How to use

ServiceFactory/ServiceFactoryProvider

• ServiceFactory<T> is a factory that can provide valid instances of a specific service of type T within a scope. It implements IServiceFactory<T>.
• ServiceFactoryProvider<T> is a provider for factories of services of type T. It implements IServiceFactoryProvider<T>.

An example of use is the CompletionServiceFactoryProvider class of the NuGet Encamina.Enmarcha.AI.OpenAI.Abstractions.

SimpleRetryHelper

SimpleRetryHelper is a simple implementation of a helper for retrying failed operations.

Starting from a Program.cs or a similar entry point file in your project, add the following code:

// Entry point
var builder = WebApplication.CreateBuilder(new WebApplicationOptions
{
   // ...
});

// ...

services.AddLogging();
services.TryAddTransient<IRetryHelper, SimpleRetryHelper>();

And now you can use IRetryHelper, for example, with a constructor injection.

public class MyClass
{
    private readonly IRetryHelper retryHelper;

    public MyClass(IRetryHelper retryHelper)
    {
        this.retryHelper = retryHelper;
    }

    public async Task DoOperationAsync()
    {
        await retryHelper.RetryOperationAsync(retryTimes: 3, waitTimeMilliseconds: 5000, operation: ApiRestCallAsync);
    }

    private async Task ApiRestCallAsync()
    {
         // ...
    }
}

When running DoOperationAsync, the ApiRestCall method will be called up to 3 times, with a 5000-millisecond interval between attempts. In case it does not complete successfully, the last exception thrown by ApiRestCallAsync will be thrown.
