MultiSerializer

To use the MultiSerializer, configure it within the operation you need (it is commonly used for small CSV operations).

Basic Setup

Start by configuring the main serializer (e.g., CSV):

• In this case, a CsvConfigFactory class is created to establish the CSV configuration:

public static class CsvConfigFactory
{
    // Returns a default configuration for the CsvSerializer
    public static CsvSerializerConfiguration GetDefaultConfiguration()
    {
        // CsvSerializerConfiguration is a class defined in Connectors
        return new CsvSerializerConfiguration
        {
            Delimiter = ",",
            HasHeaderRecord = true,
            IgnoreBlankLines = true
        };
    }
}

Then use it in the operations Extensions class:

var csvConfiguration = CsvSerializerConfiguration.GetDefaultConfiguration();

services
    .AddMultiSerializer(new CsvSerializer<FtpRequest, IEnumerable<Hotel>>(csvConfiguration))
    .AddPreSerializer<CompressionSerializer, CompressionSerializerConfiguration>(o => {
        o.CompressionType = CompressionType.TarGZ;
        o.FileName = TgxPlatform.HOTEL_LIST;
    });

services.AddHotelListFullOperation<HotelListFullOperation, IEnumerable<Hotel>, AccessModel>(
    TgxPlatform.Name, configuration);
Advanced PreSerializer Usage

You can also dynamically select a file inside a compressed archive:

services
    .AddMultiSerializer(new CsvSerializer<FtpRequest, IEnumerable<Hotel>>(csvConfiguration))
    .AddPreSerializer<CompressionSerializer, CompressionSerializerConfiguration>(o => {
        o.CompressionType = CompressionType.TarGZ;
        o.SelectFileFunction = fileList => {
            foreach (var fileName in fileList)
            {
                if (fileName.Contains(DateTime.Now.ToShortDateString()))
                    return fileName;
            }
            // FILE NOT FOUND
            return null;
        };
    });
