Currently, I am using OrmLite for DB operations. I am also planning to use Dapper ORM, but can anyone point me how to integrate DapperORM in ServiceStack. Do I need to implement both IDbConnection and IDbConnectionFactory interfaces with Dapper and plugin into the container.
public override void Configure(Container container) {
container.Register<IDbConnectionFactory>(
c => new OrmLiteConnectionFactory(ConfigurationManager.ConnectionStrings["default"].ConnectionString,
SqlServerDialect.Provider));
container.Register<IDbConnection>(c => c.Resolve<IDbConnectionFactory>().OpenDbConnection()).ReusedWithin(ReuseScope.Request);
}
Dapper works like OrmLite in that they're both extension methods over the underlying ADO.NET System.Data.*
IDbConnection interface. This means you can use both of them together on the IDbConnection retrieved from OrmLite's IDbConnectionFactory.
OrmLite includes a recent version of Dapper in ServiceStack.OrmLite under the ServiceStack.OrmLite.Dapper
namespace.
In v3.9.40 of ServiceStack, this embedded version of Dapper had their APIs changed to include a 'Dapper' suffix to avoid clashing with OrmLite methods of the same name. You don't have to register a Request-Scoped IDbConnection as ServiceStack's default Service class already retrieves it from the IDbConnectionFactory for you.
Given that, here's how you can access Dapper ORM APIs inside a ServiceStack service:
public class MyService : Service
{
public object Any(Request request)
{
base.Db.QueryDapper(...);
base.Db.QueryMultipleDapper(...);
base.Db.MultiMapDapper(...);
base.Db.ExecuteDapper(...);
}
}
I don't know about others, but due to the information regarding Dapper within the Razor namespace this answer confused me quite a bit.
In case others have a similar experience, I've attempted to answer this same question in a basic way.
