Synchronous Query

Get(Request, CancellationToken, IDictionary<string, object>) returns possible value. Null, if no handler produced a request.

// Create service
IService<TypeRequest, Type> service = Services.Create<TypeRequest, Type>(ServiceHandlers.Instance, CachePolicies.Default);
// Create request
TypeRequest request = new TypeRequest("System.String");
// Issue request
Type? type = service.Get(request);

TryGet(Request, out Response, CancellationToken, IDictionary<string, object>) returns true if value was completed.

// Create service
IService<TypeRequest, Type> service = Services.Create<TypeRequest, Type>(ServiceHandlers.Instance, CachePolicies.Default);
// Create request
TypeRequest request = new TypeRequest("System.String");
// Issue request
if (service.TryGet(request, out Type? type)) Console.WriteLine("Got type");

GetRequired(Request, CancellationToken, IDictionary<string, object>) is used when Completed result is expected.

// Issue request
Type type = service.GetRequired(request);

Invoke(Request, CancellationToken, IDictionary<string, object>) calls a service without expecting a response value.

// Handler
Action<IQuery<WakeUpRequest, Avalanche.Void>> wakeupHandler = q => Console.WriteLine("Wake Up!");
// Create service
IService service = Services.Create(wakeupHandler, CachePolicies.Default);
// Create request
WakeUpRequest request = new WakeUpRequest();
// Invoke
service.TryInvoke(request);

struct WakeUpRequest { }

Asynchronous Query

GetAsync(Request, CancellationToken, IDictionary<string, object>) and GetAsyncQuickAbort() executes query asynchronously.

// Issue request
Type? type = await service.GetAsync(request);

GetRequiredAsync(Request, CancellationToken, IDictionary<string, object>) and GetRequiredAsyncQuickAbort() executes query asynchronously and expects a result.

// Issue request
Type type = await service.GetRequiredAsync(request);

InvokeAsync(Request, CancellationToken, IDictionary<string, object>) and InvokeAsyncQuickAbort() calls a service without expecting a response value.

// Handler
Action<IQuery<WakeUpRequest, Avalanche.Void>> wakeupHandler = q => Console.WriteLine("Wake Up!");
// Create service
IService service = Services.Create(wakeupHandler, CachePolicies.Default);
// Create request
WakeUpRequest request = new WakeUpRequest();
// Invoke async
await service.InvokeAsync(request);

struct WakeUpRequest { }

Error Handling

If no handler produced a value and result was Required, then ServiceException is thrown with ServiceEvent.BadQueryNoValue error code.

// Create service
IService<TypeRequest, Type> service = Services.Create<TypeRequest, Type>(ServiceHandlers.Instance, CachePolicies.Default);
// Create request
TypeRequest request = new TypeRequest("System.NotFound");
// Issue request
try
{
    Type type = service.GetRequired(request);
}
catch (ServiceException se) when (se.Code == Services.StatusCodes.BadQueryNoValue.Code)
{
    Console.WriteLine("No result, type not found.");
}

See Events for other error types.
