All services have Dapr sidecars
## Event Topics
| Topic | Publisher | Subscribers | Purpose |
|-------|-----------|-------------|---------|
| `task-events` | Backend | Notification, Audit, WebSocket | Task CRUD events |
| `reminder-events` | Recurring Service | Notification, Backend | Reminder triggers |
| `audit-events` | All Services | Audit Service | Audit logging |
## Troubleshooting
| Issue | Cause | Solution |
|-------|-------|----------|
| Sidecar not starting | Missing annotations | Add `dapr.io/enabled: "true"` |
| Pub/Sub not working | Component not loaded | Check component scope |
| Connection refused | Wrong port | Verify `app-port` matches app |
| State not persisting | Redis not running | Start Redis container |
