Network Resources
The Matrix Communication Framework provides a resource system for managing and sharing distributed system resources across services.
Resource Definition
<Matrix xmlns="http://schemas.matrix.com/network/2024">
<Matrix.Resources>
<!-- Connection string resource -->
<NetworkResource x:Key="DatabaseConnection"
Type="ConnectionString"

</NetworkResource.Value>

public class NetworkResource : CommunicationElement
{

new CommunicationPropertyMetadata(

)
);

{

}Resource Provider System
public class NetworkResourceProvider : CommunicationElement
{
private readonly IResourceStore _store;
private readonly IResourceCache _cache;
private readonly ConcurrentDictionary<string, NetworkResource> _resources;
public async Task<T> GetResourceAsync<T>(string key)
{
// Check cache first
if (_cache.TryGetValue(key, out var cached))
return (T)cached;
// Load from store
var resource = await _store.LoadResourceAsync(key);
_resources.TryAdd(key, resource);
// Cache the resource
_cache.Set(key, resource.Value);
return (T)resource.Value;
}
public IObservable<T> ObserveResource<T>(string key)
{
return Observable.Create<T>(observer =>
{
// Initial value
var resource = _resources.GetOrAdd(
key,
k => _store.LoadResourceAsync(k).Result
);
observer.OnNext((T)resource.Value);
// Subscribe to changes
var subscription = resource
.ObserveValue()
.Select(v => (T)v)
.Subscribe(observer);
return subscription;
});
}
}Resource Resolution
public class ResourceResolver : CommunicationElement
{
private readonly INetworkResourceProvider _provider;
private readonly ISecurityProvider _security;
public async Task<T> ResolveResourceAsync<T>(
ResourceReference reference)
{
// Check access rights
if (!await _security.CanAccessResourceAsync(reference))
throw new ResourceAccessDeniedException(reference.Key);
// Resolve the resource
var resource = await _provider.GetResourceAsync<T>(reference.Key);
// Apply any transformations
return await TransformResourceAsync(resource, reference);
}
private async Task<T> TransformResourceAsync<T>(
T resource,
ResourceReference reference)
{
foreach (var transformer in reference.Transformers)
{
resource = await transformer.TransformAsync(resource);
}
return resource;
}
