C# API/binding for ObjectBox #5

Open daybson opened 4 years ago

daybson commented 4 years ago

Is possible to make it C# compatible to Xamarin/Unity 3D?

RileyGe commented 4 years ago

I also want to know this.

It should be possible; e.g. this might be a starting point.

For making this usable in C#, you probably also want to look into extending ObjectBox Generator.

C# bindings would be great for hosting on dotnet (core)

Hmm, I'm not really sure the I understand correctly what is required to make it happen. Does the ObjectBox Generator need to be extended?

It should be possible; e.g. this might be a starting point.

Or is there an c++ interface that needs to be implemented?

Thanks!

To clarify for people interested in this, let me try to give some initial guidance what needs to be done

A new C# runtime library that builds upon the ObjectBox C APIs to offer the basic functionality of ObjectBox, e.g. opening a store, putting and getting "bytes" (containing FlatBuffer objects) into/from the database
The generator needs extended to emit C# code for entity types. Also these types need generated code to tie them to the C# API, e.g. do the conversion C# object <-> FlatBuffers.

Having a look at an existing API/binding like ObjectBox Go would certainly help.

@greenrobot, hi there, Is there any plan for a C# SDK for ObjectBox? Almost every other language except C# is supported. Just curious to hear what the plan is, now that Realm will not be supported anymore.
