Do Dapper inserts/updates require inline SQL? I just googled for Dapper implementation examples and it seems like all of the examples I found include inline SQL. Can you point me to any Dapper insert/update examples which don't use inline SQL? Or is inline SQL required for Dapper inserts/updates?
We are looking at building a few helpers, still deciding on APIs and if this goes in core or not. See: https://code.google.com/archive/p/dapper-dot-net/issues/6 for progress.
In the mean time you can do the following
val = "my value";
cnn.Execute("insert into Table(val) values (@val)", new {val});
cnn.Execute("update Table set val = @val where Id = @id", new {val, id = 1});
etcetera

Update
As pointed out in the comments, there are now several extensions available in the Dapper.Contrib project in the form of these IDbConnection
extension methods:
T Get<T>(id);
IEnumerable<T> GetAll<T>();
int Insert<T>(T obj);
int Insert<T>(Enumerable<T> list);
bool Update<T>(T obj);
bool Update<T>(Enumerable<T> list);
bool Delete<T>(T obj);
bool Delete<T>(Enumerable<T> list);
bool DeleteAll<T>();
Performing CRUD operations using Dapper is an easy task. I have mentioned the below examples that should help you in CRUD operations.
Code for CRUD:
Method #1: This method is used when you are inserting values from different entities.
using (IDbConnection db = new SqlConnection(ConfigurationManager.ConnectionStrings["myDbConnection"].ConnectionString))
{
string insertQuery = @"INSERT INTO [dbo].[Customer]([FirstName], [LastName], [State], [City], [IsActive], [CreatedOn]) VALUES (@FirstName, @LastName, @State, @City, @IsActive, @CreatedOn)";
var result = db.Execute(insertQuery, new
{
customerModel.FirstName,
customerModel.LastName,
StateModel.State,
CityModel.City,
isActive,
CreatedOn = DateTime.Now
});
}
Method #2: This method is used when your entity properties have the same names as the SQL columns. So, Dapper being an ORM maps entity properties with the matching SQL columns.
using (IDbConnection db = new SqlConnection(ConfigurationManager.ConnectionStrings["myDbConnection"].ConnectionString))
{
string insertQuery = @"INSERT INTO [dbo].[Customer]([FirstName], [LastName], [State], [City], [IsActive], [CreatedOn]) VALUES (@FirstName, @LastName, @State, @City, @IsActive, @CreatedOn)";
var result = db.Execute(insertQuery, customerViewModel);
}
Code for CRUD:
using (IDbConnection db = new SqlConnection(ConfigurationManager.ConnectionStrings["myDbConnection"].ConnectionString))
{
string selectQuery = @"SELECT * FROM [dbo].[Customer] WHERE FirstName = @FirstName";
var result = db.Query(selectQuery, new
{
customerModel.FirstName
});
}
Code for CRUD:
using (IDbConnection db = new SqlConnection(ConfigurationManager.ConnectionStrings["myDbConnection"].ConnectionString))
{
string updateQuery = @"UPDATE [dbo].[Customer] SET IsActive = @IsActive WHERE FirstName = @FirstName AND LastName = @LastName";
var result = db.Execute(updateQuery, new
{
isActive,
customerModel.FirstName,
customerModel.LastName
});
}
Code for CRUD:
using (IDbConnection db = new SqlConnection(ConfigurationManager.ConnectionStrings["myDbConnection"].ConnectionString))
{
string deleteQuery = @"DELETE FROM [dbo].[Customer] WHERE FirstName = @FirstName AND LastName = @LastName";
var result = db.Execute(deleteQuery, new
{
customerModel.FirstName,
customerModel.LastName
});
}
