LiteDB#

LiteDB is a serverless database delivered in a single small DLL written in .NET C# managed code. It’s a simple and fast NoSQL database solution for stand-alone applications.

Set up#

To use LiteDb with on-disk persistent storage:

1. Install the Microsoft.AspNetCore.Datasync.LiteDb package from NuGet.

2. Add a singleton for the LiteDatabase to the Program.cs:

   const connectionString = builder.Configuration.GetValue<string>("LiteDb:ConnectionString");
   builder.Services.AddSingleton<LiteDatabase>(new LiteDatabase(connectionString));
   

3. Derive models from the LiteDbTableData:

   public class TodoItem : LiteDbTableData
   {
       public string Title { get; set; }
       public bool Completed { get; set; }
   }
   

   You can use any of the BsonMapper attributes that are supplied with the LiteDb NuGet package.

4. Create a controller using the LiteDbRepository:

   [Route("tables/[controller]")]
   public class TodoItemController : TableController<TodoItem>
   {
       public TodoItemController(LiteDatabase db) : base()
       {
           Repository = new LiteDbRepository<TodoItem>(db, "todoitems");
       }
   }
