Interface ObjectRepository<T>

Type Parameters:
T - the type of the object to store.
All Superinterfaces:
org.dizitart.no2.common.meta.AttributesAware, AutoCloseable, EventAware, PersistentCollection<T>
public interface ObjectRepository<T> extends PersistentCollection<T>
Represents a type-safe persistent java object collection. An object repository is backed by a NitriteCollection, where all objects are converted into a Document and saved into the database.

An object repository is observable like its underlying NitriteCollection.

Create a repository 
 
 // create/open a database
 Nitrite db = Nitrite.builder()
      .openOrCreate("user", "password");

 // create an object repository
 ObjectRepository<Employee> employeeStore = db.getRepository(Employee.class);

 // insert an object
 Employee emp = new Employee();
 emp.setName("John Doe");
 employeeStore.insert(emp);

      Returns:
      the result of the write operation.
      Throws:
      ValidationException - if object is null.
      InvalidIdException - if the id value contains null value.
      InvalidIdException - if the id value contains non comparable type, i.e. type that does not implement Comparable.
      InvalidIdException - if the id contains value which is not of the same java type as of other objects' id in the collection.
      UniqueConstraintException - if the value of id value clashes with the id of another object in the collection.
