Base classes and interfaces for setting up simple repositories.

Bundles

What the hell is a bundle?

A bundle is basically just a bundle of entities which is typically stored in a serializable file that you can query and/or save to.

It's useful if you need to store data but don't necessarily require a database or if you're just prototyping a quick and dirty idea.

For your information, I use ReadOnlyBundleRepository and BundleRepository to store Rough Trigger's game data such as spritesheet maps (holds sprite positions and sizes,) tilesets or items.

Does it have to be a serialized file?

No. It can be just about anything, really. One of the only contraint for bundles is that entities must have an Id property. This id is automatically incremented whenever a new entity is added to the bundle using ToolBX.Unicity.

Getting started

Check out the unit test project for samples on how to use it.

StartingId

By default, the starting ID for a bundle is 0. If you want to change that, you can do so by overriding the StartingId property in your bundle repository.

public class MyBundleRepository : BundleRepository<MyEntity>
{
	protected override int StartingId => 1;
}
