Minimal dapper in F#

Dapper.fs

module DapperFSharp =
    open System.Data.SqlClient
    open System.Dynamic
    open System.Collections.Generic
    open Dapper

    let dapperQuery<'Result> (query:string) (connection:SqlConnection) =
        connection.Query<'Result>(query)
    
    let dapperParametrizedQuery<'Result> (query:string) (param:obj) (connection:SqlConnection) : 'Result seq =
        connection.Query<'Result>(query, param)
    
    let dapperMapParametrizedQuery<'Result> (query:string) (param : Map<string,_>) (connection:SqlConnection) : 'Result seq =
        let expando = ExpandoObject()
        let expandoDictionary = expando :> IDictionary<string,obj>
        for paramValue in param do
            expandoDictionary.Add(paramValue.Key, paramValue.Value :> obj)
    
        connection |> dapperParametrizedQuery query expando

Sample.fsx

type User = { UserId:string }

let getUsers connection =
    connection
    |> dapperQuery<User> "SELECT UserID From tbUser"
    
let getUser userId connection =
    connection
    |> dapperMapParametrizedQuery<User> "SELECT UserID From tbUser WHERE UserId = @UserId" (Map ["UserId", userId])
    |> Seq.head

type UserSelectArgs = { SelectedUserId:string}

let getUser' userId connection =
    connection
    |> dapperParametrizedQuery<User> "SELECT UserID From tbUser WHERE UserId = @SelectedUserId" {SelectedUserId=userId}
    |> Seq.head

Can anyone comment on how this compares to FsSql? -> https://github.com/mausch/FsSql
Seems similar at a glance.

Awesome

This looks great! I was wondering whether you could help me out here. When I run this in and try to print out something like the "getUsers" over my data all I get is<fun:users@187>. I've tried iterating with Seq.iter and Seq.map for individuals printing. I even had to cast the items with Seq.cast and I'm getting errors that my expression isn't finished even when I call something like Seq.head on the last pipe. What am I not understanding?

incomplete, created these two files in f# and imported Dapper in PM and red squiggles all over!

I found this example very helpful but I needed one more thing to get it all working with Dotnet Core 2.1.3: the result types have to be annotated with [<CLIMutable>] in order to give the record a default constructor with property getters/setters.

Also, I noticed that passing the Map directly in dapperMapParametrizedQuery works fine without having to create an Expando. That function turns into a one-liner. Not sure if this is specific to the 2.1.3.

@ovatsug25, it sounds like you're only partially applying the function. Are you sure you passed all the arguments, like the connection argument as well?

What do you think about this?

It would be nice if the sample script included an example of how to run the functions (including a sample connection string).

This looks useful. I'm trying to port a C# Dapper library using the Unit of Work pattern which is how I ended up here. What's missing (for me) is a way to wrap this up with transactions.

Definitely would be a plus to add the "chrome" around these snippets. They're very helpful. New users can add

open System.Data.SqlClient
open Dapper
open Npgsql

let connString = "Host=localhost;Database=exampleDB;Username=postgres;Password=example"
let connection = new NpgsqlConnection(connString)
connection.Open()

Note: You'll also need to install Npgsql: dotnet add package Npgsql --version 3.2.7 if you're using Postgres, like I am.

Many thanks @vbfox & @nobleach, the script works and saved me hours of frustration!
