# What's GraphDiff?

GraphDiff is a DbContext extension methods for Entity Framework Code First, that allow you to save an entire detached Model/Entity, with child Entities and Lists, to the database without writing the code to do it.

**This version is for EF6+.** If you would like to use the project on EF(4.3,5.0) see this branch https://github.com/refactorthis/GraphDiff/tree/EF4-5.

Please see the initial post @ https://refactorthis.wordpress.com/2012/12/11/introducing-graphdiff-for-entity-framework-code-first-allowing-automated-updates-of-a-graph-of-detached-entities/ for more information.

## Features

 - Merge an entire graph of detached entities to the database using DbContext.UpdateGraph();

 - Ensures concurrency is maintained for all child entities in the graph

 - Allows for different configuration mappings to ensure that only changes within the defined graph are persisted

 - Comprehensive testing suite to cover many (un/)common scenarios.

 

## Proposed Features

 - Fluent API style mapping of aggregates on bootstrapping

 - Retrieve an aggregate from the database without specifying include expressions

 - Define the aggregate using attributes on the models

 - Allow for the initial db query to be performed as multiple queries where needed (too many includes, etc)

## Release Notes

2.0.1

 - Rewrite of graph traversal code and rewrite of tests to cover more scenarios.

 - multiple bug fixes
