RequestAuthorityAsync

method in Coherence.Toolkit.CoherenceSync

Methods

public Task<RequestAuthorityResult> RequestAuthorityAsync(AuthorityType authorityType, CancellationToken cancellationToken = default)

Requests authority over this entity.

Parameters

Type	Name	Description
AuthorityType	authorityType	Type of authority transferred.
CancellationToken	cancellationToken	Token that can be used to cancel the authority request.

Returns

Type	Description
Task<RequestAuthorityResult>	Task representing the asynchronous operation.

Remarks

Requires a valid CoherenceBridge instance to process the request.
Cancelling cancellationToken (or destroying the entity) completes the returned task with Canceled. This only stops awaiting the result; it does not recall an authority request that has already been sent, so authority may still be granted. The request is only prevented from being sent if the token is already cancelled when this method is called.
