Пошаговое руководство. Создание пользовательского типа блока потока данных

Хотя библиотека потоков данных предоставляет несколько типов блоков потоков данных, которые позволяют использовать различные функции, можно также создавать пользовательские типы блоков. В этом документе описано, как создать тип блока потока данных, который реализует пользовательское поведение.

Предварительные требования

Ознакомьтесь с руководством по потокам данных, прежде чем читать этот документ.

Примечание

Библиотека потоков данных TPL (пространство имен System.Threading.Tasks.Dataflow) не поставляется с .NET. Чтобы установить пространство имен System.Threading.Tasks.Dataflow в Visual Studio, откройте проект, выберите Управление пакетами NuGet в меню Проект и выполните поиск пакета System.Threading.Tasks.Dataflow в Интернете. Вы также можете установить его, выполнив в .NET Core CLI команду dotnet add package System.Threading.Tasks.Dataflow.

Определение блока потока данных скользящего окна

Рассмотрим приложение потока данных, которое требует, чтобы входные значения были буферизованы и затем выводились по принципу скользящего окна. Например, для входных значений {0, 1, 2, 3, 4, 5} и размера окна 3, блок потока данных скользящего окна создает массивы вывода {0, 1, 2}, {1, 2, 3}, {2, 3, 4} и {3, 4, 5}. В следующих разделах описываются два способа создания типа блока потока данных, который реализует это пользовательское поведение. В первом способе используется метод Encapsulate для объединения возможностей объекта ISourceBlock<TOutput> и объекта ITargetBlock<TInput> в одном блоке распространения. Второй способ определяет класс, производный от IPropagatorBlock<TInput,TOutput>, и объединяет существующие функциональные возможности для обеспечения пользовательского поведения.

Использование метода инкапсуляции для определения блока потока данных скользящего окна

В следующем примере используется метод Encapsulate для создания блока распространения из источника и целевого объекта. Блок распространения позволяет блокам источника и целевого объекта действовать в качестве отправителя и получателя данных.

Этот способ полезен, когда требуется пользовательская функциональность потока данных, но нет необходимости в типе, который предоставляет дополнительные методы, свойства или поля.

// Creates a IPropagatorBlock<T, T[]> object propagates data in a
// sliding window fashion.
public static IPropagatorBlock<T, T[]> CreateSlidingWindow<T>(int windowSize)
{
   // Create a queue to hold messages.
   var queue = new Queue<T>();

   // The source part of the propagator holds arrays of size windowSize
   // and propagates data out to any connected targets.
   var source = new BufferBlock<T[]>();

   // The target part receives data and adds them to the queue.
   var target = new ActionBlock<T>(item =>
   {
      // Add the item to the queue.
      queue.Enqueue(item);
      // Remove the oldest item when the queue size exceeds the window size.
      if (queue.Count > windowSize)
         queue.Dequeue();
      // Post the data in the queue to the source block when the queue size
      // equals the window size.
      if (queue.Count == windowSize)
         source.Post(queue.ToArray());
   });

   // When the target is set to the completed state, propagate out any
   // remaining data and set the source to the completed state.

Наследование от IPropagatorBlock для определения блока потока данных скользящего окна

В следующем примере демонстрируется класс SlidingWindowBlock. Этот класс является производным от IPropagatorBlock<TInput,TOutput>, поэтому способен действовать и как источник, и как целевой объект данных. Как и в предыдущем примере, класс SlidingWindowBlock создается на основе существующих типов блоков потока данных. Однако класс SlidingWindowBlock также реализует методы, необходимые для интерфейсов ISourceBlock<TOutput>, ITargetBlock<TInput> и IDataflowBlock. Все эти методы переадресуют работу членам предопределенных типов блоков потока данных. Например, метод Post передает работу данным-члену m_target, также являющемуся объектом ITargetBlock<TInput>.

Этот способ полезен, когда требуется пользовательская функциональность потока данных и тип, который предоставляет дополнительные методы, свойства или поля. Например, класс SlidingWindowBlock также является производным от IReceivableSourceBlock<TOutput>, чтобы он мог предоставлять методы TryReceive и TryReceiveAll. Класс SlidingWindowBlock также демонстрирует расширяемость, предоставляя свойство WindowSize, которое возвращает количество элементов в скользящем окне.
