Class PollingDataSourceBuilder

Contains methods for configuring the polling data source.

Inheritance
System.Object
PollingDataSourceBuilder
Namespace: LaunchDarkly.Sdk.Client.Integrations
Assembly: LaunchDarkly.ClientSdk.dll
Syntax
public sealed class PollingDataSourceBuilder : Object, IComponentConfigurer<IDataSource>, IDiagnosticDescription
Remarks

Polling is not the default behavior; by default, the SDK uses a streaming connection to receive feature flag data from LaunchDarkly. In polling mode, the SDK instead makes a new HTTP request to LaunchDarkly at regular intervals. HTTP caching allows it to avoid redundantly downloading data if there have been no changes, but polling is still less efficient than streaming and should only be used on the advice of LaunchDarkly support.

To use polling mode, create a builder with PollingDataSource(), change its properties with the methods of this class, and pass it to DataSource(IComponentConfigurer<IDataSource>).

Setting Offline(Boolean) to true will supersede this setting and completely disable network requests.

Examples
    var config = Configuration.Builder(sdkKey)
        .DataSource(Components.PollingDataSource()
            .PollInterval(TimeSpan.FromSeconds(45)))
        .Build();
