SyncLib.EntityFrameworkCore 8.3.2

SyncLib

This package has moved. The Dragonfire suite is now developed in a single repository: outboxnet/Dragonfire. Visit it for the latest version and the full suite of packages.

A small, opinionated library for running scheduled data-synchronization jobs in .NET hosted apps. Each provider fetches data from somewhere (HTTP API, queue, file system, …), maps it to your domain entities, and persists it through a repository you control. The library handles scheduling, retries, circuit-breaking, and observability.

Packages

The entity types you sync do not carry sync metadata. Last-sync state (timestamp, status, duration, error, counts) is persisted separately through ISyncStateStore, so your domain model stays clean.

Quick start

services.AddSyncLibrary();

services.AddSyncProvider<WeatherDto, WeatherEntity>("weather")
    .WithConfiguration(new ProviderSyncConfiguration
    {
        ProviderName = "weather",
        SyncInterval = TimeSpan.FromMinutes(5)
    })
    .WithDataProvider<WeatherApiProvider>()
    .WithRepository<WeatherRepository>()
    .WithMapper<WeatherMapper>()
    .Build();

// EF-backed sync state (recommended)
services.AddDbContext<AppDbContext>(o => o.UseSqlServer(connStr));
services.AddEntityFrameworkSyncStateStore<AppDbContext>();

Hosting models

SyncLib has two entry points and you pick whichever matches your host:

The same fetch → map → repository → state → metrics pipeline runs in both modes. Your WithRepository<TYourRepo>() is what actually persists data, so "the common logic" is shared regardless of who pulls the trigger.

Azure Functions example

// Program.cs
builder.Services.AddSyncRunner();
builder.Services.AddSyncProvider<WeatherDto, WeatherEntity>("weather")
    .WithConfiguration(new ProviderSyncConfiguration { ProviderName = "weather", MaxRetryAttempts = 2 })
    .WithDataProvider<WeatherApiProvider>()
    .WithRepository<MyWeatherRepository>()   // your own implementation
    .WithMapper<WeatherMapper>()
    .Build();

// SyncTimerFunction.cs
[Function("RunAllSyncs")]
public Task Run([TimerTrigger("0 */5 * * * *")] TimerInfo timer, CancellationToken ct)
    => _runner.RunAllAsync(ct);

Full sample under samples/SyncLib.Sample.AzureFunctions.

Observability

• Sync state per provider — query ISyncStateReader for last run time, status, duration, record count, and last error message.
• Metrics — synclib.sync.duration, synclib.sync.records, synclib.sync.failures, synclib.sync.successes exposed on the SyncLib Meter.
• Tracing — SyncLib ActivitySource emits a span per run with sync.provider, sync.records, and sync.status tags.

Sample app under samples/SyncLib.Sample.WebApi exposes a /sync/state endpoint that returns the last-sync record for every provider.
