Generic repository contract and implementations. Currently only implemented for Elasticsearch, but there are plans for other implementations.

• Simple document repository pattern
  • CRUD operations: Add, Save, Remove, Get
• Supports patch operations
  • JSON patch
  • Partial document patch
  • Painless script patch (Elasticsearch)
  • Can be applied in bulk using queries
• Async events that can be wired up and listened to outside of the repos
• Caching (real-time invalidated before save and stored in distributed cache)
• Message bus support (enables real-time apps sends messages like doc updated up to the client so they know to update the UI)
• Searchable that works with Foundatio.Parsers lib for dynamic querying, filtering, sorting and aggregations
• Document validation
• Document versioning
• Soft deletes
• Auto document created and updated dates
• Document migrations
• Elasticsearch implementation
  • Plan to add additional implementations (Postgres with Marten would be a good fit)
• Elasticsearch index configuration allows simpler and more organized configuration
  • Schema versioning
  • Parent child queries
  • Daily and monthly index strategies
• Supports different consistency models (immediate, wait or eventual)
  • Can be configured at the index type or individual query level
• Query builders used to make common ways of querying data easier and more portable between repo implementations
• Can still use raw Elasticsearch queries
• Field includes and excludes to make the response size smaller
• Field conditions query builder
• Paging including snapshot paging support
• Dynamic field resolution for using friendly names of dynamically generated fields
• Jobs for index maintenance, snapshots, reindex
• Strongly typed field access (using lambda expressions) to enable refactoring
