Type Parameters

THierarchyItem

Type implements IHierarchyItemBase

This class provides the engine with information about currently executing context. It holds request, response and provides item factory method GetHierarchyItemAsync(String) to resolve items by path.

The library provides a set of context classes derived from this class, that provide constructors for .NET Core, ASP.NET, HttpLitener and other environments. Typically you will not derive your class directly from this class. Instead, you will derive your class from one of the context classes designed for your environment, such as ContextCoreAsyncTHierarchyItemAsync, ContextWebAsyncTHierarchyItem, etc.

When inheriting you must implement the GetHierarchyItemAsync(String) method. In this method, you will search for items (files, folders, versions, etc.) in your storage by path provided and return it to the engine.

In each HTTP request you will create a separate instance of your class and pass it to RunAsync(ContextAsyncTHierarchyItemAsync) method.

You can implement your own request and response classes to run the engine in virtually any hosting environment.
