This is achieved by adding decorators for several stores, which cache records to reduce database fetches. Additionally, a signaler for change tokens allows for cache invalidation when changes occur. The MemoryCache feature has also been updated to include Scrutor for decoration and the caching duration can be configured through the new CachingOptions class.
* Refactor WorkflowsMiddleware for HTTP Endpoint bookmarks and triggers
The WorkflowsMiddleware has been extensively refactored to handle HTTP Endpoint bookmarks and triggers. This involves breaking down the InvokeAsync method by extracting parts of its functionality into separate helper methods such as FindTriggersAsync and FindBookmarksAsync. Moreover, Assist with authorization checks, workflow execution within request timeout, and handling of workflow faults has been improved to be more efficient and clearly segmented.
* Update HTTP endpoint authorization to use Workflow context
The authorization process in the AuthenticationBasedHttpEndpointAuthorizationHandler class has been updated to use the Workflow context instead of the WorkflowInstanceId string. The AuthorizeHttpEndpointContext model has been correspondingly changed to include a Workflow property, thereby strengthening the link between authorization and specific workflows.
* Add FindAsync methods to trigger and bookmark stores
The code adjustments add new FindAsync methods to the trigger and bookmark store contracts as well as all their concrete implementations (MongoDb, Memory and EFCore). These methods support fetching the first record matching a given filter. The adjustments also include minor syntax improvements and the addition of [UsedImplicitly] attributes where needed.
* Refactor WorkflowsMiddleware for improved workflow handling
The code was refactored to simplify the flow of handling workflows in the WorkflowsMiddleware class. Specifically, the methods to start and resume a workflow have been extracted to improve code readability. Further, handleErrorMiddlewares was also updated to better manage instances where no valid workflows or base paths are found.
* Add caching functionality to WorkflowsMiddleware
Added IMemoryCache usage in the WorkflowsMiddleware to cache lookup results for workflows and their associated triggers. This will reduce the number of database operations required when searching for workflows, thus improving performance. The cache is maintained for one minute before it is refreshed.
* Implement dynamic cache duration for workflows
The code has been updated to have a dynamic cache duration for the workflows instead of a hardcoded one minute. By using the CachingOptions service, the cache duration can now be set in the configuration making it more flexible and adaptable to different performance needs.

Removed redundant lines of code to simplify workflow search functionality. This change simplified the FindWorkflowAsync method by directly calling the FindWorkflowAsync function in the workflowDefinitionService, thus increasing code readability and efficiency.
* Refactor Endpoint.cs for workflow retrieval
The method for obtaining a workflow in the Endpoint.cs script has been refactored and streamlined. The 'GetWorkflowDefinition' method is replaced by the 'GetWorkflowAsync' method which directly retrieves the workflow, without the intermediate step of materializing the workflow definition. This shortens the code and simplifies the process.
* Refactor InputFunctionsDefinitionProvider constructor
The constructor for InputFunctionsDefinitionProvider has been simplified by removing unnecessary private fields. Services are now directly used in the method instead of being stored in fields. This improves readability and reduces complexity in the class structure.
* Refactor WorkflowInstance with improved state handling
Simplified the methods for handling workflow and workflow state in the WorkflowInstance class. The refactoring also included some code clean-ups and variable renaming. The new implementation provides better readability and maintainability of the code by reducing unnecessary lines and improving structuring of objects and responses.
* Remove unused IBookmarkManager and update workflow functions
IBookmarkManager from ProtoActorWorkflowRuntime.cs file is removed due to its redundant status. Additionally, the "FindAsync" method has been updated to use a cancellation token. Also, annotations were added to the "ExportWorkflowStateAsync" and "ImportWorkflowStateAsync" methods to flag calls to functions that require unreferenced code.
* Remove unused ReSharper directive
Unused ReSharper directive in the file IndexTriggers.cs was identified and therefore removed. This change makes the code cleaner and easier to read.
* Update activity invocation in workflow runtime
Updated the DefaultBackgroundActivityInvoker service in the Elsa.Workflows.Runtime module to annotate the ExecuteAsync method with "RequiresUnreferencedCode" attribute. This change is made considering the potential code trimming issue. Additionally, simplified the process of fetching workflow by directly using FindWorkflowAsync method instead of FindWorkflowDefinitionAsync and MaterializeWorkflowAsync methods.
* Refactor code to simplify workflow definition loading
The code for finding and materializing workflow definitions has been simplified. Instead of loading the definition and materializing it into a workflow in separate steps, a new method called FindWorkflowAsync has been introduced to perform both actions at once. This reduces redundancy and makes the code more readable.
* Refactor WorkflowHostFactory to streamline workflow creation
This commit simplifies the workflow creation process in WorkflowHostFactory. It removes redundant code and extraneous methods, specifically the overloaded CreateAsync method which used WorkflowDefinition. Now, it directly finds and uses the Workflow instance, thereby simplifying the code base and improving maintainability.
