DbContext extension with LoadStoredProc method which creates an IStoredProcBuilder to build a stored procedure with a custom mapping strategy using the provided DbDataReader extension.
The method handles :
- Extra column in result set
- Extra property in model
- Null values in result set
- Underscores in result set column names ("column_name" is mapped to ColumnName property)
- Int (db) to enumeration (result model) mapping
List<Model> rows = null;
ctx.LoadStoredProc("dbo.ListAll")
.AddParam("limit", 300L)
.AddParam("limitOut", out IOutParam<long> limitOut)
.Exec(r => rows = r.ToList<Model>());
long limitOutValue = limitOut.Value;
ctx.LoadStoredProc("dbo.ReturnBoolean")
.AddParam("boolean_to_return", true)
.ReturnValue(out IOutParam<bool> retParam)
.ExecNonQuery();
bool b = retParam.Value;
ctx.LoadStoredProc("dbo.ListAll")
.AddParam("limit", 1L)
.ExecScalar(out long l);
IStoredProcBuilder LoadStoredProc(string name)
IStoredProcBuilder AddParam<T>(string name, T val) // Input parameter
IStoredProcBuilder AddParam<T>(string name, T val, out IOutParam<T> outParam, int size, byte precision, byte scale) // Input/Ouput parameter
IStoredProcBuilder AddParam<T>(string name, out IOutParam<T> outParam, int size, byte precision, byte scale) // Ouput parameter
IStoredProcBuilder ReturnValue<T>(out IOutParam<T> retParam, int size, byte precision, byte scale)
IStoredProcBuilder SetTimeout(int timeout)
Task ExecAsync(Func<DbDataReader, Task> action, CancellationToken cancellationToken)
Task ExecNonQueryAsync(CancellationToken cancellationToken)
Task ExecScalarAsync<T>(Action<T> action, CancellationToken cancellationToken)
Task<List<T>> ToListAsync<T>()
Task<Dictionary<TKey, TValue>> ToDictionaryAsync<TKey, TValue>(Func<TValue, TKey> keyProjection)
Task<Dictionary<TKey, List<TValue>>> ToLookupAsync<TKey, TValue>(Func<TValue, TKey> keyProjection)
Task<HashSet<T>> ToSetAsync<T>()
Task<List<T>> ColumnAsync<T>()
Task<List<T>> ColumnAsync<T>(string columnName)
Task<T> FirstAsync<T>()
Task<T> FirstOrDefaultAsync<T>()
Task<T> SingleAsync<T>()
Task<T> SingleOrDefaultAsync<T>()
All these methods have a corresponding async method : ToListAsync, ToDictionaryAsync, ...
Install-Package StoredProcedureEFCore
Stored procedure execution was not supported in entity framework core:
- Raw store access APIs: Support for ad hoc mapping of arbitrary types #1862
- Stored procedure mapping support #245
It is now supported since EF Core 2.1 but this library has few advantages compared to FromSql:
- Extra property in the model won't throw an exception. The property keeps its default value
- The interface is easier to use. Output parameters and return values seem difficult to use with EFCore
- Mapping is 30% faster
