Unit-of-Work & Repository Framework | Official URF, Trackable Entities & Design Factory Team
This framework (over 100K+ total downloads) minimizes the surface area of your ORM technology from disseminating in your application. This framework was deliberately designed to be lightweight, small in footprint size, and non-intimidating to extend and maintain. When we say lightweight we really mean lightweight, when using this framework with the Entity Framework provider there are only 10 classes. This lightweight framework will allow you to elegantly, unobtrusively, and easily patternize your applications and systems with Repository, Unit of Work, and Domain Driven Design. To use Generic Repositories or not? The framework allows the freedom of both, generic repositories and the ability to add in your own domain specific repository methods, in short Unit of Work with extensible and generic Repositories.

All methods that are exposed from Repository
in Service
are overridable to add any pre or post domain/business logic. Domain business logic should be in the Service layer and not in Controllers or Repositories for separation of concerns.
ICustomerService
, which should always inherit IService
e.g. IService
CustomerService
which implements ICustomerService
container.RegisterType()
, see next example for more details on wiring up DI & IoC.public interface ICustomerService : IService<Customer>

decimal CustomerOrderTotalByYear(string customerId, int year);
IEnumerable<Customer> CustomersByCompany(string companyName);
IEnumerable<CustomerOrder> GetCustomerOrder(string country);
}
public class CustomerService : Service<Customer>, ICustomerService
{
private readonly IRepositoryAsync<Customer> _repository;
public CustomerService(IRepositoryAsync<Customer> repository) : base(repository)
{
_repository = repository;
}
public decimal CustomerOrderTotalByYear(string customerId, int year)
{
// add any domain logic here
return _repository.GetCustomerOrderTotalByYear(customerId, year);
}
public IEnumerable<Customer> CustomersByCompany(string companyName)
{
// add any domain logic here

// add any domain logic here
