Investigate Integration with EF Core (Entity Framework Core) #7
Description
Investigation: EF Core Integration
Research and document possibilities and challenges for integrating Vivarni.CBE with applications that use Entity Framework Core (EF Core) as their ORM. Many potential consumers use EF Core in their projects, so providing guidance or support for an EF Core integration will broaden adoption and make it easier for teams to use Vivarni.CBE in modern .NET contexts.
Considerations:
- Investigate technical and architectural compatibility between Vivarni.CBE and EF Core.
- Identify extension points or APIs that could allow Vivarni.CBE to fit alongside or be used within EF Core pipelines.
- Explore common scenarios (e.g., using Vivarni.CBE repositories as custom data sources for EF queries, or exposing Vivarni.CBE models to EF consumers).
- Document potential limitations, incompatibilities, or major concerns (such as transaction management, change tracking, etc.).
- If integration is feasible, outline best practices or steps to enable support.
Motivation:
- A significant portion of .NET developers use EF Core as a standard ORM. Support or guidance for EF integration could make Vivarni.CBE more attractive and accessible.
Please add your findings and recommended next steps to this issue.
