I have these functions
public async Task<List<Machine>> GetMachines()
{
await Initialize();
await SyncMachines();
return await machineTable.ToListAsync();
}
public async Task InsertMachines(List<Machine> machines)
{
await Initialize();
await Task.WhenAll(machines.Select(m => machineTable.InsertAsync(m)));
await SyncMachines();
}
I am writing a parent class to put these functions in, such that the functions getMachines()
and InsertMachines()
become getObject
and InsertObject
where the List<Machine>
can be a list of any objects, so they can return and accept any type of list
How do I declare functions like this?
According to your description, I created my azure sync table class as follows, you could refer to it:
public class AzureCloudSyncTable<TModel> where TModel : class
{
public static MobileServiceClient MobileService = new MobileServiceClient(
"https://{your-mobile-app-name}.azurewebsites.net"
);
private IMobileServiceSyncTable<TModel> syncTable = MobileService.GetSyncTable<TModel>();
#region Offline sync
private async Task InitLocalStoreAsync()
{
if (!MobileService.SyncContext.IsInitialized)
{
var store = new MobileServiceSQLiteStore("localstore.db");
store.DefineTable<TModel>();
await MobileService.SyncContext.InitializeAsync(store);
}
await SyncAsync();
}
private async Task SyncAsync()
{
await PushAsync();
await syncTable.PullAsync(typeof(TModel).Name, syncTable.CreateQuery());
}
private async Task PushAsync()
{
try
{
await MobileService.SyncContext.PushAsync();
}
catch (MobileServicePushFailedException ex)
{
if (ex.PushResult != null)
{
foreach (var error in ex.PushResult.Errors)
{
await ResolveConflictAsync(error);
}
}
}
}
private async Task ResolveConflictAsync(MobileServiceTableOperationError error)
{
//var serverItem = error.Result.ToObject<TModel>();
//var localItem = error.Item.ToObject<TModel>();
//// Note that you need to implement the public override Equals(TModel item)
//// method in the Model for this to work
//if (serverItem.Equals(localItem))
//{
// // Items are the same, so ignore the conflict
// await error.CancelAndDiscardItemAsync();
// return;
//}
//// Client Always Wins
//localItem.Version = serverItem.Version;
//await error.UpdateOperationAsync(JObject.FromObject(localItem));
// Server Always Wins
//await error.CancelAndDiscardItemAsync();
}
#endregion
#region public methods
public async Task<List<TModel>> GetAll()
{
await InitLocalStoreAsync();
await SyncAsync();
return await syncTable.ToListAsync();
}
public async Task Insert(List<TModel> items)
{
await InitLocalStoreAsync();
await Task.WhenAll(items.Select(item => syncTable.InsertAsync(item)));
await PushAsync();
}
#endregion
}
Additionally, for more details about Handling Conflict Resolution, you could refer to adrian hall's book here.
