CHANGELOG.md - Buzruk.GenericRepository

Embrace the Future of Data Access (v1.0.0 - Initial Release)

This changelog chronicles the groundbreaking advancements in Buzruk.GenericRepository, the game-changing generic repository for .NET applications. Buckle up, developers, because v1.0.0 is here to revolutionize your data access experience!

Introducing an Asynchronous Powerhouse:

  • Asynchronous-First Philosophy: Ditch the wait! Core functionalities prioritize asynchronous methods for blazing-fast, non-blocking data retrieval and manipulation. Synchronous options remain available for compatibility. ⚡️
  • Effortless Bulk Operations (Async): Supercharge performance with asynchronous AddRangeAsync and UpdateRangeAsync methods, allowing you to add or update multiple entities with unparalleled efficiency.

Streamlined Data Management:

  • Intuitive CRUD Operations: A comprehensive suite of methods like GetAsync, GetPagedAsync, AddAsync, AddRangeAsync, UpdateAsync, and more simplifies CRUD (Create, Read, Update, Delete) operations for a smoother workflow.
  • Flexible Retrieval: Uncover specific entities by ID or filter them based on your criteria using the versatile GetAsync. Pinpoint the exact data you need, when you need it.
  • Paged Data Fetching (Async): Conquer large datasets with GetPagedAsync. Asynchronously retrieve data in manageable chunks, ideal for pagination and optimal performance.
  • Existence Checks (Async): Make informed decisions with the lightning-fast ExistsAsync method, which swiftly confirms entity existence. Eliminate unnecessary database calls. ⚡

Deep Data Insights:

  • Efficient Counting: Gain a clear picture of your data with CountAsync for total entity counts or leverage LongCountAsync for accurate counts, even with massive datasets.
  • Targeted Counting (Async): Delve deeper with CountByAsync. Asynchronously count entities based on specific conditions, empowering you with granular insights into your data distribution.

Seamless Integration & Optimization:

  • Effortless Entity Framework Core Integration: Designed for flawless collaboration with Entity Framework Core, allowing you to leverage its full potential.
  • Eager Loading (Optional): Boost performance by pre-fetching related entities when retrieving primary data (including an asynchronous EagerLoadAsync option), minimizing subsequent database calls. ️

This is Just the Beginning:

  • Community-Driven Expansion: We welcome contributions to broaden support for additional data access providers beyond Entity Framework Core! Let's make this a universally applicable solution!
  • Unwavering Testing Excellence: Our relentless pursuit of unit testing coverage ensures unmatched reliability. You can trust your data access layer with confidence!
  • Empowering Documentation (Coming Soon): Expect even more detailed examples, tutorials, and guides to transform you into a data access master!

This is the dawn of a new era for data access in .NET. Get ready to experience the power and efficiency of Buzruk.GenericRepository v1.0.0!
