Antler

Pluggable framework for .NET to work with popular ORMs (NHibernate, EntityFramework, Linq2Db) and NoSQL storages (MongoDB) using the same syntax. Antler framework is an abstraction over ORM/storage that you like to use.

Goals

To use common syntax to work with the different ORMs/storages to be able easily replace one with another.
To have very easy "fluent" configuration.
To be fully pluggable. For example, it should be damn easy to choose which ORM, database or IoC container to use.
Applications that use the framework should be easily testable (unit & integration tests).

Usage examples

Inserting Teams in a database:

UnitOfWork.Do(uow =>
                    {
                        uow.Repo<Team>().Insert(new Team() {Name = "Penguins", Description = "Hockey"});
                        uow.Repo<Team>().Insert(new Team() {Name = "Capitals", Description = "Hockey"});
                        uow.Repo<Team>().Insert(new Team() {Name = "Nets", Description = "Basketball"});
                    });

Querying Teams from a database:

var found = UnitOfWork.Do(uow => uow.Repo<Team>().AsQueryable().Where(t => t.Description == "Hockey").
                                                                OrderBy(t => t.Name).ToArray());

Configuration examples

For example, let's configure an application to use (NHibernate + Sqlite database) and Castle Windsor container:

var configurator = new AntlerConfigurator();
configurator.UseWindsorContainer().UseStorage(NHibernateStorage.Use.
                                              WithDatabaseConfiguration(SQLiteConfiguration.Standard.InMemory()).
                                              WithMappings(assemblyWithMappings));

Let's configure an application to use (EntityFramework Code First + SqlServer) and StructureMap container:

var configurator = new AntlerConfigurator();
configurator.UseStructureMapContainer().UseStorage(EntityFrameworkStorage.Use.
                                              WithConnectionString(connectionString).
                                              WithMappings(assemblyWithMappings));