* Refactor workflow retrieval in WorkflowInstance.cs
Changed the way workflow instances are retrieved from the WorkflowDefinitionService. Instead of obtaining the workflow definition and then materializing the workflow from it, the workflow is directly retrieved using the FindWorkflowAsync function. This simplifies the code and avoids unnecessary null-checks.
* Remove unnecessary whitespace in WorkflowInstance.cs
An extraneous whitespace character was identified and removed in the WorkflowInstance.cs file. This change contributes towards maintaining clean and readable code in the Elsa.ProtoActor module.
* Remove unnecessary comment in ProtoActorWorkflowRuntime
The unnecessary comment ("Load the workflow definition.") in the method TryStartWorkflowAsync of the ProtoActorWorkflowRuntime.cs file was removed. This is part of an ongoing effort to keep the codebase clean and readable.
* Update workflow management features and handlers
Added explicit notification handlers for DeleteWorkflowInstances and RefreshActivityRegistry in WorkflowManagementFeature.cs. Also, renamed RefreshActivityRegistryHandler.cs to RefreshActivityRegistry.cs for better clarity.
* Add multiple log record support to workflow execution log stores
The major change of this commit is the addition of methods to add multiple log records in the WorkflowExecutionLogStore, across different storage modules such as EntityFramework, MongoDB, Dapper, Elasticsearch and Memory. This ensures consistency and uniform behavior across different storage types. Furthermore, some reformatting and tidying up of the code were undertaken to maintain readability and clarity.
* Remove redundant workflow definition check
The workflow definition existence check and related service retrieval were removed from HttpWorkflowsMiddleware.cs. It was determined that this check was unnecessary as the workflow definition's existence is guaranteed at this point in the process, reducing redundancy in the code.
* Improve cancellation token usage in workflow execution
This commit refines the usage of cancellation tokens during the execution of workflows in Elsa.Server and HttpWorkflowsMiddleware. Previously, a cancellation token pair was created before ExecuteWithinTimeoutAsync was called, which limited duration control solely to that method. Now, cancellation tokens are included within ExecuteWithinTimeoutAsync method. This allows the method to observe any cancellation initiated by outer scopes, enhancing control over the timeout of operations.
* Add PersistStateAsync method to WorkflowHost
A new PersistStateAsync method has been added to the WorkflowHost, which enables the host to directly persist its own state. The method has been integrated into the DefaultWorkflowRuntime and HttpWorkflowsMiddleware. This update eliminates the need to continuously get instances of IWorkflowInstanceManager to save state, which improves efficiency and code readability.
* Refactor DefaultAlterationRunner service
This update simplifies the DefaultAlterationRunner service, reducing the number of code lines and removing unnecessary references. The workflow materialization step has been merged with the find workflow step, and unused namespaces have been dropped.

The documentation for the 'CanStartWorkflowAsync' method in the IWorkflowHost interface has been cleaned up. The superfluous "or not" verbiage has been removed, making it easier to understand the method's function.
* Remove Redis from DistributedCachingTransport
The Redis option was removed from the DistributedCachingTransport enumeration. This transport isn't currently implemented.
* Remove 'useDistributedCaching' constant
The 'useDistributedCaching' constant was removed from `Program.cs`, and conditional logic was updated to use `distributedCachingTransport != DistributedCachingTransport.None`. A new option 'None' was added to the `DistributedCachingTransport` enum to facilitate this change.
* Update package tags in MassTransit project file
The package tags in the Elsa.Caching.Distributed.MassTransit project file was updated to consolidate the tags, changing 'mass-transit' to 'masstransit'. This change better aligns with standard naming conventions and improves searchability.
* Refactor distributed caching implementation
This commit involves an extensive refactor of the distributed caching implementation. Distributed caching related code and resources were moved into an independent 'Elsa.Caching.Distributed' module. The interface 'IDistributedChangeTokenSignaler' was deleted and its functionality was replaced by 'IChangeTokenSignalInvoker'.
* Refactor order of parameters in GetOrCreateAsync method
The order of parameters in the GetOrCreateAsync method within the CachingWorkflowDefinitionStore class has been changed. This change ensures that the `key` parameter is now first, followed by the `factory` parameter. This improves code readability and aligns with standard coding practices.
* Refactor cache retrieval in Workflow service
Refactoring was done to streamline the way objects are retrieved from cache in the Workflow service. Duplicated code was condensed into a new `GetFromCacheAsync` method, which is now called in the existing methods, thus increasing maintainability and reducing the possibility of errors.
* Update method descriptions and fix comments formatting
Method descriptions in various contracts have been updated to more accurately reflect their function regarding record addition and updating in the persistence store. All double comment markers (/// ///) have also been corrected to the standard (///) across multiple classes.
