Dapper Extensions is a small library that complements Dapper by adding basic CRUD operations (Get, Insert, Update, Delete) for your POCOs. For more advanced querying scenarios, Dapper Extensions provides a predicate system. The goal of this library is to keep your POCOs pure by not requiring any attributes or base class inheritance.

Customized mappings are achieved through ClassMapper.

Important: This library is a separate effort from Dapper.Contrib (a sub-system of the Dapper project). Important: Check our projects list to see the plans for the next releases.

• Zero configuration out of the box.
• Automatic mapping of POCOs for Get, Insert, Update, and Delete operations.
• GetList, Count methods for more advanced scenarios.
• GetPage for returning paged result sets.
• Automatic support for Guid and Integer primary keys (Includes manual support for other key types).
• Pure POCOs through use of ClassMapper (Attribute Free!).
• Customized entity-table mapping through the use of ClassMapper.
• Composite Primary Key support.
• Singular and Pluralized table name support (Singular by default).
• Easy-to-use Predicate System for more advanced scenarios.
• Properly escapes table/column names in generated SQL (Ex: SELECT [FirstName] FROM [Users] WHERE [Users].[UserId] = @UserId_0)
• Unit test coverage (150+ Unit Tests)

• POCO names should match the table name in the database. Pluralized table names are supported through the PlurizedAutoClassMapper.
• POCO property names should match each column name in the table.
• By convention, the primary key should be named Id. Using another name is supported through custom mappings.

The following examples will use a Person POCO defined as:

publicclassPerson{publicintId{get;set;}publicstringFirstName{get;set;}publicstringLastName{get;set;}publicboolActive{get;set;}publicDateTimeDateCreated{get;set;}}

using(SqlConnectioncn=newSqlConnection(_connectionString)){cn.Open();intpersonId=1;Personperson=cn.Get<Person>(personId);cn.Close();}

using(SqlConnectioncn=newSqlConnection(_connectionString)){cn.Open();Personperson=newPerson{FirstName="Foo",LastName="Bar"};intid=cn.Insert(person);cn.Close();}

publicclassCar{publicintModelId{get;set;}publicintYear{get;set;}publicstringColor{get;set;}} ...using(SqlConnectioncn=newSqlConnection(_connectionString)){cn.Open();Carcar=newCar{Color="Red"};varmultiKey=cn.Insert(car);cn.Close();intmodelId=multiKey.ModelId;intyear=multiKey.Year;}

using(SqlConnectioncn=newSqlConnection(_connectionString)){cn.Open();intpersonId=1;Personperson=cn.Get<Person>(personId);person.LastName="Baz";cn.Update(person);cn.Close();}

using(SqlConnectioncn=newSqlConnection(_connectionString)){cn.Open();Personperson=cn.Get<Person>(1);cn.Delete(person);cn.Close();}

using(SqlConnectioncn=newSqlConnection(_connectionString)){cn.Open();varpredicate=Predicates.Field<Person>(f =>f.Active,Operator.Eq,true);IEnumerable<Person>list=cn.GetList<Person>(predicate);cn.Close();}

Generated SQL

SELECT [Person].[Id] , [Person].[FirstName] , [Person].[LastName] , [Person].[Active] , [Person].[DateCreated] FROM [Person] WHERE ([Person].[Active] = @Active_0) 

More information on predicates can be found in our wiki.

using(SqlConnectioncn=newSqlConnection(_connectionString)){cn.Open();varpredicate=Predicates.Field<Person>(f =>f.DateCreated,Operator.Lt,DateTime.UtcNow.AddDays(-5));intcount=cn.Count<Person>(predicate);cn.Close();}

Generated SQL

SELECT COUNT(*) Total FROM [Person] WHERE ([Person].[DateCreated] < @DateCreated_0)
