A slightly enhanced version of "Generic Entity Framework 6 data repository for .NET 4.5 supporting both sync and async methods".

#Credits Many thanks and appreciation to the main developer of the project: Matt Mombrea

#Usage

• Reference Data.Repository in your project, then bring BaseRepository class into your application scope to consume its functionality.

public class CategoryService : BaseRepository<Category>
{
    public CategoryService(AppDbContext context)
        : base(context)
    { }
}

• Inherit from BaseRepository in your Repository or Service classes and initialize the constructor and base constructor with an optional data context.

public class ComplexRepository<T> : BaseRepository<T> where T : class
{
    public ComplexRepository(AppDbContext context = null)
        : base(context)
    { }
}

#Overrides

• All methods in BaseRepository are marked virtual to overriding convenience.

public override async Task<Category> GetAsync(object id)
{
    return await Db.Categories.SingleOrDefaultAsync(x => x.categoryID == id);
}

• IRepository interface represents a "contract" that can be implemented or used to extend the core repository classes method, etc.
