I am very new to identity and MVC, I am trying to create an MVC app as one of my first projects.
I have been able to follow a few tutorials and have successfully added additional properties to my ApplicationUser : IdentityUser class
public class ApplicationUser
: IdentityUser<string, ApplicationUserLogin,
ApplicationUserRole, ApplicationUserClaim>
{
[Required]
[Display(Name = "UserName")]
[StringLength(50)]
public string Handle { get; set; }
[StringLength(100, ErrorMessage = "Your {0} can be at most {1} characters long.")]
[Display(Name = "First Name")]
public string FirstName { get; set; }
[StringLength(100, ErrorMessage = "Your {0} can be at most {1} characters long.")]
[Display(Name = "Last Name")]
public string LastName { get; set; }
[Required]
[Display(Name = "User Creation Date")]
public DateTime UserCreationDate { get; set; }
public ApplicationUser()
{
this.Id = Guid.NewGuid().ToString();
// Add any custom User properties/code here
}
My questions are:
I see where Email is set to require a unique Email in App_Start.IdentityConfig.cs, Is there a way to set it up to require a unique custom property like Handle?
var manager = new ApplicationUserManager(new UserStore<ApplicationUser, ApplicationRole, string, ApplicationUserLogin, ApplicationUserRole, ApplicationUserClaim>(context.Get<ApplicationDbContext>())); // Configure validation logic for usernames manager.UserValidator = new UserValidator<ApplicationUser>(manager) { AllowOnlyAlphanumericUserNames = false, RequireUniqueEmail = true };
In the Partial View of Views.Shared._LoginPartial.cshtml it shows the UserName/Email of the person logging into the application using User.Identity.GetUserName() is there a way to reference one of my custom properties there instead such as FirstName, or Handle?
@using Microsoft.AspNet.Identity @if (Request.IsAuthenticated) { using (Html.BeginForm("LogOff", "Account", FormMethod.Post, new { id = "logoutForm", @class = "navbar-right" })) { @Html.AntiForgeryToken() <ul class="nav navbar-nav navbar-right"> <li> @Html.ActionLink("Hello " + User.Identity.GetUserName() + "!", "Index", "Manage", routeValues: null, htmlAttributes: new { title = "Manage" }) </li> <li><a href="javascript:document.getElementById('logoutForm').submit()">Log off</a></li> </ul> } } else { <ul class="nav navbar-nav navbar-right"> <li>@Html.ActionLink("Register", "Register", "Account", routeValues: null, htmlAttributes: new { id = "registerLink" })</li> <li>@Html.ActionLink("Log in", "Login", "Account", routeValues: null, htmlAttributes: new { id = "loginLink" })</li> </ul> }
