Implementing the unit of work and repository patterns
The unit of work and repository patterns provide an additional abstraction layer between the database and the view model. They enable you to eliminate data storage-related logic from the view model, promoting modular reuse across different parts of your application. These patterns facilitate clear separation of concerns and mitigate concurrency issues when multiple transactions are executed simultaneously.
A repository is responsible for accessing domain objects, typically corresponding to individual tables in a database. On the other hand, a unit of work encapsulates multiple repositories and ensures that transactions involving multiple tables are either fully processed or entirely rejected. This capability is crucial for maintaining data consistency.
When integrated with EF Core, a unit of work typically manages a single instance of DbContext, shared among its constituent repositories. Each repository leverages this shared...
