How can I use the SharpRepository to create a local filesystem repository of my data

I am developing .net framework console code that does stuff with bits. I want to implement a repository to hold my entities after I am done generating them so that I do not have to generate the entities again. To start with, I would like the repository to write data file(s) to my local filesystem, and then if needed later on put a more robust (RMDBS) back end. I also want to be able to unit test/mock the repository as well of course.

I found the SharpRepository project on github, and would like to leverage it, instead of rolling my own implementation. The XMLRepository class looks like the one that I want to implement but I am not sure how, and the wiki does not include documentation on it.

How do you use the XmlRepository in the SharpRepository library?

Solution

  • I pushed a branch where you can find SharpRepository.Samples.CoreMvc ASP.NET Core running with XmlRepository.

    You can can find it here https://github.com/SharpRepository/SharpRepository/tree/sample/xml

    Last commit holds some configurations in order to get it working. https://github.com/SharpRepository/SharpRepository/commit/77c684de40fe432589c940ad042009bbd213f96c

    Keep me update in order to get XmlRepository released stable.

    BTW I use InMemoryRepository for testing. Xml serializations creates limitations in the properties of your model and its difficult to keep worging with a different DBRMS.
