Sparc.Blossom.Data.Cosmos 7.1.0-pre.2

Sparc.Database.Cosmos

The Sparc.Database.Cosmos plugin is primarily an implementation of IRepository<T> that uses Azure Cosmos DB via Entity Framework for all of its persistence operations.

Add this plugin to your Features Project if you'd like to use Azure Cosmos DB as your app's database provider.

Get Started with Sparc.Database.Cosmos

In Your Features Project:

1. Add the Sparc.Database.Cosmos Nuget package:

2. Add the following settings to your appsettings.json file:

    {
     "ConnectionStrings": {
       "CosmosDb": "[your Cosmos DB Connection String]"
      }
    }
   

3. Create an Entity Framework DbContext class, configuring all root entities as necessary. Example:

    public class MyAppContext : DbContext
   {
     public MyAppContext(DbContextOptions options) : base(options)
     { }
   
      protected override void OnModelCreating(ModelBuilder builder)
      {
        builder.Entity<User>().HasPartitionKey(x => x.UserId);
      }
    }
   

4. Add the following line of code to your Startup.cs file in your Features Project to register the Sparc.Database.Cosmos plugin. Pass in the DbContext class type you created, the connection string from your appsettings.json file, and the name of your database.

   services.AddCosmos<MyAppContext>(Configuration.GetConnectionString("CosmosDb"), "[your Database Name]");
   

5. Inject IRepository<T> into any feature that needs to load from or save data to the database. All typically necessary database operations exist within this interface. The Cosmos DB Repository you configured will automatically be used.
