Plural table names are default convention in EF. but when I have added the prefix I can not make names anymore plural unfortunately. Any ideas?
protected override void OnModelCreating(DbModelBuilder modelBuilder) {
modelBuilder.Types()
.Configure(entity => entity.ToTable("MyPrefix_" + entity.ClrType.Name));
modelBuilder.Conventions.Add<PluralizingTableNameConvention>();
base.OnModelCreating(modelBuilder);
}
The PluralizingTableNameConvention uses a PluralizationService that can be used anywhere. So you can go ahead and use it in your configuration code.
Here is an example using a Model "Person" which should be pluralized to "People":
public DbSet<Person> Persons { get; set; }
protected override void OnModelCreating(System.Data.Entity.DbModelBuilder modelBuilder)
{
var serv = PluralizationService.CreateService(new System.Globalization.CultureInfo("en-us"));
modelBuilder.Types()
.Configure(entity => entity.ToTable("MyPrefix_" + serv.Pluralize(entity.ClrType.Name)));
modelBuilder.Conventions.Remove<PluralizingTableNameConvention>();
base.OnModelCreating(modelBuilder);
}
After running this code it will correctly pluralize the Persons model to "MyPrefix_People" in the database.
To you use the PluralizationService you will have to reference the System.Data.Entity.Design
assembly.
