This question was asked here 4 years ago: EF Mapping to prefix all column names within a table I'm hoping there's better handling these days.
I'm using EF6 Fluent API, what I'll call Code First Without Migrations. I have POCOs for my models, and the majority of my database column names are defined as [SingularTableName]Field
(e.g., CustomerAddress db column maps to Address field in Customers POCO)
Table:
CREATE TABLE dbo.Customers (
-- ID, timestamps, etc.
CustomerName NVARCHAR(50),
CustomerAddress NVARCHAR(50)
-- etc.
);
Model:
public class Customer
{
// id, timestamp, etc
public string Name {get;set;}
public string Address {get;set;}
}
ModelBuilder:
modelBuilder<Customer>()
.Property(x => x.Name).HasColumnName("CustomerName");
modelBuilder<Customer>()
.Property(x => x.Address).HasColumnName("CustomerAddress");
Goal:
What I'd really like is to be able to say something like this for the FluentAPI:
modelBuilder<Customer>().ColumnPrefix("Customer");
// handle only unconventional field names here
// instead of having to map out column names for every column
