# EntityFramework.Caching
Entity Framework does not currently support caching of query results. A sample EF Caching provider is available for Entity Framework version 5 and earlier but due to changes to the provider model this sample provider does not work with Entity Framework 6 and newer. This project is filling the gap by enabling caching of query results for Entity Framework 6.1 applications.
This created based on [EFCache](https://github.com/moozzyk/EFCache) introduced by **Pawel Kadluczka** but with a main difference.
My main approach here is to cache database entites as well as query results. this approach reduce queries sending to DB many many more than caching just query results.
# How to get it
You can get it from NuGet - just install the [EF.Caching.Cache NuGet package](https://www.nuget.org/packages/EF.Caching.Cache/)
If you wanna use **Memory** as cache provider, add package [EF.Caching.InMemory NuGet package](https://www.nuget.org/packages/EF.Caching.InMemory)
If you prefer to use **Redis** as cache provider, use package [EF.Caching.Redis.StackExchange NuGet package](https://www.nuget.org/packages/EF.Caching.Redis.StackExchange) or [EF.Caching.Redis.ServiceStack NuGet package](https://www.nuget.org/packages/EF.Caching.Redis.ServiceStack)
# How to use it
To make it work, just add `EntityFrameworkCache.Initialize()` method at app startup (before EF is used) and use proper config related to your cache provider:
**In Memory:**
```C#
EntityFrameworkCache.Initialize(new InMemoryCache());
```
**Redis using ServiceStack library:**
```C#
EntityFrameworkCache.Initialize(new ServiceStackRedisCache(new ServiceStackRedisCacheOptions
{
Host = "localhost"
}));
```
**Redis using StackExchange library:**
```C#
EntityFrameworkCache.Initialize(new StackExchangeRedisCache(new StackExchangeRedisCacheOptions()
{
Configuration = "localhost:6379"
}));
```
