Lombiq Helpful Libraries

About

Various useful libraries that can be handy when developing for .NET, ASP.NET Core, and Orchard Core, to be used from your own projects.

We at Lombiq also used this library for the following projects:

• The new City of Santa Monica website when migrating it from Orchard 1 to Orchard Core (see case study).
• The new Smithsonian Folkways Recordings website when migrating it from Orchard 1 to Orchard Core (see case study).
• The new Lombiq website when migrating it from Orchard 1 to Orchard Core (see case study).
• The new Ik wil een taart website (see case study).
• The new client portal for WTW (see case study).
• The new Git-hg Mirror website when migrating it from Orchard 1 to Orchard Core (see case study).
• The new Hastlayer website when migrating it from Orchard 1 to Orchard Core (see case study).

Documentation

Helpful Libraries consists of the following independent libraries (all in their own projects/packages). Use the one specific to your use-case, or most of them at once by depending on Lombiq.HelpfulLibraries.

• ASP.NET Core Libraries
• Command Line Libraries
• Common Libraries
• LINQ to DB Libraries for Orchard Core
• Orchard Core Libraries
• RestEase Libraries for Orchard Core (Not included in Lombiq.HelpfulLibraries, we suggest the Refit libraries instead.)
• Refit Libraries for Orchard Core
• Source Generators
• Attributes

Public APIs are always documented so please always read method comments.

Check out the Lombiq.HelpfulLibraries.Samples project for various examples in the form of an Orchard Core module.

Note: The Lombiq.HelpfulLibraries.sln file exists to provide centralized building of the independent library projects but otherwise you don't need to use it.
