TheStandardBox.Data 1.0.0

TheStandardBox

A .NET Library for essential code according to The Standard

How to use?

This library will allow to you to use easly a sort of standard Storage Broker, Foundation Servicer and Controller:

Add your models

Your models, that represents your database entities, should implement the interface IStandardEntity of the library:

    public interface IStandardEntity
    {
        Guid Id { get; set; }

        DateTimeOffset CreatedDate { get; set; }

        DateTimeOffset UpdatedDate { get; set; }
    }

For example an entity WeatherForecast looks like:

    public class WeatherForecast : IStandardEntity
    {
        public Guid Id { get; set; }

        public DateTime Date { get; set; }

        public int TemperatureC { get; set; }

        public int TemperatureF => 32 + (int)(TemperatureC / 0.5556);

        public string Summary { get; set; }

        public DateTimeOffset CreatedDate { get; set; }

        public DateTimeOffset UpdatedDate { get; set; }
    }

Standard Storage Broker

In order to define your DbSets ou need to create a new storage broker that inhirates from StandardStorageBroker:

    public class StorageBroker : StandardStorageBroker
    {
        public StorageBroker(IConfiguration configuration)
            : base(configuration)
        { }

        public DbSet<WeatherForecast> WeatherForecasts { get; set; } 
    }

Connection String

By default TheStandardBox reads the connection string from your configuration by the name DefaultConnection. You can define the name of your connection string:

    public class StorageBroker : StandardStorageBroker
    {
        public StorageBroker(IConfiguration configuration)
            : base(configuration)
        { }

        protected override string DefaultConnectionName => "NEW_CONNECTION_STRING_NAME";

        public DbSet<WeatherForecast> WeatherForecasts { get; set; } 
    }

Uses NoTracking Behavior

To use the NoTracking behavior or not, override the property UsesNoTrackingBehavior (By default true):

    protected override bool UsesNoTrackingBehavior => false;

Add TheStandard Box

Add the library as following in the Program.cs file of your API project:

    builder.Services.AddTheStandardBoxData<StorageBroker>();

Migrations

Dont forget to add a migration by running > Add-Migration [MIGRATION_NAME].

Foundation Service

For each entity add a standard foundation service as following:

     builder.Services.AddStandardFoundationService<WeatherForecast>();

Unit testing ?

It is very important to unit test your services, using TheStandardBox this is now very easy. You need only to create your test class as following:

    public class WeatherServiceTests : StandardServiceTests<WeatherForecast>
    { }
