DistributedLeaseManager.EntityFrameworkCore 1.0.0

DistributedLeaseManager.EntityFrameworkCore

Description

A simple C#/.NET distributed lease/lock manager (DLM) implementation.

Inspired by the https://github.com/fbeltrao/azfunctions-distributed-locking

This library contains a lease storage implemented using the Entity Framework Core.

Usage

1. Register the Distributed Lease Manager in the DI container using the EF Core database provider of your choice:

   builder.Services.AddEfCoreDistributedLeaseManager(builder =>
       builder.UseSqlServer("Server=(localdb)\\MSSQLLocalDB;Integrated Security=true;Database=DatabaseName",
           options => options.MigrationsAssembly(Assembly.GetExecutingAssembly().FullName)),
       "DistributedLeases");
   

2. Add and apply a database migration:

   dotnet ef migrations add InitDistributedLeasesTable
   dotnet ef database update
   

3. Inside your controller/service inject the IDistributedLeaseManager and call the TryAcquireLease method. Verify if the result was successful - if it was then you can proceed with the operation; otherwise, someone else has acquired the lease:

   await using var leaseResult = await leaseManager.TryAcquireLease(resourceId, TimeSpan.FromSeconds(5));
   
   if (!leaseResult.IsSuccessful)
   {
       // Someone else has required the lease for the resource.
       // You may want to either retry the acqusition or abort the operation.
   }
   else
   {
       // You are the lease owner now and can safely process the resource.
       // The lease will be released either when the leaseResult gets disposed
       // or when the lease expires (in the example above, in 5 seconds)
   }
