Is your feature request related to a problem? Please describe the problem.
ABP Framework currently supports a variety of relational databases (SQL Server, PostgreSQL, MySQL, SQLite) and some NoSQL databases (MongoDB).
LiteDB is a lightweight, file-based NoSQL database that is simple to use, requires no server, and is ideal for:
- Small to medium-sized applications
- Desktop applications
- Edge computing scenarios
- Applications with low resource requirements
- Prototyping and rapid development
It would be extremely valuable if ABP Framework could officially support LiteDB as a database provider, similar to how it supports MongoDB. This would allow developers to build lightweight ABP applications without the need for a separate database server.
Describe the solution you'd like
We request the ABP Framework to add first-class, native official support for LiteDB (a lightweight file-based NoSQL document database) by building a dedicated integration module that aligns with ABP’s existing database provider design patterns (e.g., MongoDB/SQL providers). The solution should enable out-of-the-box LiteDB usage in ABP projects, with seamless integration of ABP’s core abstractions and features, requiring minimal developer configuration and no custom boilerplate code.

Research direction
Review the existing MongoDB and SQL provider integration patterns first, then assess how LiteDB could fit ABP’s core abstractions and module design. Done means a dedicated official provider supports the requested ABP features with minimal configuration; the issue names no specific files or tests to begin with.
