A quick example for storing and searching documents:
// Create your POCO class
public class Customer
{
public int Id { get; set; }
public string Name { get; set; }
public int Age { get; set; }
public string[] Phones { get; set; }
public bool IsActive { get; set; }
}
// Open database (or create if doesn't exist)
using(var db = new LiteDatabase(@"MyData.db"))
{
// Get customer collection
var col = db.GetCollection<Customer>("customers");
// Create your new customer instance
var customer = new Customer
{
Name = "John Doe",
Phones = new string[] { "8000-0000", "9000-0000" },
Age = 39,
IsActive = true
};
// Create unique index in Name field
col.EnsureIndex(x => x.Name, true);
// Insert new customer document (Id will be auto-incremented)
col.Insert(customer);
// Update a document inside a collection
customer.Name = "Joana Doe";
col.Update(customer);
// Use LINQ to query documents (with no index)
var results = col.Find(x => x.Age > 20);
}
Using fluent mapper and cross document reference for more complex data models
// DbRef to cross references
public class Order
{
public ObjectId Id { get; set; }
public DateTime OrderDate { get; set; }
public Address ShippingAddress { get; set; }
public Customer Customer { get; set; }
public List<Product> Products { get; set; }
}
// Re-use mapper from global instance
var mapper = BsonMapper.Global;
// "Produts" and "Customer" are from other collections (not embedded document)
mapper.Entity<Order>()
.DbRef(x => x.Customer, "customers") // 1 to 1/0 reference
.DbRef(x => x.Products, "products") // 1 to Many reference
.Field(x => x.ShippingAddress, "addr"); // Embedded sub document
using(var db = new LiteDatabase("MyOrderDatafile.db"))
{
var orders = db.GetCollection<Order>("orders");
// When query Order, includes references
var query = orders
.Include(x => x.Customer)
.Include(x => x.Products) // 1 to many reference
.Find(x => x.OrderDate <= DateTime.Now);
// Each instance of Order will load Customer/Products references
foreach(var order in query)
{
var name = order.Customer.Name;
...
}
}
