Deferred execution sample
Illustrates how to put a workflow execution path to sleep.
This feature is invoked by the execution result of a step. So here we created a step that will return a SleepResult on the first pass, then a normal OutcomeResult on the second pass.
public class SleepStep : StepBody
{
public TimeSpan Period { get; set; }
public override ExecutionResult Run(IStepExecutionContext context)
{
if (context.PersistenceData == null)
return ExecutionResult.Sleep(Period, new object());
else
return ExecutionResult.Next();
}
}
public class DeferSampleWorkflow : IWorkflow
{
public void Build(IWorkflowBuilder<object> builder)
{
builder
.StartWith(context =>
{
Console.WriteLine("Workflow started");
return ExecutionResult.Next();
})
.Then<SleepStep>()
.Input(step => step.Period, data => TimeSpan.FromSeconds(20))
.Then(context =>
{
Console.WriteLine("workflow complete");
return ExecutionResult.Next();
});
}
...
}
