Getting started

Initialize

using (IDocumentStore store = new DocumentStore
{
    Urls = new[]                        // URL to the Server,
    {                                   // or list of URLs 
        "http://live-test.ravendb.net"  // to all Cluster Servers (Nodes)
    },
    Database = "Northwind",             // Default database that DocumentStore will interact with
    Conventions = { }                   // DocumentStore customizations
})
{
    store.Initialize();                 // Each DocumentStore needs to be initialized before use.
                                        // This process establishes the connection with the Server
                                        // and downloads various configurations
                                        // e.g. cluster topology or client configuration
}

Store documents

using (IDocumentSession session = store.OpenSession())  // Open a session for a default 'Database'
{
    Category category = new Category
    {
        Name = "Database Category"
    };

    session.Store(category);                            // Assign an 'Id' and collection (Categories)
                                                        // and start tracking an entity

    Product product = new Product
    {
        Name = "RavenDB Database",
        Category = category.Id,
        UnitsInStock = 10
    };

    session.Store(product);                             // Assign an 'Id' and collection (Products)
                                                        // and start tracking an entity

    session.SaveChanges();                              // Send to the Server
                                                        // one request processed in one transaction
}

Query

using (IDocumentSession session = store.OpenSession())  // Open a session for a default 'Database'
{
    List<string> productNames = session
        .Query<Product>()                               // Query for Products
        .Where(x => x.UnitsInStock > 5)                 // Filter
        .Skip(0).Take(10)                               // Page
        .Select(x => x.Name)                            // Project
        .ToList();                                      // Materialize query
}
