EFCore - When to save changes
I have an application that uses EFCore.
In this application, I have a method that gets some values from the database, and may or may not change them based on some conditions.
How should I handle the saving of changes in this scenario?
I've thought of a few solutions:
- Meticulously try to only call SaveChanges if a values was changed (for example by having a local change boolean)
- Simply always call SaveChanges at the end of the function
- A hybrid approach, call DbContext.ChangeTracker.HasChanges() and only call SaveChanges if this returns true
What would be the best approach of these? (alternate approaches are also welcome)
