The main purpose of this project is, to provide bulk insert/update/delete support; and expose EF metadata in a easily accessible manner.
I searched a lot for a free, easy to use EF extensions library for use in one of the projects, I couldn't find any! So, After doing it, I'm happy to share it for others to use it as well.
Initially, the project only supports bulk inserts/update/delete to SQL server, utilizing SQLBulkCopy; along with other useful atomic operations.
The plan is, to keep updating it with other vendors support (Oracle, MySql, etc...) if it gets enough demand/contribution from the community.
Using the library is as easy as adding a using statement for EntityExtensions; then using the extension methods from your DbContext.
Examples: Bulk insert/updates/deletes
var insertsAndupdates = new List<object>();
var deletes = new List<object>();
context.BulkUpdate(insertsAndupdates, deletes);Direct delete by property
context.DirectDeleteByProperty<Object>("PropertyName", "PropertyValue");Update or insert in one go
context.InsertOrUpdate(new object());Get a map of DB column name and object property info
context.GetTableColumns<object>();The list goes on, And hopefully, it will get bigger over time.
