This repository is intended to host a basic MongoDB provider implementation for Entity Framework Core. You should not try to use it for a real-life development as it won't support all of the functionalities you'd want to use. These plans may eventually change in the future.

As of the writing of these lines, everything you could find here is a really early stage, so you shouldn't expect anything from it.

On the other hand, if anyone want to provide help, I'd be glad to receive it.

At the moment, the provider can handle very simple Find queries, without any filter or projection. In the SQL world, we'd say it can handle SELECT * FROM table queries.

The test application execute 3 Find queries and display their results in the console.

The sample database used to test the provider contains 3 collections :

Customer : One document described below.

{
    "_id": {
        "$oid": "583407e7f36d28568d3171eb"
    },
    "FirstName": "Jean",
    "LastName": "Dupont",
    "PhoneNumber": "0102030405"
}

City : 29353 documents built from http://media.mongodb.org/zips.json

The first one is described below :

{
    "_id": {
        "$oid": "583996e86b658852bc27ffd0"
    },
    "Zip": "01001",
    "Name": "AGAWAM",
    "Location": [
        "-72.622739",
        "42.070206"
    ],
    "Population": 15338,
    "State": "MA"
}

Persons : 2 documents described below :

{
    "_id": {
        "$oid": "583407e7f36d28568d3171eb"
    },
    "FirstName": "Jean",
    "LastName": "Dupont",
    "PhoneNumber": "0102030405"
},
{
    "_id": {
        "$oid": "585c4f09734d1d400d12898a"
    },
    "FirstName": "Michel",
    "LastName": "Martin",
    "PhoneNumber": "0504030201"
}

At the moment, two Data Annotations have been implemented : [Field(name)] and [Collection(name)]. They are used to configure the field name relative to a property and the collection name relative to an entity type.

The underlying connection will be handled at first using the .NET driver for MongoDB :

• Nuget Package : https://www.nuget.org/packages/MongoDB.Driver/
• Github : https://github.com/mongodb/mongo-csharp-driver

Using a low-level driver may be a better way of doing things, I'll check it later.
