Ghanavats.Repository

A Versatile Repository Framework for EF Core and Beyond

Overview

Ghanavats.Repository is a complete repository framework designed to streamline and standardise data access layers in modern applications. Built on best practices and principles of abstraction, it provides a flexible and extensible solution for developers to implement repositories tailored to their needs.

This solution includes

Ghanavats.Repository.Abstractions

A package offering repository interfaces and abstractions to define consistent data access contracts, suitable for any implementation.

Ghanavats.Repository

A concrete implementation of the abstractions using Entity Framework Core, offering ready-to-use, production-quality repositories. With its modular design, Ghanavats.Repository empowers developers to use its components individually or together, depending on their project requirements.

Features

• Abstractions for Flexibility: Define data access contracts with the Ghanavats.Repository.Abstractions package, providing a clear separation of concerns and enabling custom implementations.
• Entity Framework Core Integration: Leverage a robust, pre-built repository layer with Ghanavats.Repository, optimised for EF Core.
• Customizability: Build your own repository implementations while adhering to a consistent interface.
• Future-Ready: The solution is designed to evolve, with plans to add MongoDB support and extend beyond relational databases.

Getting Started

   Add the desired NuGet packages to your project:

   • For abstractions:

     dotnet add package Ghanavats.Repository.Abstractions
     

   • For EF Core implementation:

     dotnet add package Ghanavats.Repository
     

2. Choose Your Approach:

   • Use Ghanavats.Repository for EF Core-based projects.
   • Implement your custom repository logic by referencing Ghanavats.Repository.Abstractions.

3. Define Your Domain: Use the provided interfaces to set up repositories for your domain entities, ensuring a clean, maintainable architecture.
