A package that mimics EF core actions with dapper. Used for the programmers that are not allowed to use EF core at their company
$ dotnet add package CustomDapperEntityActionsA .NET package that provides Entity Framework Core-like actions using Dapper, designed for developers whose companies restrict the use of EF Core.
CustomDapperEntityActions bridges the gap between Dapper's lightweight performance and Entity Framework Core's convenient entity management features. It offers familiar entity action patterns while maintaining Dapper's speed and flexibility.
Install via NuGet Package Manager: dotnet add package CustomDapperEntityActions --version 1.0.6

// insert
var insert = await dbContext.Tests.InsertAsync<string>(new TestLalala
{
Description = "Test",
IsAcive = true
});
// update
var update = await dbContext.Tests.UpdateAsync(new TestLalala
{
Id = 5,
Description = "Luksass",
IsAcive = true
});
// Get byid
await dbContext.Tests.GetByIdAsync(5);
await dbContext.Tests.DeleteAsync(5);
// Linq like query NEW version
var specificTests = await dbContext.Tests
.Where(x => x.TestCd == "Zoko")
.OrderBy(x => x.Description)
.ExecuteAsync();
// without where also possible
var specificTests = await dbContext.Tests
.OrderBy(x => x.Description)
.ExecuteAsync();
// only where also possible
var specificTests = await dbContext.Tests
.Where(x => x.TestCd == "Zoko")
// descending
var specificTests = await dbContext.Tests
.OrderBy(x => x.Description, descending: true)
.ExecuteAsync();
// Chaining statements
var specificTests = await dbContext.Tests
.Where( x => x.TestMode == "Offline")
.Where(x => x.IsActive )
.OrderBy(x => x.TestType)
.OrderBy( x => x.TestMode)
.ExecuteAsync();
// Linq like query OLD version
var specificTests = await dbContext.Tests.WhereAsync(x =>x.IsAcive );
// GetAll
DbContext.Tests.GetAllAsync
var specificTests = await dbContext.Tests
// Other linq queries
.Paginate(0,50) // paginate(pageIndex, pageSize), this gives records 0-50
.ExecuteAsync();If you want to log the queries, you need to put miminum log level to "Information" and use serilog.
Joins can be done with the include tag (only one to one mapping currently one to many is for future features )
var measurements = await dbContext.Measurements
.Include(x => x.Test)
.Include(x => x.Plant)
// then you can also filter only on the parent
.Where(x => x.Value > 100)
.OrderBy(x => x.MeasurementDate)
.Paginate(0, 2)
.ExecuteAsync();Classes need to be annotated like this with the NotMapped and ForeignKey tag
