Can CosmosDB (DocumentDB) Xamarin and dot .net standard library.

Question

I know that CosmosDB (documentdb) is not compatible with a PCL with Xamarin forms. All the examples I can find use a shared library.

Is CosmosDB (documentdb) compatible with Xamarin Forms using a dot net standard library? Are there any code examples?

Any suggestions or should we just stick with the Shared Library method?

Answer 1

Microsoft.Azure.documentdb.Core is compatible with .net standard 1.6 or greater so standard libraries are a option. Personally I prefer to put the database access in a web service I create to keep my database connection info secure
