Tavenem.DataStore is a persistence-agnostic repository library. Its intended purpose is to help author libraries which need to interact with a project's data layer, while remaining fully decoupled from persistence choices.
For example: you might want to author a library which can retrieve an object from the data store by ID, modify it, then update the item in the data store. You want your library to be useful to people who use EntityFramework to access a SQL database, people who use Marten to access a PostgreSQL database, or people who work with Azure Cosmos DB.
One possible solution might be to work with generic interfaces like IQueryable, and provide event hooks so that implementers of your library are responsible for data retrieval and storage.
Tavenem.DataStore provides another possible way to handle this scenario. It provides a simple interface which encapsulates common data operations. As the author of a library, you can accept this interface and use it for all data operations. As a consumer of a library which uses Tavenem.DataStore.Marten, you can provide an implementation of this interface designed to work with the particular ORM or data storage SDK you are using in your project.
Tavenem.DataStore.Marten provides an implementation of the IDataStore library for Marten. Include it when your code depends on a library that uses Tavenem.DataStore, and your data storage layer uses Marten. A MartenDataStore object can be instantiated and provided wherever the library requires an implementation of IDataStore.
Tavenem.DataStore.Marten is available as a NuGet package.
Tavenem.DataStore.Marten is currently in a prerelease state. Development is ongoing, and breaking changes are possible before the first production release.
No release date is currently set for v1.0 of Tavenem.DataStore.Marten. The project is currently in a "wait and see" phase while its utility, completeness, and correctness are evaluated. When the project is judged to be in a satisfactory state, and further breaking changes to the interface are determined to be unlikely, a production release will be made.