* Remove unused caching methods in ModuleExtensions
The commit removes the unused methods, `UseMemoryCache` and `UseDistributedCache` from the `ModuleExtensions.cs` file. The removal is part of a wider cleanup and refactoring effort to streamline the codebase and improve legibility.
* Remove redundant PrimaryKeyName in DapperWorkflowExecutionLogStore
The "PrimaryKeyName" constant was removed in DapperWorkflowExecutionLogStore. This change simplifies the initialization of the '_store' property, reducing unnecessary redundancy and complexity. The refactored code maintains the same functionality but improves readability and maintainability.
* Refactor SaveAsync methods in Elsa.Dapper Store
The SaveAsync functions have been updated in the Store.cs file inside the Elsa.Dapper module. They now include cancellation token parameters and specify that they add or update records, providing clearer distinction and flexibility.
* Refactor store initialization in Elsa.Dapper modules
Removed the redundant usage of primary keys during the store initialization across Elsa.Dapper module. Simplified the SaveAsync methods by removing the parameter for primary key, making the code cleaner and more maintainable. This refactoring does not affect the module's functionality.
* Refactor UserStore in Elsa.Dapper module
The code was adjusted to improve readability within the Elsa.Dapper module's UserStore. Two lines that were previously combined have now been separated into distinct lines, making the code structure more clear.
* Refactor constructor arguments in MongoDb module
Simplified several classes in the MongoDb module by injecting dependencies directly through the constructor instead of assigning them to private readonly fields. This improves readability and removes unnecessary code lines. Also added JetBrains.Annotations where applicable.
* Fix comment syntax in IWorkflowInstanceStore
A syntax error in the comments for the method SaveManyAsync (in IWorkflowInstanceStore interface) has been corrected. This change ensures that the remarks section of the method is properly formatted and correctly displayed in documentation.
* Remove ComputeBookmarkHash from IHttpWorkflowsCacheManager
The ComputeBookmarkHash method was removed from IHttpWorkflowsCacheManager to declutter the interface. The functionality was moved and adapted in the HttpWorkflowsMiddleware class to maintain the original functionality.
* Add logging to HttpWorkflowsMiddleware
In this update, the HttpWorkflowsMiddleware class has been modified to include logging. Specifically, warning logs have been added to track workflow-related processes and to notify if mentioned bookmarks or workflow instances are not found.
* Update consumer configuration in MassTransitFeature
This commit modifies the consumer configuration in the MassTransitFeature. Instead of hardcoding the consumer type to DispatchCancelWorkflowsRequestConsumer, it now uses the dynamic consumer type retrieved from the context, making the feature more adaptable for different scenarios.
* Change default MassTransitBroker to Memory
The default value for the variable useMassTransitBroker in Elsa.Server.Web's Program.cs file has been modified. It has been changed from RabbitMq to Memory to change the message broker used by MassTransit in the application.
* Remove Datadog.Trace package from Directory.Packages.props
The Datadog.Trace package with version 2.49.0 has been removed from the Directory.Packages.props file. This change reflects the fact that this package is no longer required in our project.
* Update packages.yml for version 3.0.1
The packages.yml workflow file has been updated to target the v3.0.1 branch instead of main. The version also has been updated from 3.0.0 to 3.0.1 in the version prediction logic. Hotfix tags usage has been removed.
* Update git branch for commit verification in workflow
The Github workflow's step for verifying commits' existence has been updated. Instead of searching in the 'origin/main' branch, the workflow now checks in the 'origin/v3.0.1' branch. This modification ensures compatibility and consistency with the version being used.
* Update Elsa.Studio package versions
The Elsa.Studio and Elsa.Studio.Login.BlazorWasm packages in the Elsa.ServerAndStudio.Web and Elsa.Studio.Web projects have been updated from version 3.0.0-preview.177 to the stable version 3.0.0. This is to ensure we're using the stable and reliable versions of these packages in our projects.
* Add background execution to activities and update HTTP requests
Significantly enhanced the capabilities of background execution of activities. Included a change in activity type of "SendHttpRequest" from 'Task' to 'Action'. Introduced new classes for handling outcomes of context in background execution. Made some necessary adjustments to HTTP Request Task to handle sending HTTP requests from a background task. Updated several middleware classes to align with these modifications.
* Add background execution handling to activity context
This commit adds the ability to manage the background execution state directly within the activity execution context. This includes adding methods to set and verify the background execution state, and modifying the existing code to use these new methods. A method for handling activity scheduling during background execution has also been started, but its implementation is not finished yet. The HTTP Request activities were updated accordingly to reflect these changes.
* Add scheduling function for background activities
This commit achieves two main goals. Firstly, it introduces two new classes called ScheduledActivity and ScheduledActivityOptions to store scheduled activities' information. Secondly, it modifies how activities are executed in the background by capturing the scheduling information as a serializable format and storing it in the workflow execution context properties dictionary. This change allows the workflow execution context to resume the activity execution context.
