Interface ICustomStructuredBackendDefinition

Extension point for project-defined structured-store backends. Implement this interface on a UnityStructuredBackendDefinition subclass in your own assembly and assign the asset wherever a backend definition is accepted (e.g. UnityStructuredLogSettings.Backend): consumer factories check for this interface BEFORE their built-in backend types, so a custom definition takes precedence over the built-in construction paths.

Namespace: Serenity.StructuredPersistence.Extensibility

Assembly: Serenity.UnityStructuredPersistence.Extensibility.dll

Syntax

public interface ICustomStructuredBackendDefinition

Methods

CreateStore(ILogService)

Creates the custom structured store this definition configures.

Declaration

IStructuredStore CreateStore(ILogService logService)

Parameters

Type	Name	Description
ILogService	logService	Logging service the store may use to report its own failures. May be null.

Returns

Type	Description
IStructuredStore	The constructed store, or null when the backend cannot be constructed.

Remarks

Contract: this method MAY throw, and MAY return null — the calling factory treats both as "backend unavailable", logs a warning, and falls back to its built-in default backend. Never let a failure here crash the caller by other means (e.g. background threads); construction runs synchronously during installation.
