# Using Dapper.Rainbow in C# for CRUD Operations
This guide outlines how to use `Dapper.Rainbow` in C# for CRUD operations.
## 1. Setting Up
Add Dapper and Dapper.Rainbow to your project via NuGet:
```powershell
Install-Package Dapper -Version x.x.x
Install-Package Dapper.Rainbow -Version x.x.x
```
*Replace `x.x.x` with the latest version numbers.*
## 2. Database Setup and Requirements
For `Dapper.Rainbow` to function correctly, ensure each table has a primary key column named `Id`.
Example `Users` table schema:
```sql
CREATE TABLE Users (
Id INT IDENTITY(1,1) PRIMARY KEY,
Name VARCHAR(100),
Email VARCHAR(100)
);
```
## 3. Establishing Database Connection
Open a connection to your database:
```csharp
using System.Data.SqlClient;
var connectionString = "your_connection_string_here";
using var connection = new SqlConnection(connectionString);
connection.Open(); // Open the connection
```
## 4. Defining Your Database Context
Define a class for your database context:
```csharp
using Dapper;
using System.Data;
public class MyDatabase : Database<MyDatabase>
{
public Table<User> Users { get; set; }
}
public class User
{
public int Id { get; set; }
public string Name { get; set; }
public string Email { get; set; }
}
```
## 5. Performing CRUD Operations
### Insert
```csharp
var db = new MyDatabase { Connection = connection };
var newUser = new User { Name = "John Doe", Email = "john.doe@example.com" };
var insertedUser = db.Users.Insert(newUser);
```
### Select
Fetch users by ID or all users:
```csharp
var user = db.Users.Get(id); // Single user by ID
var users = connection.Query<User>("SELECT * FROM Users"); // All users
```
### Update
```csharp
var userToUpdate = db.Users.Get(id);
userToUpdate.Email = "new.email@example.com";
db.Users.Update(userToUpdate);
```
### Delete
```csharp
db.Users.Delete(id);
```
## 6. Working with Foreign Keys
Example schema for a `Posts` table with a foreign key to `Users`:
```sql
CREATE TABLE Posts (
Id INT IDENTITY(1,1) PRIMARY KEY,
UserId INT,
Content VARCHAR(255),
FOREIGN KEY (UserId) REFERENCES Users(Id)
);
```
Inserting a parent (`User`) and a child (`Post`) row:
```csharp
var newUser = new User { Name = "Jane Doe", Email = "jane.doe@example.com" };
var userId = db.Users.Insert(newUser);
var newPost = new Post { UserId = userId, Content = "Hello, World!" };
db.Connection.Insert(newPost); // Using Dapper for the child table
```
