Presentation

Scheduler.NET is a scheduler for .NET workers that heavily relies on Dependency Injection. Therefore, the scheduling setup is directly linked to the business layer. Any business layer can interact with the scheduler as well.

Examples

Simple Job Runner

dotnet new worker -o TestWorker
cd TestWorker
dotnet add package Paillave.Scheduler.Core

using Paillave.Scheduler.Core;

Host.CreateDefaultBuilder(args)
    .ConfigureServices(services => services.AddScheduler<MyJobDefinition, int, MyBatchSetup>())
    .Build()
    .RunAsync();

public class MyJobDefinition
{
    public int Id { get; set; }
    public string? CronExpression { get; set; }
}

public class MyBatchSetup : IBatchSetup<MyJobDefinition, int>
{
    public void Execute(MyJobDefinition source, CancellationToken stoppingToken)
        => Console.WriteLine($"{source.Id}: Write something on console, but could be anything");
    public IEnumerable<MyJobDefinition> GetAll()
        => new[] { new MyJobDefinition { Id = 1, CronExpression = "*/2 * * * *" } };
    public string? GetCronExpression(MyJobDefinition source)
        => source.CronExpression;
    public int GetKey(MyJobDefinition source)
        => source.Id;
}

Job Runner driven by web api

dotnet new webapi -o TestWebApi
cd TestWebApi
dotnet add package Paillave.Scheduler.Core

using System.Diagnostics;
using Microsoft.AspNetCore.Mvc;
using Paillave.Scheduler.Core;

var builder = WebApplication.CreateBuilder(args);

builder.Services
    .AddSingleton(new List<BatchDefinition>())
    .AddTransient<IBatchService, BatchService>()
    .AddScheduler<BatchDefinition, int, MyBatchConfiguration>();

var app = builder.Build();

app.UseHttpsRedirection();

app.MapGet("/", (
    [FromServices] IBatchService batchService)

app.MapDelete("/{id}", (

app.MapPost("/", (

    [FromBody] BatchDefinition batchDefinition)

    [FromServices] IJobDefinitionService<BatchDefinition, int> jobDefinitionService,
    [FromRoute(Name = "id")] int id)
