Several useful addons for EF (Entity Framework Core):
- UnPluralizing convention,
- Data Annotations with extra attributes,
- EntityId and Enum interface,
- Audit Info config,
- Generics.
*Note: Still in progres...
Also take a look into others packages:

FEATURES:
Keeps table names singular in DB like Entities classes are (also keeping PascalCase) while DbSets remains in plural.
To set it up, call RemovePluralizingTableNameConvention
from OnModelCreating
:
protected override void OnModelCreating(ModelBuilder modelBuilder)
{
modelBuilder.RemovePluralizingTableNameConvention();
...
}
NOTE: Useful for versions prior to .Net7, mainly for .Net6, since with .Net7+ it can be achieved directly by overriding a method in DbContext:
// In DbContext
protected override void ConfigureConventions(ModelConfigurationBuilder configurationBuilder)
{
configurationBuilder.Conventions.Remove(typeof(TableNameFromDbSetConvention));
}
Are made to avoid using FluentAPI and keep all Db configs in a single place on Entity
(makes it more clear and simple - DRY principle)
Implemented with method ConfigureExtendedAnnotations
on modelBuilder called from OnModelCreating.
-New Attributes from the library:
Attributes | Description |
---|---|
[Index()] |
enables configuring Index on one or several columns |
[UniqueIndex()] |
enables configuring Unique Index on one or several columns |
[DefaultValue(object)] |
sets Db default value |
[DefaultValueSql("getdate()")] |
sets Db default value with Sql |
[ForeignKeyExtension(DeleteBehavior.)] |
extends FK attribute, adds option to set DeleteBehavior |
DeleteBehavior.NoAction |
sometimes needed to avoid fk cascade multiple paths and cycles |
-Native ones from EF are:
Attributes | Attributes | Attributes | Attributes |
---|---|---|---|
[Table(tblName)] |
[Key] |
[DatabaseGenerated()] |
[Owned] |
[Column(name, typeName)] |
[ForeignKey(FkName)] |
[Timestamp] |
[ComplexType] |
[Required] |
[Index(indName)] |
[ConcurrencyCheck] |
[NotMapped] |
[MaxLength(255)] |
[Index(indName, IsUnique)] |
[Precision(20, 4)] |
Notes:
[Precision]
is used for customizing Decimal type, default being (18, 2) meaning 18 significant digits of which 16 is for whole number and 2 decimal places.
