DatabaseUtilities

A lightweight base DbContext implementation for SQLite that takes care of database creation, auto-recreation on model changes, and sensible defaults (including PRAGMA settings) out of the box.

Features

  • Automatic database creation
    Ensures the SQLite file is created on first use.
  • Optional auto-recreate on model drift
    Detects pending EF Core migrations and will drop & recreate the database so your schema always matches your C# model.

Prerequisites


Installation

From your project folder, install the DatabaseUtilities package:

dotnet add package DatabaseUtilities

Usage

  1. Create your derived context Derive from DbBase, passing your databa name (without extension):

    using DatabaseUtilities;
    
    public class Database : DbBase("MyAppData")
    {
        public DbSet<Product> Products { get; set; } = default!;
    }
    
  2. Use in code

    var database = new Database();
    
    if (database.IsNewlyCreated())
    {
      // perform first-time setup
    }
    
    var products = database.Products.ToArray();
    

API

  • DbBase(string name)

    • name – Base filename for your SQLite file (stored as {name}.sqlite)
  • bool IsNewlyCreated() Returns true if the database was created (or re-created) during this context’s construction.
