Quartz.Extensions.DependencyInjection 3.13.1

Quartz.Extensions.DependencyInjection provides integration with Microsoft Dependency Injection.

::: tip Quartz 3.1 or later required. :::

Installation

You need to add NuGet package reference to your project which uses Quartz.

Install-Package Quartz.Extensions.DependencyInjection

Using

You can add Quartz configuration by invoking an extension method AddQuartz on IServiceCollection. The configuration building wraps various configuration properties with strongly-typed API. You can also configure properties using standard .NET Core appsettings.json inside configuration section Quartz.

::: tip Quartz.Extensions.Hosting allows you to have a background service for your application that handles starting and stopping the scheduler. :::

Example appsettings.json

{
  "Logging": {
    "LogLevel": {
      "Default": "Information",
      "Microsoft": "Warning",
      "Microsoft.Hosting.Lifetime": "Information"
    }
  },
  "Quartz": {
    "quartz.scheduler.instanceName": "Quartz ASP.NET Core Sample Scheduler"
  }
}

DI aware job factories

Quartz comes with two built-in alternatives for job factory which can be configured via either calling UseMicrosoftDependencyInjectionJobFactory or UseMicrosoftDependencyInjectionScopedJobFactory (deprecated).

::: tip As of Quartz.NET 3.7 all jobs are created as scoped and MS DI is configured by default. There shouldn't be need to call UseMicrosoftDependencyInjection* overloads. :::

Job instance construction

By default Quartz will try to resolve job's type from container and if there's no explicit registration Quartz will use ActivatorUtilities to construct job and inject it's dependencies via constructor. Job should have only one public constructor.

Persistent job stores

The scheduling configuration will be checked against database and updated accordingly every time your application starts and schedule is being evaluated.

::: warning When using persistent job store, make sure you define job and trigger names for your scheduling so that existence checks work correctly against the data you already have in your database.

Using API to configure triggers and jobs without explicit job identity configuration will cause jobs and triggers to have different generated name each time configuration is being evaluated.

With persistent job stores it's best practice to always declare at least job and trigger name. Omitting the group for them will produce same default group value for every invocation. :::

Example Startup.ConfigureServices configuration

public void ConfigureServices(IServiceCollection services)
{
    // base configuration from appsettings.json
    services.Configure<QuartzOptions>(Configuration.GetSection("Quartz"));

    // if you are using persistent job store, you might want to alter some options
    services.Configure<QuartzOptions>(options =>
    {
        options.Scheduling.IgnoreDuplicates = true; // default: false
        options.Scheduling.OverWriteExistingData = true; // default: true
    });

    services.AddQuartz(q =>
    {
        // handy when part of cluster or you want to otherwise identify multiple schedulers
        q.SchedulerId = "Scheduler-Core";
        
        // we take this from appsettings.json, just show it's possible
        // q.SchedulerName = "Quartz ASP.NET Core Sample Scheduler";
        
        // or for scoped service support like EF Core DbContext
        // q.UseMicrosoftDependencyInjectionScopedJobFactory();
        
        // these are the defaults
        q.UseSimpleTypeLoader();
        q.UseInMemoryStore();
        q.UseDefaultThreadPool(tp =>
        {
            tp.MaxConcurrency = 10;
        });

        // quickest way to create a job with single trigger is to use ScheduleJob
        // (requires version 3.2)
        q.ScheduleJob<ExampleJob>(trigger => trigger

        );

        // you can also configure individual jobs and triggers with code
        // this allows you to associated multiple triggers with same job
        // (if you want to have different job data map per trigger for example)
        q.AddJob<ExampleJob>(j => j
            .StoreDurably() // we need to store durably if no trigger is associated
            .WithDescription("my awesome job")
