Dev.Util.Tasks

Resilience and flow control utilities for the Dev.Util ecosystem. Manage async execution, retries, and rate limiting with ease.

NuGet Version

📦 Installation

dotnet add package Dev.Util.Tasks

✨ Features

  • 🔄 Resilience (Retry): Robust retry policies with backoff for unstable operations.
  • 🚀 Concurrency: ForEachAsync for controlled parallel processing.
  • 🔥 Fire & Forget: Safely execute background tasks without blocking or crashing.
  • ⏳ Timeouts: Enforce execution limits on any Task.
  • 📉 Rate Limiting: Debounce and Throttle for UI events or API pressure.

🛠 Usage Examples

1. Robust Retry Logic

Handle transient failures in network calls or DB operations.

using Dev.Util.Tasks;

// Retry 3 times with a 1-second delay between attempts
await Retry.DoAsync(async () => 
{
    return await api.GetLargeData();
}, TimeSpan.FromSeconds(1), retryCount: 3);

2. Controlled Parallelism

Process a collection concurrently without overwhelming the system.

using Dev.Util.Tasks;

var imageLinks = GetLinks();

// Process images 5 at a time
await imageLinks.ForEachAsync(async link => 
{
    await DownloadImage(link);
}, maxDegreeOfParallelism: 5);

3. Task Timeouts

Prevent your application from hanging on stalled tasks.

using Dev.Util.Tasks;

try 
{
    await ExternalService.Call().WithTimeout(TimeSpan.FromSeconds(10));
}
catch (TimeoutException)
{
    // Handle slow connection
}

4. UI/Event Rate Limiting

Essential for search bars or frequent UI updates.

using Dev.Util.Tasks;

// Debounce: Wait for 300ms of "silence" before searching
var debouncedSearch = ActionExtensions.Debounce<string>(term => 
{
    PerformSearch(term);
}, 300);

// Throttle: Limit execution to once per second
var throttledClick = ActionExtensions.Throttle(() => 
{
    SubmitData();
}, 1000);

5. Safe Fire & Forget

Run background work without the "Async Void" pitfalls.

using Dev.Util.Tasks;

// Runs in background. Exceptions are passed to the handler instead of crashing.
ProcessDataAsync().FireAndForget(ex => 
{
    Logger.LogError(ex);
});

Dev.Util.Tasks respects CancellationToken throughout its API for proper resource cleanup.
