GeometryToMySqlGeometryPropertyHandler

A property handler that maps the MariaDB spatial types into a MySqlGeometry property.

A property handler that maps the MariaDB spatial types (GEOMETRY, POINT, LINESTRING, POLYGON, MULTIPOINT, MULTILINESTRING, MULTIPOLYGON and GEOMETRYCOLLECTION) into a MySqlGeometry property of the MySql.Data based connector of the package.

Overview

Name	Description
Class	`GeometryToMySqlGeometryPropertyHandler`
Namespace	`RepoDb.PropertyHandlers.MariaDb`
Package	RepoDb.MariaDb
Implements	IPropertyHandler`<object, MySqlGeometry>`
Column type	The MariaDB spatial types (`GEOMETRY`, `POINT`, `LINESTRING`, `POLYGON`, `MULTIPOINT`, `MULTILINESTRING`, `MULTIPOLYGON` and `GEOMETRYCOLLECTION`)
Property type	`MySqlGeometry`

Conversions

Method	Direction	Description
Get	Database to property	Converts the spatial value returned by the driver into a `MySqlGeometry`. A `MySqlGeometry` is returned as is, a `byte[]` is converted via `new MySqlGeometry(MySqlDbType.Geometry, bytes)`, and any other value, including `null` and `DBNull`, is returned as a null geometry (`IsNull` is `true`).
Set	Property to database	Converts the `MySqlGeometry` into the value written into the spatial column, which the driver serializes as its MySQL/MariaDB internal format. A null geometry (`IsNull` is `true`) is written as `null`.

Usability

Bind the handler to the property that maps to a spatial column.

Attribute

public class Place
{
    public int Id { get; set; }

    [Map("location"), PropertyHandler(typeof(GeometryToMySqlGeometryPropertyHandler))]
    public MySqlGeometry Location { get; set; }
}

Once bound, the library invokes the handler automatically when the property is read or written.

using (var connection = new MariaDbConnection(connectionString))
{
    MySqlGeometry location = GetLocation(); // a MySqlGeometry created via the API of the driver
    connection.Insert(new Place { Id = 1, Location = location });
    var place = connection.Query<Place>(e => e.Id == 1).First();
}

Fluent Mapping

To configure via FluentMapper:

FluentMapper
    .Entity<Place>()
    .PropertyHandler<GeometryToMySqlGeometryPropertyHandler>(e => e.Location);

Property Level Mapping

To configure via PropertyHandlerMapper:

PropertyHandlerMapper.Add<Place, GeometryToMySqlGeometryPropertyHandler>(e => e.Location, new GeometryToMySqlGeometryPropertyHandler(), true);

Type Level Mapping

To apply the handler to every property of the type MySqlGeometry:

PropertyHandlerMapper.Add<MySqlGeometry, GeometryToMySqlGeometryPropertyHandler>(new GeometryToMySqlGeometryPropertyHandler(), true);
