This branch is the starting point, the solution I came up with is in the "bridged" branch. 4 | 5 | The post: https://blog.aaronlenoir.com/2016/04/20/integrating-wpf-and-akka-net-2 6 | 7 | Full text: 8 | 9 | I'm wondering how to combine an Akka.NET actor system with a WPF front-end. 10 | 11 | The [Actor Model](http://doc.akka.io/docs/akka/snapshot/general/actors.html) provides a nice way to build concurrent systems. There are several implementations for .NET. [Orleans](https://github.com/dotnet/orleans) and [Akka.Net](http://getakka.net/) are the best known. 12 | 13 | As an excercise, let's build a "thermostat" system. 14 | 15 | I'll leave out some implementation details so we can focus on the integration. 16 | 17 | ## The Thermostat System 18 | 19 | The system will display both the current and the desired temperature to the user. 20 | 21 | It'll have two buttons to increase and decrease the desired temperature. 22 | 23 | In the background, the system should control the heating but we'll ignore that bit here. 24 | 25 | ### UI 26 | 27 | We'll create a basic WPF application with MVVM. The ViewModel will have a property for the current temperature and the target temperature. 28 | 29 | It also accepts two commands: ```IncreaseTargetTemperature``` and ```DecreaseTargetTemperature```. 30 | 31 | ### Back-end 32 | 33 | The back-end should have a thermometer that takes measurements on a regular basis. 34 | 35 | It should also keep track of the target temperature, set by the user. 36 | 37 | The target temperature can change by two messages sent to the system: 38 | 39 | * Increase the target temperature 40 | * Reduce the target temperature 41 | 42 | As output, the system should emit: 43 | 44 | * The current temperature, when a measurement takes place 45 | * The target temperature, when it's changed 46 | 47 | ## Thermostat Actor System 48 | 49 | ### Actors 50 | 51 | This simple actor system can consist of two Actors: 52 | 53 | * TemperatureSensorActor 54 | * ThermostatActor 55 | 56 | ### TemperatureSensor 57 | 58 | The TemperatureSensor sends a message ```TemperatureMeasured``` to its Parent actor. This happens as a response to a ```TakeMeasurement``` message. 59 | 60 | The TemperatureSensor sends the ```TakeMeasurement``` to itself on a fixed interval. 61 | 62 | ### Thermostat 63 | 64 | The Thermostat is in charge of creating a TemperatureSensor. 65 | 66 | It's a ["pub-sub"](https://github.com/petabridge/akka-bootcamp/blob/0ac15bdc4dbe54f9169e8e6e026bf0ec28e8f2a2/src/Unit-2/lesson3/README.md#how-do-i-do-pubsub-with-akkanet-actors) actor that should send to its subscribers the following messages: 67 | 68 | * ```TargetTemperatureSet``` 69 | * ```TemperatureMeasured``` 70 | 71 | ## Bridge 72 | 73 | With the UI and the actor system ready, we can start to make them talk with each other. 74 | 75 | > The code we start with is on [github](https://github.com/AaronLenoir/AkkaAndWpfExample/tree/master). If you want to try this yourself first, you could fork it. If not, just read on to see how I do it. 76 | 77 | To support this, WPF should react to messages sent by the Actors. At the same time, WPF should be able to send messages to the Actor System, in some way. 78 | 79 | To support this communication we could create a "Bridge". The Bridge will contain: 80 | 81 | * A Bridge Actor 82 | * One or more public functions 83 | 84 | The Bridge Actor will have a reference to the ViewModel. The ViewModel will have a reference to the Bridge (not the Bridge Actor!). 85 | 86 | The Bridge can expose methods the ViewModel can call which pass messages to the Actor System. For example, a method ```IncreaseTargetTemperature```. 87 | 88 | The Bridge Actor calls functions exposed by the ViewModel. These will update the ViewModel's properties. The actor does this only while handling messages. 