DropBear.Codex.StateManagement 2024.4.7

DropBear.Codex.StateManagement

DropBear.Codex.StateManagement is a simple state management library designed to monitor and manage the state of your models efficiently. This library provides functionalities for snapshotting model states, tracking changes, and efficiently managing model state through a caching system with a sliding expiration policy.

Features

• Snapshot Initialization: Initialize monitoring of a model by taking a snapshot of its state, which is stored in the cache with customizable expiration.
• Change Detection: Check if the model has changed since the last snapshot was taken and obtain a list of changed properties.
• Snapshot Management: Clear snapshots from the cache to free up resources, especially for models that are no longer in use.
• Extension Methods: Includes extension methods to simplify checking and adding properties to models within the cache.

Getting Started

To use DropBear.Codex.StateManagement in your project, follow these steps:

1. Add a reference to the library in your project file.

2. Import the necessary namespaces:

   using DropBear.Codex.StateManagement.Extensions;
   using DropBear.Codex.StateManagement.Interfaces;
   

3. Initialize a snapshot of your model:

   var model = new YourModel();
   IModelStateSnapshot snapshotManager = new ModelStateSnapshot();
   snapshotManager.InitializeSnapshot(model, TimeSpan.FromMinutes(30));
   

4. Check for changes in the model:

   if (snapshotManager.HasModelChanged(model, out var changes)) {
   Console.WriteLine("Changes detected in the following properties:");
   foreach (var change in changes) {
   Console.WriteLine(change);}}
   

5. Clear snapshots from the cache:

      snapshotManager.ClearSnapshot(model);
