ParadeDB.EntityFrameworkCore

Entity Framework Core extension for ParadeDB pg_search

Build License

ParadeDB.EntityFrameworkCore adds support for ParadeDB's pg_search extension to Npgsql.EntityFrameworkCore.PostgreSQL, exposing ParadeDB search functions through the EF.Functions API for LINQ-based full-text search queries. BM25 index creation must be defined using raw SQL. See the EF Core documentation for details on adding raw SQL to migrations.

Requirements & Compatibility

Component Supported
.NET 8+
EF Core 8+
ParadeDB 0.22.0+
PostgreSQL 15+ (with ParadeDB extension)

Configuration

Install the Npgsql.EntityFrameworkCore.PostgreSQL NuGet package and configure your DbContext by calling UseParadeDb() on the NpgsqlDbContextOptionsBuilder to enable pg_search function mappings.

var builder = WebApplication.CreateBuilder(args);

builder.Services.AddDbContextPool<AppDbContext>(opt =>
{
    opt.UseNpgsql(
        builder.Configuration.GetConnectionString("AppDatabase"),
        o => o.UseParadeDb()
    );
});

Function Mappings

The following ParadeDB operations are available through the EF.Functions API:

ParadeDB Operation LINQ Methods
Match MatchAny(), MatchAll()
Phrase Phrase()
Term Term()
Highlighting Snippet(), Snippets()
Proximity Proximity()
BM25 scoring Score()
Tokenizers TokenizeAsArray()

Usage Example

var products = await dbContext
    .Products.Where(p =>
        EF.Functions.MatchAny(
            p.Description,
            "with shoes and",
            Pdb.Fuzzy(1),
            Pdb.Boost(2.3f)
        )
    )
    .Select(p => new
    {
        p.Id,
        p.Description,
        Score = EF.Functions.Score(p.Id),
    })
    .ToListAsync();

Translates to

SELECT p.id AS "Id", p.description AS "Description", pdb.score(p.id) AS "Score"
FROM products AS p
WHERE p.description ||| 'with shoes and'::pdb.fuzzy(1)::pdb.boost(2.3)
