dotnet-managedcode-orleans-graph

name	dotnet-managedcode-orleans-graph
description	Integrate ManagedCode.Orleans.Graph into an Orleans-based .NET application for graph-oriented relationships, edge management, and traversal logic on top of Orleans grains. Use when the application models graph structures in a distributed Orleans system.
compatibility	Requires a .NET application that integrates ManagedCode.Orleans.Graph or evaluates graph-style modeling with Orleans.

ManagedCode.Orleans.Graph

Trigger On

• integrating ManagedCode.Orleans.Graph into an Orleans-based system
• modeling graph relationships, edges, or traversal behavior with Orleans grains
• reviewing graph-oriented distributed workflows on top of Orleans
• deciding whether a graph abstraction is the right fit vs relational modeling

Workflow

1. Install the library:

   dotnet add package ManagedCode.Orleans.Graph
   

2. Confirm the application has a real graph problem — node-to-node relationships, directed/undirected edges, or traversal queries. If the data is tabular or hierarchical, prefer standard Orleans grain patterns instead.
3. Model graph entities as grains:
   • nodes map to grain identities
   • edges represent relationships between grains
   • traversal operations query across grain boundaries
4. Implement graph operations:

   // Define a graph grain interface
   public interface  : 
   {
       ;
       Task<IReadOnlyList<>> GetNeighbors( edgeType);
       ;
       ;
   }
