This repo contains the technical instructions to complete an end-to-end scenario for running Logic Apps within the Dapr runtime. More information can be found on this blog.

• Install the REST Client extension for Visual Studio Code

• Install the Azure CLI

• Install the Dapr CLI

• Install version 0.8.0 of the Dapr runtime to get started.

dapr init --kubernetes --runtime-version 0.8.0

• Clone this repo

git clone https://github.com/your-azure-coach/dapr-logic-apps.git

• Log into Azure CLI and follow the instructions

az login

• Create an Azure resource group

az group create --name dapr-logic-apps --location westeurope

• Choose a unique Azure storage account name

set STORAGE_ACCOUNT_NAME=<YOUR_UNIQUE_STORAGE_ACCOUNT_NAME>

• Create an Azure storage account. This will be used for persisting the Logic Apps internal state and also as a state store and output binding.

az storage account create --name %STORAGE_ACCOUNT_NAME% --resource-group dapr-logic-apps

• List the storage account keys

az storage account keys list --account-name %STORAGE_ACCOUNT_NAME%

• Set storage account key variable (retrieve the key from the previous command result)

set STORAGE_ACCOUNT_KEY=<YOUR_STORAGE_ACCOUNT_KEY>

• Create a secret for the Azure storage account credentials

⚠️ for production usage, I highly recommend to use a secret store like Azure Key Vault

kubectl create secret generic dapr-workflows --from-literal=accountName=%STORAGE_ACCOUNT_NAME% --from-literal=accountKey=%STORAGE_ACCOUNT_KEY%

• Create a Kubernetes Config Map to store the Logic Apps workflow definition

kubectl create configmap workflow-order-import-config --from-file ./workflows/order-import.json

• Create a Dapr State Store that points to Azure Table Storage

kubectl apply -f components/state-store-customers.yaml

• Create a Dapr Output Binding that points to Azure Blob Storage

kubectl apply -f components/output-binding-erp-orders.yaml

• Create Kubernetes deployment from the Dapr worflow image that is configured with the Logic Apps definition

kubectl apply -f deploy/workflow-order-import-app.yaml

• Wait until the deployment finished successfully

kubectl get deployment workflow-order-import-app

• Setup port forwarding, so we can easily test

kubectl port-forward deploy/workflow-order-import-app 3500:3500

• Open the requests/prerequisites.http file in Visual Studio Code and execute the required commands with the REST Client extension. This populates and validates the customer state store.

• Open the requests/tests.http file in Visual Studio Code and execute the POST command that invokes the Logic App workflow

• As a result, you should see two CSV orders appearing in the erp-orders Blob Storage container.

• Delete Kubernetes deployment

kubectl delete deployment workflow-order-import-app

• Delete the erp-orders output binding to Azure Blob Storage

kubectl delete component erp-orders

• Delete the customer-store state store on Azure Table Storage

kubectl delete component customer-store

• Delete the config map that holds the Logic Apps definition

kubectl delete configmap workflow-order-import-config

• Delete Kubernetes secrets

kubectl delete secret dapr-workflows

• Delete all Azure resources

az group delete --name dapr-logic-apps --yes
