For this week, I managed to finish up the updating of the progress bar for the UI when they user does the accept command. Furthermore, I also managed to fix the problem of the threading issue when testing the background service. I created another endpoint which will cancel the ongoing accept task if the user wish to cancel it.
The cancel request is POST request which take the guid from the accept command. When the user send the guid, the API will check if the concurrent dictionary with the following guid exist or not. From there, if the dictionary exist, the current accept process will be stopped. Mr. Peter also mentioned to make sure the code doesn’t crash when the cancellation is requested and that the background service will still continue running even an exception is thrown.
Lastly, I need to implement SignalR into the background which would essentially send back the progress of the ongoing accept command instead of having the user request the progress every few seconds. Currently, I still trying to create the client side of the SignalR after creating the server side.
