Some times we have a api that must handle heavy request; for example, an api that adds a list of items to database and it's consumes bunch of times!
Asyncify will handle this problem. It will run your request in new background thread and end-user will not wait for response.
Asyncify is installed from NuGet.
dotnet add package Asyncify.Net
At first, use AsyncRequest attribute on the request which you need to run it as async
[AsyncRequest(nameof(Index))]
public IActionResult Index()
and then add AsyncController attribute on controller that request is included in it.
[AsyncController(typeof(ProductsController))]
public class ProductsController : Controller
Finally, register the middleware to handle your async requests:
app.UseAsyncRequest();
For tracking response of your request, Asyncify will add an api with /async that accept trackId as a query and return response in this template:
public class AsyncRequestDto(
Guid trackId,
AsyncRequestStatus status,
object? result)
{
public Guid TrackId { get; } = trackId;
public AsyncRequestStatus Status { get; } = status;
public object? Result { get; } = result;
}
Every async request can some status that will showed in Status property, and the your Dto will filled in Result propery.
