Hangfire.Realm 1.0.2

Hangfire.Realm

This Hangfire extension adds support for using the lightweight embeddable Realm object database.

Warning: While this extension has been tested extensively in development, it has not been fully tested in production. Please use responsibly. Any developer input is appreciated.

Installation

Package Manager:

Install-Package Hangfire.Realm -Version 1.0.0

.NET CLI:

dotnet add package Hangfire.Realm --version 1.0.0

Usage

Note: If you are using Realm for persisting other data in your application and it's running on Windows make sure you use the same Realm configuration for everything. Using seperate Realm files will result in intermittant "SetEndOfFile() failed" errors. See https://github.com/realm/realm-dotnet/issues/1906

.NET Core

Please see the Hangfire.Realm.Sample.NET.Core project for a working example.

public static void Main()
{
    //The path to the Realm DB file.
    string dbPath = Path.Combine(
                Environment.GetFolderPath(Environment.SpecialFolder.ApplicationData),
                "Hangfire.Realm.Sample.NetCore.realm");

    //A standard Realm configuration.
    RealmConfiguration realmConfiguration = new RealmConfiguration(dbPath)
    {
        ShouldCompactOnLaunch = (totalBytes, usedBytes) =>
        {
            // Compact if the file is over 100MB in size and less than 50% 'used'
            var oneHundredMB = (ulong)(100 * 1024 * 1024);
            return totalBytes > oneHundredMB && (double)usedBytes / totalBytes < 0.5;
        }
    };

    //Hangfire.Realm storage options.
    RealmJobStorageOptions storageOptions = new RealmJobStorageOptions
    {
        RealmConfiguration = realmConfiguration, //Required.
        QueuePollInterval = TimeSpan.FromSeconds(1), //Optional. Defaults to TimeSpan.FromSeconds(15)
        SlidingInvisibilityTimeout = TimeSpan.FromSeconds(10), //Optional. Defaults to TimeSpan.FromMinutes(10)
        JobExpirationCheckInterval = TimeSpan.FromMinutes(1) //Optional. Defaults to TimeSpan.FromMinutes(30)
    };

    //Standard Hangfire server options.

    };

    //Hangfire global configuration
    GlobalConfiguration.Configuration
    .UseLogProvider(new ColouredConsoleLogProvider(Logging.LogLevel.Debug))
    .UseRealmJobStorage(storageOptions);


    using (new BackgroundJobServer(serverOptions))

            BackgroundJob.Enqueue(() =>
            Console.WriteLine($"Fire-and-forget job {jobNumber}"));
        }

        //A scheduled job that will run 1.5 minutes after being placed in queue
        BackgroundJob.Schedule(() =>
        Console.WriteLine("A Scheduled job."),
        TimeSpan.FromMinutes(1.5));

                        () => Console.WriteLine("A scheduled continuation job!"));

        //A Cron based recurring job
        RecurringJob.AddOrUpdate("recurring-job-1", () =>
        Console.WriteLine("Recurring job 1."),
        Cron.Minutely);

        RecurringJob.AddOrUpdate("recurring-job-2", () =>

        RecurringJob.AddOrUpdate("recurring-job-1", () =>
