A new BatchProcessing sample project has been added demonstrating how to process items in batches. ForEach and ParallelForEach activities were updated to allow using an IAsyncEnumerable as source. BulkDispatchWorkflows was also refactored to improve its efficiency and handling.
* add a more generic UIHandler to customize how inputAttributes can be handle by the ui
* Add IPropertyUIHandlerResolver and update PropertyUIHandlerResolver
Introduced a new interface, IPropertyUIHandlerResolver, to resolve UI options for a property. Refactored PropertyUIHandlerResolver to implement this interface and removed the unnecessary partial class structure. Also, cleaned up some unnecessary usings in various files for better code organization.
* Refactor variable name and description in InputDescriptor
The 'uISpecifications' variable in the InputDescriptor model is renamed to 'uiSpecifications' for better readability. Additionally, the associated comment was revised to explain that the dictionary is used by the UI.
* "Refactor codebase for improved organization and cleaner architecture"
The codebase has been significantly refactored, moving several classes to more appropriate namespaces for improved organization and cleaner architecture. This includes shifting UI hint handlers, activities, and memory-related components, amongst others. The changes should improve code readability and maintainability, but as this is a broad refactoring effort, thorough regression testing is advised.
* Add CheckList UIHint with associated handler and provider
This update introduces a new UIHint called CheckList to the Elsa.Workflows.Core. This includes the necessary handler and provider classes. The handler is registered in the WorkflowsFeature.cs, and the CheckList UIHint key has been added to the InputUIHints.cs. Various associated files have been created in both the Elsa.Api.Client and Elsa.Workflows.Core project to support this new UIHint.

The AutoComplete option has been added to the workflow bookmarks, which determines whether the activity should automatically be completed if no callback is specified. This change improves the flexibility of bookmark creation and impacts various workflow elements and procedures. The corresponding adjustments have been made at functions where bookmarks are used or created.
The BulkDispatchWorkflows.cs activity in Elsa.Workflows.Runtime module has been updated with some key changes: Added detailed description to the input element, introduced the dispatchedInstancesCount to accurately track the number of instances dispatched, and removed some unnecessary white spaces for improved readability.
The ActivityKind property in BulkDispatchWorkflows class has been changed from Job to Task. This updates the type of activity associated with the BulkDispatchWorkflows process within the Elsa workflow runtime module.
Background activities scheduling was moved to its own middleware where the actual scheduling happens instead of in the invoking middleware. Removed ScheduleBackgroundActivities.cs handler and added ScheduleBackgroundActivitiesMiddleware.cs instead. As a part of this change, restructured BackgroundActivityInvokerMiddleware to BackgroundActivityCollectorMiddleware, and updated all relevant references.
Minor modifications to a few other files include changes in their package dependencies and activity kind settings.
The changes introduce a batch processing mechanism in the BulkDispatchWorkflows activity. Previously, each workflow was dispatched individually. Now, the process groups the workflows in batches, processes each batch concurrently, and handles errors. This change improves performance, particularly for large data sources.
* Initial version of BulkDispatchWorkflow
* Update comments
* Refactor options models for running workflows and add Properties
* Fix resumption
* Add ability to provide arguments when evaluating expressions
* Update args syntax for JS
* Fix ProtoActor Runtime Properties mapping
* Use default constructor
* Provide completed workflow instance ID as input to BulkDispatchWorkflows
* Implement ChildFaulted port
* Switch to Publish to make Memory service bus work
* Update input evaluation and activity output retrieval
Refined the input evaluation process to only consider inputs with AutoEvaluate set to true. Added a comment to clarify the purpose of the GetActivitiesWithOutputs method. Removed the unnecessary check for AutoEvaluate from the EvaluateInputPropertyAsync method.
This fixes the issue where its bookmark would include the activity instance ID, which causes the task completion reporter to miss the bookmark, since the activity instance ID is not included. Including the activity instance ID is not necessary for locating the correct activity instance because the generated Task ID is unique for each activity run.
