Samhammer.TimedHostedService

This package provides a hosted service that can run periodically.

The concept is from this documentation: https://docs.microsoft.com/en-us/aspnet/core/fundamentals/host/hosted-services?view=aspnetcore-3.1&tabs=visual-studio

How to add this to your project:

• reference this nuget package: https://www.nuget.org/packages/Samhammer.TimedHostedService/

How to use:

Implement a class that inherits TimedHostedService.

public class MyHostedService : TimedHostedService<IMyService>
{
	protected override TimeSpan StartDelay => TimeSpan.FromSeconds(3);

	protected override TimeSpan ExecutionInterval => TimeSpan.FromDays(1);
	
	public MyHostedService(ILogger<MyHostedService> logger, IServiceScopeFactory services) 
		: base(logger, services)
	{
	}
	
	protected override Task RunScoped(IMyService myService)
	{
		myService.DoSomething();
		return Task.CompletedTask;
	}
}

Register the hosted service in startup:

public void ConfigureServices(IServiceCollection services)
{
    services.AddHostedService<MyHostedService>()
}

Possible configurations:

• ExecutionInterval: How often the job ticks after starting (default: 60 seconds)
• StartDelay: Delay the first tick for a specific time after starting (default: 0)
• OnlySingleInstance: If the last tick is still no other tick is started even if the executionInterval is over (default: false)

Possible hook points:

• RunScoped: Execute your logic here (mandatory)
• OnStartup: Is called before the timer starts ticking (optional)
• OnRunSuccessful: Is executed after the current tick is over (optional)
• OnError: Can be used to handle errors that occur within a running tick

Note:

• Errors inside "ExecutionInterval" are catched and can be handled with "OnError"
• "RunScoped" is running in it's ioc scope. The other hook points are outside of this scope.
