minor fix in the code
  • The way I made this work is not very quick but might provide extra benefit in the future. I have added Hangfire support to the application and use its BackgroundJob enqueuing mechanism as follows:
  • ## Plugging Hangfire
  • ```
  • using Hangfire;
  • using Hangfire.MemoryStorage;
  • public void ConfigureServices(IServiceCollection services)
  • {
  • // other initialization here
  • ConfigureHangfire(services);
  • }
  • private void ConfigureHangfire(IServiceCollection services)
  • {
  • // this can be replaced with another type of storage
  • // for actual persistence, but it is enough for this example
  • services.AddHangfire(opt => opt.UseMemoryStorage());
  • JobStorage.Current = new MemoryStorage();
  • }
  • }
  • public void Configure(IApplicationBuilder app)
  • {
  • // other configuration here
  • StartHangFireJobs(app);
  • }
  • protected void StartHangFireJobs(IApplicationBuilder app)
  • {
  • app.UseHangfireServer();
  • // this is optional, but it provides a nice dashboard to see all job runs
  • app.UseHangfireDashboard();
  • }
  • ```
  • ## Actual usage
  • ```
  • public IActionResult ExportPTBContracts()
  • {
  • // virtually anything can be called here
  • // and the DI will work as expected
  • // BackgroundJob.Enqueue(() => _fooService.DoFoo());
  • return Ok();
  • }
  • ```
  • The main disadvantage is that a third-party library is used. However, it allows to easily check how the jobs actually ran (how frequent were called, how much it took, unhandled errors, etc).
  • More information is provided by [Hangfire Docs](https://docs.hangfire.io/en/latest/getting-started/index.html).

The way I made this work is not very quick but might provide extra benefit in the future. I have added Hangfire support to the application and use its BackgroundJob enqueuing mechanism as follows:

## Plugging Hangfire

```
using Hangfire;
using Hangfire.MemoryStorage;

public void ConfigureServices(IServiceCollection services)
{
    // other initialization here
    ConfigureHangfire(services);
}

private void ConfigureHangfire(IServiceCollection services)
{
     // this can be replaced with another type of storage
     // for actual persistence, but it is enough for this example
     services.AddHangfire(opt => opt.UseMemoryStorage());
			JobStorage.Current = new MemoryStorage();
     }
}

public void Configure(IApplicationBuilder app)
{
    // other configuration here

    StartHangFireJobs(app);
}

protected void StartHangFireJobs(IApplicationBuilder app)
{
    app.UseHangfireServer();
    // this is optional, but it provides a nice dashboard to see all job runs
    app.UseHangfireDashboard();
}
```

## Actual usage 

```
public IActionResult ExportPTBContracts()
{
    // virtually anything can be called here     
    // and the DI will work as expected
    // BackgroundJob.Enqueue(() => _fooService.DoFoo());
    return Ok();
}
```

The main disadvantage is that a third-party library is used. However, it allows to easily check how the jobs actually ran (how frequent were called, how much it took, unhandled errors, etc).
