Philiprehberger.CircuitBreaker

CI NuGet License

Standalone circuit breaker with half-open probing, health tracking, and event callbacks.

Installation

dotnet add package Philiprehberger.CircuitBreaker

Usage

using Philiprehberger.CircuitBreaker;

var breaker = new CircuitBreaker(failureThreshold: 3, openDuration: TimeSpan.FromSeconds(10));

breaker.OnOpen += () => Console.WriteLine("Circuit opened!");
breaker.OnClose += () => Console.WriteLine("Circuit closed.");
breaker.OnHalfOpen += () => Console.WriteLine("Circuit half-open, probing...");

// Synchronous execution
var result = breaker.Execute(() => ComputeValue());

// Asynchronous execution
var data = await breaker.ExecuteAsync(() => httpClient.GetStringAsync("/api/health"));

Using Options

var options = new CircuitBreakerOptions(
    FailureThreshold: 5,
    OpenDuration: TimeSpan.FromSeconds(30)
);

var breaker = new CircuitBreaker(options);

Manual Control

breaker.Trip();   // Force the circuit open
breaker.Reset();  // Force the circuit closed

Handling Rejected Requests

try
{
    var result = breaker.Execute(() => CallService());
}
catch (CircuitBrokenException ex)
{
    Console.WriteLine($"State: {ex.State}, retry in {ex.RemainingDuration.TotalSeconds}s");
}

API

CircuitBreaker

Member Description
CircuitBreaker(int failureThreshold = 5, TimeSpan? openDuration = null) Creates a new circuit breaker
CircuitBreaker(CircuitBreakerOptions options) Creates a circuit breaker from options
Execute<T>(Func<T>) Executes a synchronous operation through the breaker
ExecuteAsync<T>(Func<Task<T>>) Executes an asynchronous operation through the breaker
Trip() Manually opens the circuit
Reset() Manually closes the circuit and resets failure count
State Current CircuitState (Closed, Open, HalfOpen)
FailureCount Number of consecutive failures
LastFailure Timestamp of the most recent failure
OnOpen Callback when circuit opens
OnClose Callback when circuit closes
OnHalfOpen Callback when circuit enters half-open
OnFailure Callback on each failure
OnSuccess Callback on each success

CircuitState

Value Description
Closed Requests flow through normally
Open Requests are rejected immediately
HalfOpen A single probe request is allowed to test recovery

CircuitBreakerOptions

Property Default Description
FailureThreshold 5 Failures before opening
OpenDuration null (30s) Duration circuit stays open
HalfOpenTimeout null Timeout for half-open probe

CircuitBrokenException

Property Description
State Circuit state when the exception was thrown
OpenedAt When the circuit was opened
RemainingDuration Time until the circuit transitions to half-open

Development
