Generic delegate variable


I've hurt my brain here.

Some background:

I have a multiple services in multitier app. Some of them are short-living (and should be consumed with using) and some of them are not (so I just inject them in any class I want and use directly). My client code has different data interfaces and random using keywords.

For some reasons (for SCIENCE mostly) I decided to refactor it a bit. I've made an universal DataServiceAdapter<> class which should be closed for every single service I use and this universal class encapsulate using logic from client.

DataServiceAdapter looks like this (short working example here on dotnetfiddle)

public class DataServiceAdapter<TService> : IDataService
    where TService : IDataService, new()
{
    private readonly TService _service;
    private readonly Func<Func<TService, dynamic>, dynamic> _run;

    public DataServiceAdapter()
    {
        if (typeof(IDisposable).IsAssignableFrom(typeof(TService)))
        {
            _run = RunWithUsing;
        }
        else
        {
            _service = new TService();
            _run = RunWithoutUsing;
        }
    }

    public bool Foo()
    {
        return _run(x => x.Foo());
    }

    public int Bar(string arg)
    {
        return _run(x => x.Bar(arg));
    }

    private dynamic RunWithUsing(Func<TService, dynamic> func)
    {
        using (var service = (IDisposable) new TService())
        {
            return func((TService)service);
        }
    }

    private dynamic RunWithoutUsing(Func<TService, dynamic> func)
    {
        return func(_service);
    }
}

public interface IDataService
{
    bool Foo();
    int Bar(string arg);
}

client supposed to work with it like this:

//class variable. Get this from IoC container
private readonly IDataService _service;
//somewhere in methods
var resultData = _service.Foo(); //full static type checking

But because my real life version of IDataService contains dozens of method I rewrote DataServiceAdapter like this (only changes, dotnetfiddle link):

public class DataServiceAdapter<TService> : IDataServiceAdapter<TService>
    where TService : IDataService, new()
{
    public dynamic Run(Func<TService, dynamic> func)
    {
        return _serviceUsing(func);
    }
}

public interface IDataServiceAdapter<out TService>
    where TService : IDataService
{
    dynamic Run(Func<TService, dynamic> func);
}

client now works with that version of DataServiceAdapter this way:

//class variable. Get this from IoC container
private readonly IDataServiceAdapter<IDataService> _service;
//somewhere in methods
var resultData = _service.Run(s => s.Foo()); 

It works without static checking because of dynamic

So (we are close to question) I decided to rewrote it again (for SCIENCE) and return static safety, but without necessity of wrapping all IDataService methods in my adapter class.

First of all I wrote this delegate:

private delegate TRes RunDelegate<TResult>(Func<TService, TResult> func);

But I just cant create variable of such delegate and pass it some method I wish to use like I did above.

Question: Is there any way to implement my design thought there (generic service provider which call whether method with using or method without it and has type-safety)?


Solution

  • You could delegate out the run logic to a runner class that implements an IRunner interface. You could optionally inject this if you felt the need to.

    Like this:

    using System;

    public class Program
    {
        public static void Main()
        {
            //Dependency register logic here. Choose either
    
            //var service = new DataServiceAdapter<SpecificNotDisposableDataService>();
            var service = new DataServiceAdapter<SpecificDisposableDataService>();
    
            var client = new Client(service);
            client.ClientMethod();
            Console.ReadLine();
        }
    }
    
    public class Client
    {
        private readonly IDataServiceAdapter<IDataService> _service;
        public Client(IDataServiceAdapter<IDataService> service)
        {
            _service = service;
        }
    
        public void ClientMethod()
        {
            Console.WriteLine(_service.Run(s => s.Foo()));
            Console.WriteLine(_service.Run(s => s.Bar("Hello")));
        }
    }
    
    public class DataServiceAdapter<TService> : IDataServiceAdapter<TService>
        where TService : IDataService, new()
    {
        private interface IRunner
        {
            T Run<T>(Func<TService, T> func);
        }
        private class WithUsing : IRunner
        {
            public T Run<T>(Func<TService, T> func)
            {
                using (var service = (IDisposable) new TService())
                {
                    return func((TService)service);
                }
            }
        }
        private class WithoutUsing : IRunner
        {
            private readonly TService _service = new TService();
            public T Run<T>(Func<TService, T> func)
            {
                return func(_service);
            }
        }
        private readonly IRunner _runner;
    
        public DataServiceAdapter()
        {
            if (typeof(IDisposable).IsAssignableFrom(typeof(TService)))
            {
                _runner = new WithUsing();
            }
            else
            {
                _runner = new WithoutUsing();
            }
        }
    
        public T Run<T>(Func<TService, T> func)
        {
            return _runner.Run<T>(func);
        }
    }
    
    public class SpecificDisposableDataService : IDataService, IDisposable
    {
        public bool Foo()
        {
            return true;
        }
    
        public int Bar(string arg)
        {
            return arg.Length;
        }
    
        public void Dispose()
        {
            //Dispose logic here
        }
    }
    
    public class SpecificNotDisposableDataService : IDataService
    {
        public bool Foo()
        {
            return false;
        }
    
        public int Bar(string arg)
        {
            return arg.Length*2;
        }
    }
    
    public interface IDataServiceAdapter<out TService>
        where TService : IDataService
    {
        T Run<T>(Func<TService, T> func);
    }
    
    public interface IDataService
    {
        bool Foo();
        int Bar(string arg);
    }
    

    Here is a working dotnetfiddle of the above: https://dotnetfiddle.net/FmNpju

    And here is another running both services: https://dotnetfiddle.net/KxEGRB
