Extensibility

OrigoDb can be extended with custom behavior by choosing between existing or writing your own implementations of one or more of the following interfaces:

ILogFactory - logging module, see Logging
ISynchronizer - Handles reader/writer synchronization, used by the Kernel.
ICommandStore - custom storage provider for commands. FileCommandStore is default. NullStore and SqlStore are available.
ISnapshotStore - custom storage provider for snapshots. FileSnapshotStore is default.
IFormatter - Xml, Json, BinaryFormatter (default), ProtoBuf…

Example

var config = new EngineConfiguration();
var provider = new MyStorageProvider(); //your customer provider
config.SetCommandStoreFactory(cfg => provider.CreateCommandStore(cfg));
db = Db.For<MyModel>(config);

When the engine requests an instance of ICommandStore, the injected custom constructor function is invoked, overriding the default FileCommandStore implementation. Similar injection methods for the other interfaces are available.

Formatters

Formatters are used to serialize snapshots, commands, queries, results. Different formatters can be used for the different usages. For reference, here is the FormatterUsage enum and an example showing how to use it.

public enum FormatterUsage
{
    Default,
    Snapshot,
    Journal,
    Results,
    Messages
}

//and some code showing usage
var config = new EngineConfiguration();
config.SetFormatterFactory(
  (cfg,formatterUsage) => new MyBsonFormatter(cfg, formatterUsage),
  FormatterUsage.Journal);

The default is FormatterUsage.Default meaning the injected constructor will applied to all usages that haven’t been explicitly set.
