Question

I wanted to start using breeze js with an existing application. This application already has existing service that expose domain objects that are mapped from entity framework data object.

I wanted to expose these domain objects meta data to breeze so i could use it to track these entities on the client side and save changes. When these changes are saved from breeze I would then work out server side what needed to be done to persist these changes to my data objects.

I’ve looked at the EF context provider supplied in the breeze samples and was wondering what would be required to create a new context provider that would wrap my domain model ( not DBContext) exposing its metadata and also implement custom saving logic?

Has anyone done this already? Is there pipeline for breeze I’ve had a look on the user voice site and it looks like Extensible saveOptions and queryOptions are already under review but there is not much detail.

Answer 1

There is a ToDo-NoEF sample provided in the samples zip found here. It shows how to communicate with an arbitrary IQueryable on the server. Is this what you were looking for?
