Introduction
This tip walks you through configuration of HangFire.
"An easy way to perform fire-and-forget, delayed and recurring tasks inside ASP.NET applications" - http://hangfire.io/
We can easily configure different types of jobs (recurring, schedule or fire and forget).
STEP 1 - Create ASP.NET Web Application
- Open Visual Studio 2015 and create a new project of type ASP.NET Web Application.
- On this project, I create a solution called
HangFire
.
- Press OK, and a new screen will appear, with several options of template to use on our project.
- Select the option MVC.
STEP 2 - Install Nuget
In order to use HangFire
, we need to install a Nuget package.
We can install using the Package Manager Console:
PM> Install-Package HangFire -Version 1.4.6
Or using the Visual Studio Nuget Management:
STEP 3 - Configure Startup Class
Need to provide connection string to our database.~
using Hangfire;
using Microsoft.Owin;
using Owin;
using System;
[assembly: OwinStartupAttribute(typeof(HangFire.Startup))]
namespace HangFire
{
public partial class Startup
{
public void Configuration(IAppBuilder app)
{
ConfigureAuth(app);
GlobalConfiguration.Configuration
.UseSqlServerStorage("connectionString");
BackgroundJob.Enqueue(() => Console.WriteLine("Fire-and-forget!"));
app.UseHangfireDashboard();
app.UseHangfireServer();
}
}
}
STEP 4 - Run
Run application using its address followed by /hangfire, like in the image below:
When we run this address for the first time, a new table will be created on our database.