89 | 90 | ### Bridge Interfaces 91 | 92 | To avoid exposing the entire ViewModel to the Bridge Actor, an interface seems like a good idea. And an interface to abstract away the Bridge passed to the ViewModel would also help. 93 | 94 | In short, we'll have two Interfaces. One implemented by the ViewModel, the other by the Bridge itself. 95 | 96 | We can define these two interfaces: 97 | 98 | * ```IThermostatView``` 99 | * ```UpdateCurrentTemperature``` 100 | * ```UpdateTargetTemperature``` 101 | * ```IThermostatBridge``` 102 | * ```IncreaseTargetTemperature``` 103 | * ```DecreaseTargetTemperature``` 104 | 105 | The Bridge Actor references ```IThermostatView``` while the ViewModel implements it. 106 | 107 | The ViewModel references ```IThermostatBridge``` while the Bridge implements it. 108 | 109 | ## Implementation 110 | 111 | ### Views 112 | 113 | The views, as discussed above, are simple: 114 | 115 | ``` 116 | // Implemented by the Bridge 117 | public interface IThermostatBridge 118 | { 119 | void IncreaseTargetTemperature(); 120 | void DecreaseTargetTemperature(); 121 | } 122 | ``` 123 | 124 | ``` 125 | // Implemented by the ViewModel (in the WPF project) 126 | public interface IThermostatView 127 | { 128 | void UpdateCurrentTemperature(double currentTemperature); 129 | void UpdateTargetTemperature(double targetTemperature); 130 | } 131 | ``` 132 | 133 | ### Bridge Actor 134 | 135 | The Bridge Actor is small, just passing messages around. It does have two dependencies. 136 | 137 | ``` 138 | public class BridgeActor : ReceiveActor 139 | { 140 | private IThermostatView _thermostatView; 141 | private IActorRef _thermostatActor; 142 | 143 | public BridgeActor(IThermostatView thermostatView, IActorRef thermostatActor) 144 | { 145 | _thermostatView = thermostatView; 146 | _thermostatActor = thermostatActor; 147 | Become(Active); 148 | } 149 | 150 | public void Active() 151 | { 152 | Receive(message => _thermostatView.UpdateCurrentTemperature(message.Temperature)); 153 | Receive(message => _thermostatView.UpdateTargetTemperature(message.TargetTemperature)); 154 | Receive(message => _thermostatActor.Tell(message)); 155 | Receive(message => _thermostatActor.Tell(message)); 156 | } 157 | } 158 | ``` 159 | 160 | ### Bridge 161 | 162 | The bridge will implement the ```IThermostatBridge``` interface: 163 | 164 | ``` 165 | public class ThermostatBridge : IThermostatBridge 166 | { 167 | private IActorRef _bridgeActor; 168 | 169 | private readonly IncreaseTargetTemperature increaseMessage = new IncreaseTargetTemperature(1); 170 | private readonly DecreaseTargetTemperature decreaseMessage = new DecreaseTargetTemperature(1); 171 | 172 | public ThermostatBridge(IActorRef bridgeActor) 173 | { 174 | _bridgeActor = bridgeActor; 175 | } 176 | 177 | public void IncreaseTargetTemperature() 178 | { 179 | _bridgeActor.Tell(increaseMessage); 180 | } 181 | 182 | public void DecreaseTargetTemperature() 183 | { 184 | _bridgeActor.Tell(decreaseMessage); 185 | } 186 | } 187 | ``` 188 | ### System Creation 189 | 190 | I already had a seperate class to create the Actor System. For the excercise, I'll create the system when the WPF app starts. But this might not be the ideal place. 191 | 192 | ``` 193 | public partial class App : Application 194 | { 195 | private static WpfAkkaIntegration.ThermostatSystem.ThermostatSystem _system = new WpfAkkaIntegration.ThermostatSystem.ThermostatSystem(); 196 | 197 | public static WpfAkkaIntegration.ThermostatSystem.ThermostatSystem ThermostatSystem => _system; 198 | } 199 | ``` 200 | 201 | In that class, there's a function ```CreateThermostatBridge``` which can create our Bridge. Here's the full ThermostatSystem class: 202 | 203 | ``` 204 | public class ThermostatSystem 205 | { 206 | private ActorSystem _system; 207 | private IActorRef _thermostatActor; 208 | 209 | public ThermostatSystem() 210 | { 211 | _system = ActorSystem.Create(nameof(ThermostatSystem)); 212 | _thermostatActor = CreateThermostatActor(); 213 | } 214 | 215 | private IActorRef CreateThermostatActor() 216 | { 217 | var props = Props.Create(); 218 | return _system.ActorOf(props, "thermostat"); 219 | } 220 | 221 | public IThermostatBridge CreateThermostatBridge(IThermostatView thermostatView) 222 | { 223 | var bridgeActor = CreateBridgeActor(thermostatView); 224 | _thermostatActor.Tell(new Subscribe(bridgeActor)); 225 | 226 | return new ThermostatBridge(bridgeActor); 227 | } 228 | 229 | private IActorRef CreateBridgeActor(IThermostatView thermostatView) 230 | { 231 | var props = Props.Create(() => new BridgeActor(thermostatView, _thermostatActor)) 232 | .WithDispatcher("akka.actor.synchronized-dispatcher"); 233 | return _system.ActorOf(props, "bridge"); 234 | } 235 | } 236 | ``` 237 | 238 | #### Synchronized Dispatcher 239 | 240 | The code above creates the BridgeActor using the [synchronized dispatcher](http://getakka.net/docs/working-with-actors/Dispatchers#synchronizeddispatcher). 241 | 242 | This makes that actor run on the UI-thread, so calling methods on the ViewModel should be safe. 243 | 244 | From the [akka.net docs](http://getakka.net/docs/working-with-actors/Dispatchers#synchronizeddispatcher): 245 | 246 | > You may use this dispatcher to create actors that update UIs in a reactive manner. An application that displays real-time updates of stock prices may have a dedicated actor to update the UI controls directly for example. 247 | 248 | > **Note:** As a general rule, actors running in this dispatcher shouldn't do much work. Avoid doing any extra work that may be done by actors running in other pools. 249 | 250 | ### Bridge Creation 251 | 252 | Finally we have everything to hook it all up in the ViewModel. 253 | 254 | ``` 255 | public MainViewModel() 256 | { 257 | _bridge = App.ThermostatSystem.CreateThermostatBridge(this); 258 | 259 | IncreaseTargetTemperature = new RelayCommand(() => _bridge.IncreaseTargetTemperature()); 260 | DecreaseTargetTemperature = new RelayCommand(() => _bridge.DecreaseTargetTemperature()); 261 | } 262 | ``` 263 | 264 | You can also see the implementation of the two commands the view can receive. 265 | 266 | I do this in the constructor of the ViewModel for this excercise. In real life, I suppose dependency injection would be adviceable. But then the ViewModel would still need to assign itself to the Bridge afterwards. 267 | 268 | ## Result 269 | 270 | Running the app gives me this WPF app that updates its view based on messages that occur in the Actor System. 271 | 272 | Additionally, the view triggers changes to the system by sending it messages. It does this when it receives a command. 273 | 274 | When you click a button in WPF, all it does is ask the bridge to increase the target temperature. The Actor System will then process that message. When it's done, the Actor System forwards a new message back to WPF so it can update the view. 275 | 276 | This is all asynchronous, because of the actor system. 277 | 278 | In the example, the current temperature only goes up. This is because I did not simulate an actual room that heats. I decided to just let the temperature increase at every measurement taken. Just to show the temperature is changing. 279 | 280 | ### Code 281 | 282 | The example project is on github: 283 | 284 | * [Finished](https://github.com/AaronLenoir/AkkaAndWpfExample/tree/bridged) 285 | * [Before creating the bridge](https://github.com/AaronLenoir/AkkaAndWpfExample/tree/master) 286 | 287 | ## Conclusion 288 | 289 | It's possible to loosely couple a WPF app with an Akka.NET Actor System. I used something I called a Bridge, [but there must be a better name](https://web.archive.org/web/20160420223239/http://martinfowler.com/bliki/TwoHardThings.html). 290 | 291 | Something I don't like here is that the Bridge and Bridge Actor should be more generic. It mentions "Thermostat" everywhere. 292 | 293 | Do you think this is a reasonable way to put a WPF front-end on an Akka.NET Actor System? Let me know in the comments, or on [twitter](https://www.twitter.com/lenoir_aaron) or something. 294 | --------------------------------------------------------------------------------
