CQS, IQuery & ICommand
Under the covers Cofoundry uses a lightweight CQS framework to structure data access. You can structure your data access any way you want, but this framework is there for you to use if you want to benefit from:
- A best-practice and structured methodology
- Integrated validation
- Integrated permission handling
- Integrated logging
IDomainRepository
IDomainRepository is the base repository that IContentRepository and IAdvancedContentRpository inherit from. It provides easy access to components such as generic command and query execution, permission escalation and transaction management.
Transactions
Cofoundry has a transaction manager abstraction that provides a few benefits over System.Transactions.
Entity Framework
Cofoundry uses Entity Framework Core for data access and includes a few tools you may wish to use if you are also using EF Core for your own data.
Database Migrations
Cofoundry does not use EF Database Migrations and instead we use our own framework for managing database updates via SQL scripts. This framework is also available to you as well as plugin developers.
