CardboardBox.Database

A wrapper around Dapper and various ADO.Net providers to connect to different SQL Engines with built in basic query generation.

Installation

You will probably want to install one of the ADO.net provider specific packages:

Install Postgres via Nuget:

PM> Install-Package CardboardBox.Database.Postgres

Install SQLite via Nuget:

PM> Install-Package CardboardBox.Database.SQLite

Install MSSQL / SQL Server via Nuget: (Coming soon)

PM> Install-Package CardboardBox.Database.MSSQL

Setup

This package is designed to work with Microsoft.Extensions.DependencyInjection:

using CardboardBox.Database;
using Microsoft.Extensions.DependencyInjection;

var services = new ServiceCollection();

services.AddSqlService(c => 
{
	//Configure the SQL engines you want to use
	c.AddPostgres("<connection string>");

	c.AddSqlite("<connection string>");
});

Querying

To use the database engine, you can inject the ISqlService interface into any of your services:

public class SomeService 
{
	private readonly ISqlService _sql;

	public SomeService(ISqlService sql) { _sql = sql; }

	public Task<User> Fetch(long id) => _sql.Fetch<User>("SELECT * FROM users WHERE id = @id", new { id });

	public Task<User[]> Get() => _sql.Get<User>("SELECT * FROM users");

	public async Task DoSomethingComplex()
	{
		using var con = await _sql.CreateConnection();
		//Do something with the active connection
	}
}

Query Generation

Query Generation is centered around the IQueryService that generates queries based on your POCOs. Said generation uses property names, Dapper Fluent, and optional attributes to generate SQL queries.

Basic Usage - Attributes

There are 2 primary attributes within the generation scheme: TableAttribute and ColumnAttribute. You can use them like so:

[Table("Users")]
public class User 
{
	[Column(PrimaryKey = true, ExcludeInserts = true, ExcludeUpdates = true)]
	public int Id { get; set; }

	[Column(Unique = true)]
	public string UserName { get; set; } = string.Empty;

	public string FirstName { get; set; } = string.Empty;

	public string LastName { get; set; } = string.Empty;
}

This will create the following queries when used against the IQueryService:

--IQueryService.Select<User>(t => t.With(a => a.FirstName));
SELECT * FROM [Users] WHERE [FirstName] = @FirstName;

--IQueryService.Fetch<User>();
SELECT * FROM [Users] WHERE [Id] = @Id;

--IQueryService.Insert<User>();
INSERT INTO [Users] ([UserName], [FirstName], [LastName]) VALUES (@UserName, @FirstName, @LastName);

Basic Usage - Changing Column Case Convention

You can also change the case convention during configuration and it will automatically change the case of the column names:

services.AddSqlService(c => 
{
	//Configure the SQL engines you want to use
	c.AddPostgres("<connection string>")
	 //This tells the query generation system to use camel_case names
	 .ConfigureGeneration(c => c.WithCamelCaseChange())
	 //This tells Dapper Fluent to use camel_case for resolving property names for the `User` class
	 .ConfigureTypes(c => 
		c.CamelCase()
		 .Entity<User>());
});

This will create the following queries when used against the IQueryService:

--IQueryService.Select<User>(t => t.With(a => a.FirstName));
SELECT * FROM "users" WHERE "first_name" = :FirstName;

--IQueryService.Fetch<User>();
SELECT * FROM "users" WHERE "id" = :Id;

--IQueryService.Insert<User>();
INSERT INTO "users" ("user_name", "first_name", "last_name") VALUES (:UserName, :FirstName, :LastName);
