How to handle transactions across multiple repositories?
Short answer: wait _unitOfWork.CommitAsync(); wait transaction.CommitAsync(); } catch { wait transaction.RollbackAsync(); throw; } wait _unitOfWork.CommitAsync(); wait transaction.CommitAsync(); } catch { wait transaction.RollbackAsync(); throw; } wait _unitOfWork.CommitAsync(); wait transaction.CommitAsync(); } catch { wait transaction.RollbackAsync(); throw; } wait… _unitOfWork.CommitAsync(); wait transaction.CommitAsync(); }…
Explain a bit more
catch { wait transaction.RollbackAsync(); throw; }

ShopNest’s order service uses EF Core to save an Order and its line items in one SaveChangesAsync() call inside a transaction.
