Class RequestFactoryManager

Namespace: mobisim.Network

Auto-discovery registry that maps each RequestMethod enum value to its corresponding IRequestFactory implementation.

public static class RequestFactoryManager

Inheritance

object→RequestFactoryManager

Remarks

Rather than maintaining a hand-written registry, the static constructor scans the assembly for every non-abstract type that implements IRequestFactory and carries a RequestUsageAttribute. This means that adding a new transport (e.g., a WebSocket factory) requires only a new class decorated with the attribute — no change to this manager or to DataSender.

The registry is intentionally static and eagerly initialized: request factories are stateless configuration objects and the scan needs to happen only once per application lifetime. Registering duplicate factories for the same RequestMethod throws immediately at startup, so misconfiguration is caught before any data is sent.

Methods

CreateRequestOfType(RequestMethod)

Convenience shortcut that resolves the factory for type and immediately creates a default (no-payload) IRequest.

public static IRequest CreateRequestOfType(RequestMethod type)

Parameters

Name	Type	Description
type	RequestMethod	Transport method to use.

Returns

IRequest — A new IRequest ready to execute.

Exceptions

ArgumentException — Thrown if no factory is registered for type.

CreateRequestOfType(RequestMethod, string, string)

Convenience shortcut that resolves the factory for type and immediately creates a data-carrying IRequest with the given record name and JSON body.

public static IRequest CreateRequestOfType(RequestMethod type, string nameField, string dataField)

Parameters

Name	Type	Description
type	RequestMethod	Transport method to use.
nameField	string	Record identifier passed to String).
dataField	string	Serialised JSON payload passed to the factory.

Returns

IRequest — A new IRequest initialised with the given payload.

Exceptions

ArgumentException — Thrown if no factory is registered for type.

GetFactoryByConfig(RequestMethod)

Returns the IRequestFactory registered for methodType.

public static IRequestFactory GetFactoryByConfig(RequestMethod methodType)

Parameters

Name	Type	Description
methodType	RequestMethod	Transport method to look up.

Returns

IRequestFactory — The factory registered for methodType.

Remarks

Prefer IRequestFactory@) at runtime call sites where a missing factory should be handled gracefully (e.g., DataSender). Use this overload only when a missing factory is a programming error that should crash loudly.

Exceptions

KeyNotFoundException — Thrown if no factory is registered for methodType.

TryGetFactoryByConfig(RequestMethod, out IRequestFactory)

Attempts to retrieve the IRequestFactory for methodType without throwing if the key is absent.

public static bool TryGetFactoryByConfig(RequestMethod methodType, out IRequestFactory factory)

Parameters

Name	Type	Description
methodType	RequestMethod	Transport method to look up.
factory	IRequestFactory	Receives the registered factory, or null if not found.

Returns

bool — true if a factory was found; false otherwise.
