Simplified Creation Patterns
#Simplified Creation Patterns
###Repository Factory We wanted to provide a simple way to construct both domain repositories and simple Repositories. This lead us to create two different factories for repository. We ship a default factory for both of these, but we also ship interfaces for these as a test and extension point.
####Repository Factory
This allows you to construct a simple repository that doesn’t need any of the DomainRepository features.
public interface IRepositoryFactory
{
/// <summary>
/// Creates a repository for the requested domain
/// </summary>
/// <returns>Domain specific repository</returns>
IRepository Create();
}
####Domain Repository Factory This allows you construct a repository specific to any domain that the factory is dependent on.
public interface IDomainRepositoryFactory
{
/// <summary>
/// Creates a repository for the specified <see cref="IDomain"/>
/// </summary>
/// <typeparam name="T">Domain for repository</typeparam>
/// <returns><see cref="IRepository"/></returns>
IRepository Create<T>() where T : class, IDomain;
/// <summary>
/// Creates a repository for the specified <see cref="IDomain"/>
/// </summary>
/// <param name="T">Domain for repository</param>
/// <returns><see cref="IRepository"/></returns>
IRepository Create(Type type);
}
