Dapper VS ua-parser-js

Even those the old backend code to read from a database would work, the code was rewritten using Dapper. Had to add two column aliases in SQL SELECT statements and everything worked.

In this article learn how to create Excel spreadsheet documents from reading data from two SQL-Server table from a modified version of Microsoft NorthWind database using NuGet package Dapper and SpreadSheetLight to create and populate the spreadsheet files.

Learn how to read reference table from SQL-Server using a single method. What is shown provides an efficient way to either use a connection, command objects to read data via a SqlDataReader for conventional work using methods from SqlClient and also Dapper which requires two lines of code to read data and one line of code to store data into list.

Mature c# projects purposely maintain no downstream dependencies and is they do, it's to a major reputable lib. See for yourself - these are staple third party packages commonly used. Anything dependency starting with System or NETStandard is Microsoft maintained.

In this blog post, we are going to discuss how to bind the Syncfusion Blazor DataGrid with a database using Dapper and perform CRUD operations. To demonstrate this, we are going to create a bug tracker database table in MS SQL Server and perform CRUD operations in that table in a Blazor server-side application.

Entity Framework Core StackExchange/Dapper

Like there wouldn't be anything in between /s

There are "simple ORMs" that only map results of SQL queries to objects. They do not provide a magic query API - which is the source of most problems. I don't do Python, but for .NET there is Dapper https://github.com/StackExchange/Dapper, you can have a look what I mean. You write the SQL query, explicitly execute it, the library maps the results of that query into objects (it's C#, so you have to declare the class. In Python I'd imagine it would create the object for you)

To add some differences: EF tracks object state in an instance of a context, Dapper does not. Dapper is strictly for object mapping (taking the output of a query and mapping it onto an object). This makes Dapper far easier to implement, versus EF’s DbContext configuration. Due to the lack of tracking and slimmer wrapping, it’s also faster. Things get really great when you have multiple complex objects and multiple result sets. It takes a lot of boring boilerplate code out of your code.

Just take a look at this Dapper 2.0 feature that's been festering for months years.

Just look at all the big companies doing it

This project is backed under MIT License, special shout out to project UA-Parser, as liguard uses a piece of its source-code.

With NPM, what's actually published is not what's in the git repo, so it's harder to inspect/review vulnerabilities or hijacking. With composer, what's in git _is_ what composer pulls (with the exception of rules in .gitattributes to exclude files etc), making it much easier to trace. One such example: https://github.com/faisalman/ua-parser-js/issues/536

Composer packages are vendor namespaced, so hijacking an abandoned package is not possible (and it is with NPM), some examples like https://www.theregister.com/2021/08/10/github_npm_package/

Sure, I suppose in theory it could happen with other ecosystems, but for some reason it doesn't. It sure seems to just keep happening in NPM though.

From the other side, npm package may be hijacked(as it happened recently for ua-parser-js and to other packages earlier). To mitigate that, I don't know, probably, subscribing to some security digest would be the most helpful.

On Oct. 22, 2021, developers of a very common NPM package, ua-parser-js, discovered that some attackers uploaded a compromised version of the package containing malware for Linux and Windows, and were capable of stealing data (at least passwords and cookies from the browser).

Since Neovim 0.5 release (which has full Lua support) I see more and more amazing Lua plugins being developed, and I think this trend will likely to continue. But I recently got more concerned about security risks associated with the way Neovim plugins being installed and used (especially after seeing recent compromises like ua-parser-js or coa). Installing typical Neovim plugin is basically downloading and executing random code from the internet on your machine with your user privileges, so hijacked or deliberately malicious plugin could potentially do a lot of damage (like stealing keys/passwords, installing keylogger or just rm -rf / for fun).
