Manager APIs

TickerQ provides manager interfaces for scheduling and managing jobs. This guide covers all available APIs in the manager interfaces.

Accessing Entities

To query or retrieve entities by ID, use the persistence provider methods directly or access them through Entity Framework if you're using EF Core persistence.

Manager Types

ITimeTickerManager

Manages time-based jobs (TimeTicker) - jobs scheduled for specific execution times.

ICronTickerManager

Manages cron-based jobs (CronTicker) - recurring jobs using cron expressions.

TickerResult

Result type returned by all manager operations, providing success status and exception information.

Common Patterns

Dependency Injection

Managers are registered as singletons and can be injected:

public class MyService
{
    private readonly ITimeTickerManager<TimeTickerEntity> _timeTickerManager;
    private readonly ICronTickerManager<CronTickerEntity> _cronTickerManager;
    
    public MyService(
        ITimeTickerManager<TimeTickerEntity> timeTickerManager,
        ICronTickerManager<CronTickerEntity> cronTickerManager)
    {
        _timeTickerManager = timeTickerManager;
        _cronTickerManager = cronTickerManager;
    }
}

Generic Types

When using custom entity types:

public class CustomTimeTicker : TimeTickerEntity<CustomTimeTicker> { }
public class CustomCronTicker : CronTickerEntity { }

// In service registration
builder.Services.AddTickerQ<CustomTimeTicker, CustomCronTicker>(options => { });

// In your service
public class MyService
{
    private readonly ITimeTickerManager<CustomTimeTicker> _timeTickerManager;
    private readonly ICronTickerManager<CustomCronTicker> _cronTickerManager;
}
