# Abraham.AutoRecovery | ||
|
||
|
||
## Abstract | ||
|
||
This library provides a scheduler for automatically saving user data | ||
and a supervisor process to automatically restart your app after a crash. | ||
|
||
|
||
## License | ||
|
||
Licensed under Apache licence. | ||
https://www.apache.org/licenses/LICENSE-2.0 | ||
|
||
|
||
## Compatibility | ||
|
||
The nuget package was build with DotNET 6. | ||
|
||
|
||
## Example | ||
|
||
For an example refer to project "AutoRecoveryDemoWPF". It demonstrates both features: | ||
1. The scheduler that triggers a given function periodically to save the user's data. | ||
2. When you app starts, a separate (hidden) process is started to monitor your app. | ||
In case you app crashes and its process ends, the hidden process will restart | ||
your app. If your process ends normally, the hidden process will also end. | ||
|
||
|
||
## Getting started | ||
|
||
Add the Nuget package "Abraham.AutoRecovery" to your project. | ||
|
||
Add a field to your project: | ||
|
||
```C# | ||
IAutoRecovery _autoRecovery = new AutoRecovery(); | ||
``` | ||
|
||
|
||
|
||
### Adding AutoSave to your project | ||
|
||
At startup of your app, add the following code: | ||
|
||
```C# | ||
private void Window_Loaded(object sender, RoutedEventArgs e) | ||
{ | ||
if (_autoRecovery.AppHasCrashed) | ||
LoadDataFromAutoSaveFile(); | ||
else | ||
LoadData(); | ||
_autoRecovery.EnableAutoSave(10, SaveDataForAutoSave); // save every 10 seconds | ||
} | ||
``` | ||
|
||
This method will be called periodically to save the user's data: | ||
|
||
```C# | ||
private void SaveDataForAutoSave() | ||
{ | ||
Dispatcher.Invoke(() => { SaveDataToAutoSaveFile(); }); | ||
} | ||
``` | ||
|
||
At shutdown, add the following code: | ||
|
||
```C# | ||
private void Window_Closing(object sender, System.ComponentModel.CancelEventArgs e) | ||
{ | ||
SaveData(); | ||
DeleteAutoSaveFile(); // optional | ||
} | ||
``` | ||
|
||
After saving user's data as usual, you can add a method that deletes the file | ||
containing the autosave data. | ||
|
||
|
||
### Adding AutoRestart to your project | ||
|
||
At startup of your app, add the following code. | ||
(You'll want to change startVisible to false after verifying it's working): | ||
|
||
```C# | ||
private void Window_Loaded(object sender, RoutedEventArgs e) | ||
{ | ||
_autoRecovery.EnableAutoRestart(startVisible: true); // restart this app after crash, start visible for Demo only! | ||
} | ||
``` | ||
|
||
|
||
At shutdown, add the following code: | ||
|
||
```C# | ||
private void Window_Closing(object sender, System.ComponentModel.CancelEventArgs e) | ||
{ | ||
_autoRecovery.NormalShutdown(); | ||
} | ||
``` | ||
|
||
This call will end the hidden supervisor process. | ||
|
||
### Testing AutoRestart | ||
|
||
- Start the demo app 'AutoRecoveryDemoWPF.exe' by doubleclicking. | ||
- The go to task manager and end this process. | ||
- Don't kill process tree! Only kill the single process. | ||
- After a few seconds the supervisor process will recognize that and restart your process. | ||
|
||
|
||

||

- Start Visual Studio (with NuGet installed) | ||
- Right-click on your project's References and choose "Manage NuGet Packages..." | ||
- Choose Online category from the left | ||
- Enter the name of the nuget package to the top right search and hit enter | ||
- Choose your package from search results and hit install | ||
