Transformations.EntityFramework

A practical, problem-first .NET library for resilient EF Core workflows.

NuGet

📖 Overview

Transformations.EntityFramework equips standard DbContext instances with enterprise-grade resilience wrappers and built-in audit extraction utilities. Save transactions safely across volatile cloud connections, extract modified properties for history tables, and export datasets natively.

🚀 Why Transformations.EntityFramework?

Entity Framework Core is powerful, but extracting audit trails (added/modified/deleted entities) usually requires heavy custom overrides of SaveChanges. Furthermore, transient connectivity drops require specific strategy implementations. These helpers inject ready-to-use solutions into any standard EF context.

💡 Key Features & Examples

1. Resilient DB Commits

Automatically wrap your SaveChanges logic to handle database timeouts and concurrency conflicts seamlessly.

// Will attempt the transaction up to 4 times with an exponential backoff curve
int rowsAffected = await dbContext.SaveChangesWithRetryAsync(
    retryCount: 4, 
    initialDelay: TimeSpan.FromMilliseconds(250)
);

2. ChangeTracker Audit Interception

If you need to construct a robust history log prior to saving, simply ask the extension method for the exact data deltas.

// Pulls all modified entities of a specific type (or any type) matching the EF Modified state
var modifiedUsers = dbContext.GetModifiedEntities<User>();

foreach (var audit in modifiedUsers)
{
    Console.WriteLine($"User {audit.Id} was updated.");
    // Evaluate original vs current values from EF's Property entries
}

3. Native IQueryable to CSV

Export server-side tables directly to CSV formats without manually iterating loops.

// Streams data into a cleanly formatted CSV string buffer
string csvPayload = await dbContext.Users
    .Where(u => u.IsActive)
    .ToCsvStringAsync();

🛠 Advanced Usage

The resilience wrappers can be paired with custom CancellationToken injections, allowing long-running retries to gracefully terminate if the parent HTTP request is cancelled.
