## Supported targets

Polly targets .NET Standard 2.0+ ([coverage](https://docs.microsoft.com/dotnet/standard/net-standard#net-implementation-support): .NET Core 2.0+, .NET Core 3.0, .NET 6.0+ and later Mono, Xamarin and UWP targets). The NuGet package also includes direct targets for .NET Framework 4.6.1 and 4.7.2.

For details of supported compilation targets by version, see the [supported targets](https://github.com/App-vNext/Polly/wiki/Supported-targets) grid.

## Asynchronous support

Polly provides native support for asynchronous operations through all its resilience strategies by offering the `ExecuteAsync` methods on the `ResiliencePipeline` class.

### SynchronizationContext

By default, asynchronous continuations and retries do not execute on a captured synchronization context. To modify this behavior, you can use the `ResilienceContext` class and set its `ContinueOnCapturedContext` property to `true`. The following example illustrates this:

<!-- snippet: synchronization-context -->
```cs
// Retrieve an instance of ResilienceContext from the pool
// with the ContinueOnCapturedContext property set to true
ResilienceContext context = ResilienceContextPool.Shared.Get(continueOnCapturedContext: true);

await pipeline.ExecuteAsync(
async context =>
{
// Execute your code, honoring the ContinueOnCapturedContext setting
await MyMethodAsync(context.CancellationToken).ConfigureAwait(context.ContinueOnCapturedContext);
},
context);

// Optionally, return the ResilienceContext instance back to the pool
// to minimize allocations and enhance performance
ResilienceContextPool.Shared.Return(context);
```
<!-- endSnippet -->

### Cancellation support

Asynchronous pipeline execution in Polly supports cancellation. This is facilitated through the `ExecuteAsync(...)` method overloads that accept a `CancellationToken`, or by initializing the `ResilienceContext` class with the `CancellationToken` property.

The `CancellationToken` you pass to the `ExecuteAsync(...)` method serves multiple functions:

- It cancels resilience actions such as retries, wait times between retries, or rate-limiter leases.
- It is passed to any delegate executed by the strategy as a `CancellationToken` parameter, enabling cancellation during the delegate's execution.
- Is consistent with the .NET Base Class Library's (BCL) behavior in `Task.Run(...)`, if the cancellation token is cancelled before execution begins, the user-defined delegate will not execute at all.

<!-- snippet: cancellation-token -->
```cs
// Execute your code with cancellation support
await pipeline.ExecuteAsync(
async token => await MyMethodAsync(token),
cancellationToken);

// Use ResilienceContext for more advanced scenarios
ResilienceContext context = ResilienceContextPool.Shared.Get(cancellationToken: cancellationToken);

await pipeline.ExecuteAsync(
async context => await MyMethodAsync(context.CancellationToken),
context);
```
<!-- endSnippet -->

## Thread safety

All Polly resilience strategies are fully thread-safe. You can safely re-use strategies at multiple call sites, and execute through strategies concurrently on different threads.

> [!IMPORTANT]
> While the internal operation of the strategy is thread-safe, this does not automatically make delegates you execute through the strategy thread-safe: if delegates you execute through the strategy are not thread-safe, they remain not thread-safe.

# Resilience Context

> [!NOTE]
> This is documentation for the upcoming Polly v8 release.
The `ResilienceContext` class in Polly provides an execution-scoped instance that accompanies each execution through a Polly resilience strategy. This class serves to share context and facilitate information exchange between the pre-execution, mid-execution, and post-execution phases.

The resilience context exposes several properties:

- `OperationKey`: A user-defined identifier for the operation.
- `CancellationToken`: The cancellation token linked to the operation.
- `Properties`: An instance of `ResilienceProperties` for attaching custom data to the context.
- `ContinueOnCapturedContext`: Specifies whether the asynchronous execution should continue on the captured context.

## Usage

Below is an example demonstrating how to work with `ResilienceContext`:

<!-- snippet: resilience-context -->
```cs
// Retrieve a context with a cancellation token
ResilienceContext context = ResilienceContextPool.Shared.Get(cancellationToken);

// Attach custom data to the context
context.Properties.Set(MyResilienceKeys.Key1, "my-data");
context.Properties.Set(MyResilienceKeys.Key2, 123);

// Utilize the context in a resilience pipeline
ResiliencePipeline pipeline = new ResiliencePipelineBuilder()
.AddRetry(new()
{
OnRetry = static args =>
{
// Retrieve custom data from the context, if available
if (args.Context.Properties.TryGetValue(MyResilienceKeys.Key1, out var data))
{
Console.WriteLine("OnRetry, Custom Data: {0}", data);
}

return default;
}
})
.Build();

// Execute the resilience pipeline asynchronously
await pipeline.ExecuteAsync(
async context =>
{
// Insert your execution logic here
},
context);

// Return the context to the pool
ResilienceContextPool.Shared.Return(context);
```
<!-- endSnippet -->

Where `ResilienceKeys` is defined as:

<!-- snippet: resilience-keys -->
```cs
public static class MyResilienceKeys
{
public static readonly ResiliencePropertyKey<string> Key1 = new("my-key-1");

public static readonly ResiliencePropertyKey<int> Key2 = new("my-key-2");
}
```
<!-- endSnippet -->

## Resilient context pooling

<!-- Overview -->
The `ResilienceContext` object is resource-intensive to create, and recreating it for each execution would negatively impact performance. To address this issue, Polly provides a `ResilienceContextPool`. This pool allows you to obtain and reuse `ResilienceContext` instances. Once you've finished using a context instance, you can return it to the pool. This action will reset the context to its initial state, making it available for reuse.

<!-- Methods -->
The `ResilienceContextPool` offers several `Get` methods. These methods not only allow you to retrieve a `ResilienceContext` instance, but also enable you to initialize some of its properties at the time of retrieval.

<!-- snippet: resilience-context-pool -->
```cs
// Retrieve a context with a cancellation token
ResilienceContext context = ResilienceContextPool.Shared.Get(cancellationToken);

try
{
// Retrieve a context with a specific operation key
context = ResilienceContextPool.Shared.Get("my-operation-key", cancellationToken);

// Retrieve a context with multiple properties
context = ResilienceContextPool.Shared.Get(
operationKey: "my-operation-key",
continueOnCapturedContext: true,
cancellationToken: cancellationToken);

// Use the pool here
}
finally
{
// Returning the context back to the pool is recommended, but not required as it reduces the allocations.
// It is also OK to not return the context in case of exceptions, if you want to avoid try-catch blocks.
ResilienceContextPool.Shared.Return(context);
}
```

# Resilience Pipeline Registry

> [!NOTE]
> This is documentation for the upcoming Polly v8 release.
The `ResiliencePipelineRegistry<TKey>` is a generic class that provides the following functionalities:

- Thread-safe retrieval and dynamic creation of both generic and non-generic resilience pipelines.
- Dynamic reloading of resilience pipelines when configurations change.
- Support for registering both generic and non-generic resilience pipeline builders, enabling dynamic pipeline instance creation.
- Automatic resource management, including disposal of resources tied to resilience pipelines.

> [!NOTE]
> The generic `TKey` parameter specifies the key type used for caching individual resilience pipelines within the registry. In most use-cases, you will be working with `ResiliencePipelineRegistry<string>`.
## Usage

🚧 This documentation is being written as part of the Polly v8 release.
