A set of extensions for optimizing/simplifying System.Threading.Channels usage.
Includes:
ReadUntilCancelled, ReadAll, ReadAllConcurrently, WriteAll, WriteAllConcurrently, and Pipe operations.
Part of the "Open" set of libraries.
If complete is true, the channel will be closed when the source is empty.
Dump a source enumeration into the channel
// source can be any IEnumerable<T>.
await channel.WriteAll(source, complete: true);
// source can be any IEnumerable<Task<T>> or IEnumerable<ValueTask<T>>.
await channel.WriteAllAsync(source, complete: true);
Synchronize reading from the source and process the results concurrently
// source can be any IEnumerable<Task<T>> or IEnumerable<ValueTask<T>>.
await channel.WriteAllConcurrentlyAsync(
maxConcurrency, source, complete: true);
Filter & Transform
// Filter and transform when reading.
channel.Reader
.Filter(predicate) // .Where()
.Transform(selector) // .Select()
.ReadAllAsync(async value => {/*...*/});
Batching
values.Reader
.Batch(10 /*batch size*/)
.WithTimeout(1000) // Any non-empty batches are flushed every second.
.ReadAllAsync(async batch => {/*...*/});
Joining
batches.Reader
.Join()
.ReadAllAsync(async value => {/*...*/});
Pipelining / Transforming
Transform and buffer entries
// Transform values in a source channel to new unbounded channel.
var transformed = channel.Pipe(
async value => /* transformation */);
// Transform values in a source channel to new unbounded channel with a max concurrency of X.
const int X = 4;
var transformed = channel.Pipe(
X, async value => /* transformation */);
// Transform values in a source channel to new bounded channel bound of N entries.
const int N = 5;
var transformed = channel.Pipe(
async value => /* transformation */, N);
// Transform values in a source channel to new bounded channel bound of N entries with a max concurrency of X.
const int X = 4;
const int N = 5;
var transformed = channel.Pipe(
X, async value => /* transformation */, N);
// or
transformed = channel.Pipe(
maxConcurrency: X,
capacity: N,
transform: async value => /* transformation */);
