Simplify.FluentNHibernate 3.2.1

Simplify.FluentNHibernate Documentation

Provides:

• FluentConfiguration class extensions which allows you to easily configure your data-base connection.
• NHibernate ISession extensions which allows you to write queries with lambda expressions.
• SchemaExporter, SchemaUpdater

Available at NuGet as binary package

Quick Start Example

Configuration through Microsoft.Extensions.Configuration

Session factory setup

namespace MyApp.Database
{
        public class MyDbSessionFactoryBuilder
        {
                private readonly ISessionFactory _instance;

                public ISessionFactory Instance
                {
                        get { return _instance; }
                }

                public MyDbSessionFactoryBuilder(IConfiguration cfg, string configSectionName = "MyDatabaseConnectionSettings")
                {
                        var configuration = Fluently.Configure();
                        configuration.InitializeFromConfigMsSql(cfg, configSectionName);
                        configuration.AddMappingsFromAssemblyOf<MyDbSessionFactoryBuilder>();
                        _instance = configuration.BuildSessionFactory();
                }
        }
}

IConfiguration settings example based on appsettings.json

{
    "MyDatabaseConnectionSettings":
    {
        "ServerName": "Server name",
        "DataBaseName": "data-base name",
        "UserName": "user name",
        "UserPassword": "password",
    }
}

Configuration through *.config files

Session factory setup

namespace MyApp.Database
{
        public class MyDbSessionFactoryBuilder
        {
                private readonly ISessionFactory _instance;

                public ISessionFactory Instance
                {
                        get { return _instance; }
                }

                public MyDbSessionFactoryBuilder(string configSectionName = "MyDatabaseConnectionSettings")
                {
                        var configuration = Fluently.Configure();
                        configuration.InitializeFromConfigMsSql(configSectionName);
                        configuration.AddMappingsFromAssemblyOf<MyDbSessionFactoryBuilder>();
                        _instance = configuration.BuildSessionFactory();
                }
        }
}

Configuration file

<?xml version="1.0" encoding="utf-8"?>
<configuration>
        <configSections>
                <section name="MyDatabaseConnectionSettings" type="System.Configuration.NameValueSectionHandler, System, Version=1.0.5000.0,Culture=neutral, PublicKeyToken=b77a5c561934e089" />
        </configSections>

        <MyDatabaseConnectionSettings>
                <add key="ServerName" value="Server name" />
                <add key="DataBaseName" value="data-base name" />

                <add key="UserName" value="user name" />
                <add key="UserPassword" value="password" />
        </MyDatabaseConnectionSettings>
</configuration>

FluentNHibernate quick setup variants

Additional configuration options

Custom NHibernate configuration

Can be specified via lambda extension, for example, a custom dialect

configuration.InitializeFromConfigMsSql(configSectionName, c => c.Dialect<MsSql2012Dialect>());

Session lambda extensions for data retrieval

Example

var user = session.GetSingleObject(x => x.Name == "FooName");
var users = session.GetList(x => x.Name.StartWith("A"));
