EfCore.GenericServices

This library helps you quickly code Create, Read, Update and Delete (CRUD) accesses for a web/mobile/desktop application. It acts as a adapter and command pattern between a database accessed by Entity Framework Core (EF Core) and the needs of the front-end system.

Useful articles

This readme provides a good overview, but here are some articles that give you a detailed description of what the libraray does.

What the library does

This library takes advantage of the fact that each of the four CRUD database accesses differ in what they do, but they have a common set of data part they all use, which are:

  1. What database class/table do you want to access?
  2. What properties in that class/table do you want to access or change?

This library uses DTOs (data transfer objects, also known as ViewModels) plus a special interface to define the class/table and the properties to access. That allows the library to implement a generic solution for each of the four CRUD accesses, where the only thing that changes is the DTO you use.

Typical web applications have hundreds of CRUD pages - display this, edit that, delete the other - and each CRUD access has to adapt the data in the database to show the user, and then apply the changes to the database. So, you create one set of update code for your specific application and then cut/paste + change one line (the DTO name) for all the other versions.

I personally work with ASP.NET Core, so my examples are from that, but it will work with any NET Core type of application (I do know one person have used this libary with WPF).

- New Feature: GenericServices' UpdateAndSave method will look for IncludeThen Attribute on a DTO and add the specified Include/ThenIncludes before doing the update.
     - Update: Swapped to using GenericServices.StatusGeneric for status. This provides common status handling across my Generic libraries. WARNING: this may require you to install NuGet package GenericServices.StatusGeneric in the project that has the entity classes in.
