A library for entensions to Entity Framework Core for model building.
Currently this only includes setting default values for SQL databases.
This package is available for install on Nuget.
Install-Package EFCore.ModelBuilderExtensions -Version 1.0.0
dotnet add package EFCore.ModelBuilderExtensions --version 1.0.0
In the model context, use the SetSQLDefaultValues() extension method inside the OnModelCreating method.
protected override void OnModelCreating(ModelBuilder modelBuilder)
{
modelBuilder.SetSQLDefaultValues();
}
Add the SqlDefaultValue attribute in the EFCore.ModelBuilderExtensions.Attributes namespace on an Entity Framework model class.
public class ExampleClass
{
[SqlDefaultValue("Hello World")]
public string ClassProperty { get; set; }
[SqlDefaultValue("getdate()")]
public DateTime DateProperty { get; set; }
}
Now you're set!
Use the standard Add-Migration command in the package manager console. If you go to the migration that is built you will notice the defaultValueSql property is set against the column definition.
