Configuration

What is it about?

Configurations enable you to override Entity Framework Core's default behaviour (conventions) in respect to mapping entities and their properties and relationships to a relational database

Examples

Create Configuration Class

frontier dotnet add configuration [name-of-configuration]

Generates NameOfConfiguration.cs

using Microsoft.EntityFrameworkCore;
using Microsoft.EntityFrameworkCore.Metadata.Builders;
using NameOfProject.Domain.Entities;

namespace NameOfProject.Persistence.Configurations
{
    public class NameOfConfigurationConfiguration : IEntityTypeConfiguration<Faq>
    {
        public void Configure(EntityTypeBuilder<Faq> builder)
        {
            builder.Property(e => e.Property1)
                .HasColumnName("Property1")

            builder.Property(e => e.Property2)
                .IsRequired();
        }
    }
}

Description: This command generates a class configuration based of the name used in the command. The file will be located at projectName/src/ProjectNameApi.Persistence/NameOfConfiguration.cs. The file can then be modified to suit user's desired table.
