Templates

Entity

The Entity template typically represents database tables and defines the data model.

Example Usage:

public class Product : BaseDto {
     
}

Dto

The Dto (Data Transfer Object) template is typically used to create objects for data transfer.

Example Usage:

public class ProductDto : BaseDto {
     
}

Repository

The Repository template provides cleaner architecture and data access.

Example Usage:

public class ProductRepository : BaseRepository<Product> {
    public ProductRepository() { }
}

ServiceHelper

The ServiceHelper template is used to create helper classes used in the service layer. It prevents code duplication and handles error checking across services.

Example Usage:

public class ProductService : BaseService<ProductRepository, ProductDto, Product> {
    public ProductService() { }
}
