GenericRepository

A clean, flexible, and fully-featured generic repository implementation for Entity Framework Core.

This repository provides a powerful abstraction over DbSet<T> and supports async LINQ queries, entity tracking control, expression-based filtering, and batch operations all designed to help you write cleaner and more testable data access code.

Installation

dotnet add package TS.EntityFrameworkCore.GenericRepository

UnitOfWork Implementation

public class ApplicationDbContext : IUnitOfWork

Create Repository

public selead IUserRepository : IRepository<User>

public selead UserRepository : Repository<User, ApplicationDbContext>, IUserRepository

Use Examples

public selead UserService: IUserService

private readonly IUserRepository _userRepository;
private readonly IUnitOfWork _unitOfWork;

public UserService(IUserRepository userRepository, IUnitOfWork unitOfWork)
{
    _userRepository = userRepository;
    _unitOfWork = unitOfWork;
}

public async Task AddAsync(User user, CancellationToken cancellationToken)
{
    await _userRepository.AddAsync(user, cancellationToken);
    await _unitOfWork.SaveChangesAsync(cancellationToken);
}

public async Task<User?> GetByIdAsync(Guid id, CancellationToken cancellationToken)
{
    User? user = await _userRepository.FirstOrDefaultAsync(p=> p.Id == id, cancellationToken);
    return user;
}

public async Task<IList<User>> GetAllAsync(CancellationToken cancellationToken)
{
    IList<User> users = await _userRepository.GetAll().ToListAsync(cancellationToken);
    return users;
}

Execute server-side update (EF Core 7+)

await _repository.ExecuteUpdateAsync(set => set
    .SetProperty(p => p.UpdatedAt, _ => DateTime.UtcNow));

Dependency Injection

builder.Service.AddScoped<IUserRepository, UserRepository>();
builder.Services.AddScoped<IUnitOfWork>(srv => srv.GetRequiredService<ApplicationDbContext>());

Methods

This library have two services. IRepository, IUnitOfWork

public interface IRepository<TEntity>
    where TEntity : class
{
    IQueryable<TEntity> AsQueryable();
    IQueryable<TEntity> GetAll();
    IQueryable<TEntity> GetAllWithTracking();
    IQueryable<TEntity> Where(Expression<Func<TEntity, bool>> expression);
    IQueryable<TEntity> WhereWithTracking(Expression<Func<TEntity, bool>> expression);
    TEntity First(Expression<Func<TEntity, bool>> expression, bool isTrackingActive = true);
    TEntity FirstOrDefault(Expression<Func<TEntity, bool>> expression, bool isTrackingActive = true);
    Task<TEntity> FirstOrDefaultAsync(Expression<Func<TEntity, bool>> expression, CancellationToken cancellationToken = default, bool isTrackingActive = true);
    Task<TEntity> FirstAsync(Expression<Func<TEntity, bool>> expression, CancellationToken cancellationToken = default, bool isTrackingActive = true);
    Task<TEntity> GetByExpressionAsync(Expression<Func<TEntity, bool>> expression, CancellationToken cancellationToken = default);
    Task<TEntity> GetByExpressionWithTrackingAsync(Expression<Func<TEntity, bool>> expression, CancellationToken cancellationToken = default);
    Task<TEntity> GetFirstAsync(CancellationToken cancellationToken = default);
    Task<bool> AnyAsync(Expression<Func<TEntity, bool>> expression, CancellationToken cancellationToken = default);
    bool Any(Expression<Func<TEntity, bool>> expression);
    TEntity GetByExpression(Expression<Func<TEntity, bool>> expression);
    TEntity GetByExpressionWithTracking(Expression<Func<TEntity, bool>> expression);
    TEntity GetFirst();
    Task AddAsync(TEntity entity, CancellationToken cancellationToken = default);
    void Add(TEntity entity);
    Task AddRangeAsync(ICollection<TEntity> entities, CancellationToken cancellationToken = default);
    void AddRange(ICollection<TEntity> entities);
    void Update(TEntity entity);
    void UpdateRange(ICollection<TEntity> entities);
    Task DeleteByIdAsync(string id);
    Task DeleteByExpressionAsync(Expression<Func<TEntity, bool>> expression, CancellationToken cancellationToken = default);
    void Delete(TEntity entity);
    void DeleteRange(ICollection<TEntity> entities);
    IQueryable<KeyValuePair<bool, int>> CountBy(Expression<Func<TEntity, bool>> expression, CancellationToken cancellationToken = default);
    int Count();
    int Count(Expression<Func<TEntity, bool>> expression);
    Task<int> CountAsync(CancellationToken cancellationToken = default);
    Task<int> CountAsync(Expression<Func<TEntity, bool>> expression, CancellationToken cancellationToken = default);
    int ExecuteUpdate(Action<UpdateSettersBuilder<TEntity>> setPropertyCalls);
    Task<int> ExecuteUpdateAsync(Action<UpdateSettersBuilder<TEntity>> setPropertyCalls, CancellationToken cancellationToken = default);
    int ExecuteDelete();
    Task<int> ExecuteDeleteAsync(CancellationToken cancellationToken = default);
