Entity Framework graph merge extension method

Entity Framework Extensions

What's GraphDiff?

GraphDiff is a DbContext extension methods for Entity Framework Code First, that allow you to save an entire detached Model/Entity, with child Entities and Lists, to the database without writing the code to do it.

This version is for EF6+. If you would like to use the project on EF(4.3,5.0) see this branch https://github.com/refactorthis/GraphDiff/tree/EF4-5.

Please see the initial post @ https://refactorthis.wordpress.com/2012/12/11/introducing-graphdiff-for-entity-framework-code-first-allowing-automated-updates-of-a-graph-of-detached-entities/ for more information.

Features

  • Merge an entire graph of detached entities to the database using DbContext.UpdateGraph();
  • Ensures concurrency is maintained for all child entities in the graph
  • Allows for different configuration mappings to ensure that only changes within the defined graph are persisted
  • Comprehensive testing suite to cover many (un/)common scenarios.

Proposed Features

  • Fluent API style mapping of aggregates on bootstrapping
  • Retrieve an aggregate from the database without specifying include expressions
  • Define the aggregate using attributes on the models
  • Allow for the initial db query to be performed as multiple queries where needed (too many includes, etc)

Release Notes

2.0.1

  • Rewrite of graph traversal code and rewrite of tests to cover more scenarios.
  • multiple bug fixes

Why should I contribute to this free & open source library?

We all love free and open source libraries! But there is a catch! Nothing is free in this world. Contributions allow us to spend more of our time on: Bug Fix, Content Writing, Development and Support.

We NEED your help. Last year alone, we spent over 3000 hours maintaining all our open source libraries.

How much should I contribute?

Any amount is much appreciated. All our libraries together have more than 100 million downloads, if everyone could contribute a tiny amount, it would help us to make the .NET community a better place to code!

Another great free way to contribute is spreading the word about the library!

A HUGE THANKS for your help.
