What is the Repository Pattern?

Why use it with EF Core (pros and

cons)?

• Repository Pattern abstracts data access logic, exposing CRUD methods to the

application.

• Pros:
• Decouples data access logic from business logic.
• Easier to mock/test.
• Encapsulates queries in a single place.
• Cons:
• EF Core’s DbContext already acts like a repository and unit of work.
• Can add unnecessary abstraction and boilerplate.
• May limit EF Core’s powerful querying features.
