CancellationTokenFactory

CancellationTokenFactory is a small helper that keeps a “current” CancellationTokenSource and automatically re-instantiates it after the previous source has been cancelled.

This is useful for repeated operations (search, refresh, polling, etc.) where you want a simple “cancel current run / next run gets a fresh token” workflow.

Basic Usage

using Garyon.Objects;

var factory = new CancellationTokenFactory();

// Start an operation with the current token
await DoWorkAsync(factory.CurrentToken);

// Cancel the current token source (if any)
factory.Cancel();

// The next time you read CurrentToken/CurrentSource after cancellation,
// the factory creates a new CTS lazily.
await DoWorkAsync(factory.CurrentToken);

Notes

  • Cancel() cancels the current source; it does not create a new source immediately.
  • Cancel() cancels and disposes the current source (via CancelDispose()).
  • Capture CurrentToken once per operation and pass it through (avoid re-reading it mid-operation).
  • CancellationTokenFactory does not synchronize access; add your own locking if used concurrently.
  • Dispose() disposes the current source without cancelling it.
