Supposing that there are two repository interface :
interface IFooRepository
{
void Delete(int id);
}
interface IBarRepository
{
void Delete(int id);
}
And an IUnitOfWork interface like :
interface IUnitOfWork : IDisposable
{
void Commit();
void Rollback();
}
what is the best practices of implementing those interface using ServiceStack.ORMLite so that user can use them like
MyFooRepository.Delete(4);
// if an Exception throws here, Bar won't be deleted
MyBarRepository.Delete(7);
Or
using (var uow = CreateUnitOfWork())
{
MyFooRepository.Delete(4);
MyBarRepository.Delete(7);
uow.Commit(); //now they are in an transaction
}
Not sure of your need for Repository + UnitOfWork patterns but I think there are some alternative solutions in ServiceStack + OrmLite that keep your code 'DRY' before you need to introduce any patterns (especially if you're mainly seeking Transaction/Rollback support). Something like below is where I would start.
public class Foo //POCO for data access
{
//Add Attributes for Ormlite
public int Id { get; set; }
}
public class Bar //POCO for data access
{
//Add Attributes for Ormlite
public int Id { get; set; }
}
//your request class which is passed to your service
public class DeleteById
{
public int Id { get; set; }
}
public class FooBarService : MyServiceBase //MyServiceBase has resusable method for handling transactions.
{
public object Post(DeleteById request)
{
DbExec(dbConn =>
{
dbConn.DeleteById<Foo>(request.Id);
dbConn.DeleteById<Bar>(request.Id);
});
return null;
}
}
public class MyServiceBase : Service
{
public IDbConnectionFactory DbFactory { get; set; }
protected void DbExec(Action<IDbConnection> actions)
{
using (var dbConn = DbFactory.OpenDbConnection())
{
using (var trans = dbConn.OpenTransaction())
{
try
{
actions(dbConn);
trans.Commit();
}
catch (Exception ex)
{
trans.Rollback();
throw ex;
}
}
}
}
}
