CustomDapperEntityActions 1.0.3

CustomDapperEntityActions

A .NET package that provides Entity Framework Core-like actions using Dapper, designed for developers whose companies restrict the use of EF Core.

Overview

CustomDapperEntityActions bridges the gap between Dapper's lightweight performance and Entity Framework Core's convenient entity management features. It offers familiar entity action patterns while maintaining Dapper's speed and flexibility.

Features

• EF Core-style entity operations
• Built on top of Dapper for optimal performance
• Compatible with .NET 9.0
• Support for common CRUD operations

Installation

Install via NuGet Package Manager: dotnet add package CustomDapperEntityActions --version 1.0.2

How to use

1. Define entities

[Table("[schema].[table]")]
public class Plant
{
   [Key]
   [Column("id")]
   public int Id { get; set; }

   [Column("description")]
   public string? Description { get; set; }

   [Column("is_active")]
   public bool IsAcive { get; set; }
}

2. Create DbContext

public class ApplicationDbContext : IDisposable
{
    // if using postgres, sql also possible
    private readonly NpgsqlConnection _connection;
    private IDbTransaction _transaction;

    // The entity we just made
    public DapperSet<Plant> Plants { get; }


    public ApplicationDbContext(string connectionString)
    {
        _connection = new NpgsqlConnection(connectionString);
        _connection.Open();
        _transaction = _connection.BeginTransaction();
        // assign them
        Plants = new DapperSet<Plant>(_connection, _transaction);
    }

    public void Commit() => _transaction?.Commit();
    public void Rollback() => _transaction?.Rollback();

    public void Dispose()
    {
        _transaction?.Dispose();
        _connection?.Dispose();
    }
}

3. Update program.cs

bld.Services.AddScoped<ApplicationDbContext>(provider => new ApplicationDbContext(connectionString));

4. usage

// insert
var insert = await dbContext.Tests.InsertAsync<string>(new TestLalala
{
    Description = "Test",
    IsAcive = true
});

// update
var update = await dbContext.Tests.UpdateAsync(new TestLalala
{
    Id = 5,
    Description = "Luksass",
    IsAcive = true
});
// Get byid
await dbContext.Tests.GetByIdAsync(5);
await dbContext.Tests.DeleteAsync(5);

// Linq like query
var specificTests = await dbContext.Tests.WhereAsync(x =>x.IsAcive );

// GetAll
DbContext.Tests.GetAllAsync
