Cancellation Token Provider
A CancellationToken
enables cooperative cancellation between threads, thread pool work items, or Task
objects. To handle the possible cancellation of the operation, ABP Framework provides ICancellationTokenProvider
to obtain the CancellationToken
itself from the source.
To get more information about
CancellationToken
, see Microsoft Documentation.
ICancellationTokenProvider
ICancellationTokenProvider
is an abstraction to provide CancellationToken
for different scenarios.
Generally, you should pass the CancellationToken
as a parameter for your method to use it. With the ICancellationTokenProvider
you don't need to pass CancellationToken
for every method. ICancellationTokenProvider
can be injected with the dependency injection and provides the token from it's source.
Example:
Built-in providers
NullCancellationTokenProvider
The
NullCancellationTokenProvider
is a built in provider and it supply alwaysCancellationToken.None
.HttpContextCancellationTokenProvider
The
HttpContextCancellationTokenProvider
is a built in default provider for ABP Web applications. It simply provides aCancellationToken
that is source of the web request from theHttpContext
.
Implementing the ICancellationTokenProvider
You can easily create your CancellationTokenProvider by creating a class that implements the ICancellationTokenProvider
interface, as shown below:
