honker-dotnet

.NET / C# binding for Honker: durable queues, streams, pub/sub, and time-trigger scheduling on SQLite.

Full docs:

Install

dotnet add package Honker

The NuGet package bundles the Honker SQLite extension for:

  • linux-x64
  • linux-arm64
  • osx-x64
  • osx-arm64
  • win-x64

Quick start

using Honker;

using var db = Database.Open("app.db");
var queue = db.Queue("emails");

queue.Enqueue("""{"to":"alice@example.com"}""");

var job = queue.ClaimOne("worker-1");
if (job is not null)
{
    SendEmail(job.PayloadRaw);
    job.Ack();
}

Native loading

Database.Open(...) loads the Honker extension and runs honker_bootstrap(). Native discovery checks, in order:

  1. OpenOptions.ExtensionPath
  2. HONKER_EXTENSION_PATH
  3. the bundled NuGet runtime asset under runtimes/<rid>/native/

Watcher backends

OpenOptions.WatcherBackend = "polling" (or "poll") selects the default stable backend. Experimental "kernel" / "shm" requests route through honker-core via the loaded extension and fail loudly if that extension was not built with the matching feature.

Local test

Build the extension first:

cargo build -p honker-extension

Then run the .NET tests:

dotnet test packages/honker-dotnet/tests/Honker.Tests/Honker.Tests.csproj

Release

The Release · NuGet workflow builds native assets for each supported RID, packs the .nupkg, verifies the package contains every runtime asset, runs a clean consumer smoke test, and publishes on dotnet-v* tags.