* Refactor HTTP request handling by removing SendHttpRequestTask
SendHttpRequestTask was deleted and its functionality was merged into SendHttpRequestBase. This consolidation led to the addition of StatusCode and ResponseHeaders output fields in SendHttpRequestBase. Another change includes the update in FlowSendHttpRequest to indicate that it's no longer deprecated. Also, HttpHeaders class was extended to accommodate HttpResponseHeaders objects. The consolidation was done to streamline the HTTP request handling process.
* Update GitHub Actions workflow for new release
The GitHub Actions workflow configuration has been updated to target the '3.0.1' branch instead of 'main'. Furthermore, the preview version set in the workflow has been updated to '3.0.1-preview', changing from the previous '3.0.0-preview'.
* Update branch verification in GitHub workflow
The GitHub workflow configuration has been updated to verify that the commit exists in the branch 'origin/3.0.1' instead of 'origin/main'. This is done during the automated package generation process.

* Add IExecuteWorkflowApi interface and refine retry policy configuration
A new interface, IExecuteWorkflowApi, was created to handle execution and dispatch of workflow definitions. This breaks down functionalities previously present in IWorkflowDefinitionsApi. Also, the retry policy configuration for HTTP requests has been refactored. Instead of hardcoding retry settings, now a delegate method can be optionally passed to customize the behavior. This makes it more flexible and shifts the responsibility of configuring retry policies to the client.
* Add option for synchronous broadcast in WorkflowInbox
This update introduces a new option to control synchronicity when broadcasting messages in the WorkflowInbox. The 'BroadcastWorkflowInboxMessageOptions' class allows the developer to specify whether the broadcasting will occur synchronously or asynchronously. The update also includes a new Endpoint and Workflow for demonstration and testing of this functionality.
* Update FastEndpoints packages to version 5.21.2
The current commit updates the version of all FastEndpoints packages from 5.20.1.7-beta to 5.21.2 in the 'Elsa.Api.Common' project. This ensures we are using the most recent stable release of these packages.
#4747
* Add decimal check in PolymorphicObjectConverter
In the PolymorphicObjectConverter class, the check for primitive types and specific object types was updated to include decimal.
Fixes#4714
* Refactor Dapper workflow and update migrations
Modified the store service to optimize the SaveManyAsync method by converting input to list only once. Also, enhanced deletion query in the store service to enable usage of different primary keys. Made changes in the Dapper migrations, replacing "NodeId" with "ActivityNodeId".
* Update workflow to use main branch and version 3.1.0
The workflow has been updated to work with updates on the 'main' branch rather than the 'v3.0.1' branch. Also, the version number for the 'VERSION' variable in preview mode has been updated to 3.1.0 from 3.0.1.
* Remove unnecessary Elsa Server activities
Deleted sample files: DataSourceActivity, MyEndpoint, and MyEventWorkflow from the Elsa Server Web bundle as part of our ongoing codebase optimization strategy. These files were no longer required and their removal simplifies our code structure.
* Update package workflow to reference v3.0.1
The GitHub actions workflow has been updated to pull from branch v3.0.1 instead of main. This change affects the commit verification and version setting steps, now using version 3.0.1-preview in the workflow process.
* Update Elsa.Studio packages to version 3.0.1-preview.196
This commit involves updating the versions of `Elsa.Studio`, `Elsa.Studio.Core.BlazorWasm`, and `Elsa.Studio.Login.BlazorWasm` packages in `Elsa.ServerAndStudio.Web.csproj` and `ElsaStudioWebAssembly.csproj` files to 3.0.1-preview.196. This update will incorporate the new changes and improvements included in this newer version.
* Update Elsa.Studio package versions
The Elsa.Studio and Elsa.Studio.Login.BlazorWasm package versions have been updated in the Elsa.Studio.Web project. Both package versions have been upgraded from 3.0.0 to 3.0.1-preview.196.
* Remove unused Workflow models and simplify AddStorageDriver method
The commit removes BackgroundExecutionOutcome and BackgroundExecutionResult models from Elsa.Workflows.Core, as they are no longer in use. Additionally, it simplifies the AddStorageDriver extension method in ModuleExtensions.cs, now it directly adds the service as an implementation of the IStorageDriver interface.
* Remove unnecessary dependencies in DefaultBackgroundActivityInvoker
Dependencies on IBookmarksPersister and IWorkflowStateExtractor have been removed in the DefaultBackgroundActivityInvoker.cs file. Additionally, an unused `using` statement for Elsa.Workflows.Helpers has been eliminated. This commit aims to declutter the code and increase its maintainability by eliminating unnecessary dependencies.

* 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.
